Posted: 7/18/06 at 4:21pmOK, I just think she deserves her own thread, here's to the girl with pipes of steel!
Tina Maddigan, who plays Sophie in the biggest role of her young career, remembers "bouncing on the sofa as a child at home in Newfoundland, listening to ABBA records." GO TINA!!

Oh yeah! Felicia. She just gets "it", she is fantastic. Her dancing is impressive. A real triple threat.

EEEEE thank you for starting this threaddd! it was MAJORLY needed! Ok, so the girl is like- one of the most talented, gorgeous people I have EVER seen, and then she walkes out at the stage door and could not be more happy to chat with all the fans!! she's practically a fangirl of Wedding Singer herself!! hehehe. So yeah... it just amazes me that someone that talented, who COULD be soooo concieted, is like- the nicest person ever 
and I love her for it. hehe

Posted: 7/18/06 at 4:30pmOkay i wasn't sure who I liked better or who made me laugh more between the two: Spanger or Finley. Amazing show, amazing cast...I think this one will be the word of mouth show to be completely honest.
I made a list of all your faults, it was quite detailed and lengthy too and when I read it through I missed you. Your like a classic Eagles song, you just cant help but sing along even though it sometimes gets annoying too. I just know I want to be wherever I can wake and see you there next to me. **High Fidelity**

Do we really need a thread for EVERY cast member?
In any case, I love Felicia as well.

There actually was an "Official Stephen Lynch Love Thread" on the off-topic board but it died a long time ago with like 10 or less posts...it was a shame.
Hmmm...maybe I should go bump it, lol.

FELICIA! AH! What a joy to talk to! I was standing there talking to her for a full twenty minutes until somebody came and interrupted us. But I guess I was kind of hogging her. haha I'm so jealous of this girl.
The Gals of the Wedding Singer. They're all amazing. "SOMEDAY" i'll hope to be one!

So... you know what just hit me? and I have no idea why whatsoever... but its a good thought so I'm posting it hehe. How AMAZING would felicia be as maureen in RENT!? to hear her do Take me or leave me... gahhhh. And her over the moon would be like- THE most hysterical thing in all of history. Okay, that is all hehe
seriously though.. I think I might just tell her when I go to see WS next that after WS she should def, def, DEF try out for RENT if she hasn't before :P

Yes, she was :P but, she's really flawless in everything she does. She came like... *THIS* close to actually being BETTER than Sherie as Amneris in Aida!! *THIS* close! heck, if I saw it again I have a feeling I might even say she was AS good, maybe even a liiittle BETTER than sherie. That's a bit of a stretch though simply cause sherie pwned that role like Idina pwned Elphaba in Wicked. haha. But seriously, Felicia was friggin unreal

Hahaha Felicia would be be an amazing Maureen.
I never saw Aida, but I heard both Sherie and Felicia (Sherie on the OBCR, Felicia at "Dance for Life" last year), and I'd have to say I liked Felicia better . My opinion might be different if I actually saw the show, though.

Was the Dance for Life thing August 4th?
And I concur, she would make an amazing Maureen.
#22re: FELICIA FINLEY ROCKS!!
Posted: 7/19/06 at 7:31pmYes, I do believe it was.

I believe Ms. Finley nearly was Maureen in RENT a few years back, but she took a role in another show where she was able to create it as part of an original cast. She'd be amazing in RENT, I have heard her sing 'Take Me Or Leave Me', and it's fantastic!
She also sang the lead in 'Seasons of Love' at the BroadwayWorld X-mas concert at Birdland, it was unreal too.

^OMGZ. is there um.. *cough* of that seasons of love? :) good lord do I need to hear that. hahah
and yeah.. now I am like.. obsessed with this idea. She NEEDS to do rent. Obviously she needs to finish up at wedding singer first, but RENT is simply calling her name!!
