Emily reminds me... what about Emily Skeggs? She's definitely charming, can act, has a really good voice with a decent belt range - think she can pull off a Disney princess?
And not to beat a dead horse, but I really think Jordan's future was locked during the out-of-town-tryout - not before.

She played Evelyn Nesbit in "Ragtime" in high school (or maybe college?) so I think she could easily pull off feminine roles! She certainly acts the young adult awkwardness type very well. What an inspired choice!

Ha, Betsy's picture at IG is hilarious. Honey, we know it's Frozen
But, what about Kara Lindsay or Elizabeth Lali who played her on OUAT?

I hope Patti sticks with the show. I know she's the greatest fan of this site, but I still think she's extremely talented and she deserves more recognition.

Patti Murin retweeted Bobby Lopez's tweet about the first day of rehearsal - safe to assume she's still with the project.

I agree. It's time to let that go.

As if Patti Murin's foolish rants personally wounded us all.

No wound. She just has to apologize to us.

Why apologize? I've seen some of her rants and she's entitled to her opinion. Besides there's nothing wrong with not being afraid to speak your mind.

She's very talented and I personally love her, but her little rant was easily very off-putting for many, myself included, a prior and post fan.

She bad mouthed the board. Is that right?

My problem isn't her bad mouthing the board. Frankly, the boards are filled with some very mean, very bad people. But she's very hypocritical. There lies my personal issue. She also never tried to resolve the issue, she just posted a petty blog post and left it at that. I'm so happy she's continuing as Anna.

Well to be honest, if I were a Broadway actor I'd totally hate us too.

So there's some people in the world that are hypocrites. I know I met some. But let's stay on the topic of "Frozen" please.

Your last 3 messages were all about Patti. Don't see how that was sticking to the topic of Frozen. Patti, much?

Yeah, let's go back to talking about how inspired my Emily Skeggs suggestion was, you guys.

I don't have a personal issue with her, despite her petty personal issue with me. (I was right, btw.)
I just don't think she's right for Anna in Frozen.

Betsy posted something about avocados and the first day of rehearsal on Monday. So I would assume.

Someone said SOMEWHERE on these boards it was some producer agreement/contract that to keep costs down, this new lab isn't a "second" one so much as just the second half of the first one, basically it was just a longer lab that is being split in two, so logic would dictate that it's same spring cast...but I heard there was a tiny little lab this summer as well, so who the hell knows. And who knows if it was the same cast for that one...as long as it's still Betsy, we all are happy I'm sure.
Speaking of Jeremy...future Hans anyone?? I know y'all have said it was Corey for these labs, and while I don't think he's a bad choice, I guess my personal interpretation/view on Hans as a brooding dark type leads me to want Jeremy to do it in the end since those are the roles Jeremy does best.
I still think Patti is a better choice than most of the "sweet and cute" true blue ingenue types with no grit or comic edge whatsoever that the masses still insist on suggesting...but the Emily Skeggs idea....THAT COULD BE INSPIRED!! I never saw Fun Home, so I can't comment on her skills at all but considering who she was playing, I can't imagine her being strictly ingenue. And I never would have thought this before as most pics I know of her are with her F.H. super short haircut, but now that I've seen pics of her with longer hair....I SUPPORT THIS!!! Crap though....I'm thinking as myopically as a casting director with that haircut thing...
