Favorite Replacement- Page 2

Carolee Carmello in Urinetown- she should have been the original Miss Pennywise if you ask me.
Tom Cavanagh in Urinetown- while he wasn't as good as hunter, I thoroughly enjoyed his performance and I really didn't think I would.
Jennifer Laura Thompson in Wicked- absolutely wonderful
Brent Barrett in Chicago- the man is stunning in every way
Charlotte d'Amboise in Chicago- she will always be my Roxie
Ruthie Henshall in Chicago- she will always be my Velma
Danny Gurwin in The Full Monty- Just fantastic. I loved him so much in that show.



But- Amy Spanger in Urinetown!?!? I can't even fathom how people thought she was good. Her voice sounded awful, she played Hope like she was a sk@nk. Of all the Urinetown replacements she may have been the worst.

Right you are Erna, right you are.


Jen in Wicked was a peice of magic. Nothing in the world would have made me go see that smoking pile of dung again, except her being in it. Thanks Jen.

Props to overthemoon... I was WAITING for someone to bring up Terrence Mann! He was freakin amazing! Jason Wooten made a great eddie/dr. scott too. Pissed that I missed Raul and Tom though... PS: Damn Sebastian Bach to hell... may he never be on Broadway again.

Honorable Mention: Brad Oscar-The Producers

I enjoyed Rex Smith and Rachel York in THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL more than their predecessors. I will second Vanessa Williams in SPIDERWOMAN--but add Brian Stokes Mitchell in SPIDERWOMAN to the list.
