any say if tina will go on this wedesday?
Until they announce Laura Benanti's replacement, Tina Maddigan is going on as Julia. Laura says she's going to be out for a month or two.

Wait... seriously?
Yep. The Wedding Singer cast has been told that Laura is taking an "indefinite sick leave of absence" to get well, but Laura's told her close friends (as well as announced on her official website) she'll only be out for 4 - 6 weeks.
I'm very happy Hilary Duff turned down Wedding Singer. She's way too young to be playing Julia opposite Stephen Lynch.
Good thing the producers were smart enough to have such a capable standby as Tina. The role should be hers.

Scandal!
The BWW News Desk is calling Tina an "understudy" instead of standby, phantycakes!

I wrote to them. They fixed it. It was probably your fault, nomdeplume. I blame you!

Yeah, I say they fixed it because of my "scandal" post, not your writing to them!
When Phantom2 talks people listen!

Haha.
Did they give you the runs?
We'd just leave them for the birds.
Please get back to the Tina song. Thanks.

Poor thing.
Sorry you brought it up.

The Tina song is finished, by the way.
That was all the lyrics, redone, to the song.
Just for you.
Now go sing it to her!
Tina is my Mimi.

Isn't this charming?
By the shore for her days off...

It would seem, Phantom2, that you have some celebration in order.

Here is a Haiku for Tina...
Tina, what a gal.
I say, the best Julia.
Please stay forever.

there was a young tina named maddigan
who some worried never'd be rad again
she sang and she raved
('twas what the boy craved)
now phanty'll never be bad
amen!
why don't they just give her the damn role and please all the fans of the girl with the golden hair?!?
it would solve many problems.
and what replacement would honestly be better than her? I think she's better than Benanti anyway!
