I just returned from her show at Symphony Hall in Boston and I am still on a high. I knew she was talented, but I had no idea how charming, sweet, and funny she was. She chatted with the audience, told stories, and just seemed to be having a good time. After the show, in the very cold and pouring rain, I made a last minute decision to see if I could say hello and thank her at the stage door. She emerged and was incredibly gracious and sincere to everyone waiting. Signing, talking, and taking pictures with everyone there. I thanked her and told her to please get herself to Broadway! She replied and continued chatting with me. It's nice to see someone with so much talent also be so thankful and genuine with her fans.

Megan is my new #1 Broadway Diva!!!!

Welcome to the club :) I think she's just amazing all around and would love to see her in concert. Glad you had a great time!!! She has the potential to be a theatre legend!

I totally agree that she can be a theater legend. With "Smash" being done, I would think some producer is trying to find a vehicle for her. She did a great Dolly Parton medley.

I'd so love to see her as Belle in Little Me at Encores with Christian Borle.

I saw Megan in concert a few months ago at the Kennedy Center in DC and she was everything you said she is. I'll avidly follow her career from here on out.

Silly, the BABY will put all this on hold.


(But in all seriousness, thanks for sharing your enthusiasm.)

I read that she is doing a reading of "Can Can" this summer. I don't know much about the show. Any thoughts on the show?

I've only seen the movie but the role is a tour de force. I did a paper on Cole Porter so I researched the show and it was thoroughly entertaining. It was a big vehicle for Gwen Verdon and I think it could be for Megan too. The dancing was amazing and I liked the songs. If revamped it could be great.

That's exciting to hear! Maybe it will be the big break she needs to be propelled to the next level.

I saw her with the Boston Pops too and totally agree. She's a rising mega star. A good thing about Smash is that I noticed her talent and am now a fan. Can't wait for her next project, stage or TV.
