With all the rumors of Ripley doing the tour and Damiano leaving for Spider-man, who would we like to see take on the role of Natalie??
would hate to see Allie Trimm do it.
as much as i would love to see meghann fahy take over the role, i would like to see someone different.
Whoever it is better have a young fanbase. Everyone knows the youngsters are the backbone of Next to Normals financial stability.

Can Allie Trimm hit those notes? Plus I don't know if she could take on the role acting wise. I was not impressed with her in Bye Bye Birdie.
Young fanbase supporting the show!!

Not only is Trimm too young to do it as far as age is concerned, she also looks way too young.
I have a friend that would be great. She would be making her Broadway debut, but she was invited to audition for Spring Awakening by Telsey & Co.
Meghann Fahy is taking over the role of Natalie in the fall.
And she deserves it. She's outstanding.

Another random option for Natalie could be Krystina Alabado from the Spring Awakening Tour. She might not be well-known but she has a wonderful voice that could definitely carry the part!
I hated Krystina Alabado during the Spring Awakening tour. I don't think she would do the part justice and I doubt her voice is powerful enough.
There is a performer here in Toronto that is eerily perfect for that role, named Sara Farb. I dare you to watch this video and not hear Natalie singing it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y1vteedhj4

Kristina was Wendla for us one matinee in Sacramento and she was awful. She has this crazy lack of a vibrato and this uber thin voice, both of which were horribly distracting. I would hate to see her as Natalie.
What a coincidence! Julia Murney's Nuvaring commercial just popped up on the boob tube. Nuvaring knows I want her to be Diana.
Telsey and co doesn't invite anyone to audition for spring awakening because Jim Carnahan casts it....
What about Alexandra Socha? I think she could play Natalie.

"Telsey and co doesn't invite anyone to audition for spring awakening because Jim Carnahan casts it...."
hmmm... well i don't think wickedfan is lying per se.
Alexandra Socha could be good like Tom1071 said. But I feel like looks too young, and cute to take on Natalie. I love Alex, and she has some beautiful pipes but I don't see her as Natalie.
Krysta Rodriguez would be an amazing Natalie, slmlbl. I doubt she'd leave Addams so early just for another show though. But she would rock that role!!!!
How about Kayla Foster from Spring Awakening Tour?! She kinda sounds like Jen, and has that deeper tone which is beautiful for Natalie. I'd love to see as Natalie. Anyone else?

Oh wow I hated Alexandra Socha when I saw her in Spring Awakening. Her voice irritated me so much, it ruined the show. I would be so upset if she joined my favorite show.
Krysta would be great in the role, but she is one of the main reasons for me to go back to TAF. She's so good! No wonder she's been booking show after show.
