What role do she think she should play??

I think she is the absolutely perfect choice to replace Christina in Charity. She has the perky personality for the role. She can obviously sing, and dance the part. She is very trained in Musical Theater. She is doing very good as Maria right now in The Sound Of Music. With her red hair, I think she would slightly resemble Shirley in the movie version.

I really hope the Weisslers consider her to replace Christina, she did such a great job with Roxie in their Chicago. I really think they should give Paige a try as Roxie.

What do you guys think?

If she gave Chicago a boost in ticket sales, I wouldn't be surprised if the Weisslers try to make lightning strike twice.

I agree. And the good part is - she has the talent for the part.

I'm ususally good with predicting the Weisslers. If the show stays open until Jan, when Christina leaves (which I think it will) I bet they will try to get Paige. Hopefully.

I think she would do well as Charity as well. Plus, the name draw always helps.

She may be a smidgen too old, but I've been secretly dreaming that Sarah Jessica Parker would play Charity. I think she'd nail the part.

As for Paige, I love her, and she'd be great, but I don't think she could give the Box Office afloat.

Well. Sarah is actually older than Paige. But I can see her as Charity too, but I can see Paige more in the role.

Paige gave Chicago a HUGE boost last summer, I remember it hitting like 99% attendance.

Hey, i'd love to see it happen, but Chicago is an established hit and Charity is not.

I think Nickie and Helene should have a couple years on Charity. Like with Janine and Kyra, they have an older look than Christina. I think thats what they wanted - because Natascia and Solange were young!

I've seen Christine dance and heard her sing and I have ZERO desire to see that show. But put Paige in there and I'd go in a heartbeat. She's a dancer and that's a dancer's role. It would really be great!

Well I don't really consider it a dancer's role. Yes Charity dances 3 or 4 times in the show. ButI consider the Charity in this revival a role for a fabulous comedic actress, not a dancer.

Paige would definetly be great though, she has it all.

She could sing the names of the phonebook, and I'd be cool with it.

Not a dancer's role? Be careful! You're going to have Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon's ghosts coming after you!

Someone suggested this awhile ago, but Sarah JP would be a PERFECT Roxie Hart. Cute, doesn't need to have a killer voice and she has WONDERFUL presence.

I agree SJP = amazing choice for Roxie. I would love to see that.

I would love to see her in anything! I love her. When I went to NYC last summer, I wasn't planning on seeing Chicago. When I heard she was in it, I bought my tickets right away. They definetly made a $200 off me that they wouldn't have made before.

i'd love to see Paige Davis do it , but i'm nto to sure about SJP i think she would turn Charity into a dumb floozy instead of someone severally getting burnned by the candle of love.
