Is Laura Bell Bundy returning to ROCK OF AGES? — Page 4

Pardon my ignorance on the subject (as I'm no vocal expert), but is the role of Sherrie really THAT demanding/damaging? I mean, singing (or at times screaming) that score 8 times a week is no easy task but this thread makes it seem like it's one of the hardest roles to sing. The only song that really seems like a KILLER to sing every night would be "High Enough".

Evelyn Nesbit in Ragtime? I thought Leigh Ann Larkin was doing it. She did it in DC and I was sooo excited to see her in the role.

If its true thats funny because when I saw ROA last week, I couldn't stop thinking about how much Savannah and Leigh Ann look alike and how I would love to see Leigh Ann as Sherrie.

Do you know what role?

Larkin is playing Petra in the revival of A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC, which is why she turned down the opportunity to transfer to Broadway with RAGTIME.

She was a fantastic Evelyn Nesbit in D.C., but NIGHT MUSIC is a much bigger opportunity for her.

Sorry, I just got a little excited after reading the first few posts. I REALLY hope LBB will take over the role. I love her so much! She'll do amazing.

Seriously. Go to a Karaoke Bar and try "High Enough". Or Bon Jovi's "Wanted...Dead or Alive". Tis not an easy score to Sing my friends... & 8 shows a week?...amazing...it IS the most kickass show on Broadway! I never saw Laura Bell Bundy as Sherrie in LA. I bet she'd be great in the role on the Great Whitesnake Way...
