She's far from chubby. The girl is skinny. She's lost a good 20 pounds since she was on AI (and even then she wasn't "fat").
I can understand doubts about her acting, with the exception of West Side Story (where she was fabulous) she hasn't really done a lot of acting. But her singing? Penny is hardly a challenging role vocally. Her singing won't be a problem in this role or in Brooklyn this summer. The producers haven't stunt casted this role before so I tend to think she probably earned it in her audition.
Tracy has been a wonderful Penny and will be missed but hopefully she's on to bigger and better things as a result of this role. She wasn't going to stick around forever and now it's time to see what the new girl can do.
