Abbreviating the word "definitely" does not warrant an extra "f."

No I disagree. She is leagues above the material in terms of her talent. Someone needs to write a part for her.

The role was written around Karen Mason's talents, and the song "Off with their Heads!" was written specially for her.... Mason is terrific in the role (and received the best notices of the cast.

Jackie actually made fun of the show on her final Broadway.com blog entry.

And 'casted' is not a word.

Either she's been cast in a role, or she hasn't.

If you want to get technical, the role was original written for a black gospel singer. Karen Mason did enough in her initial audition to get Frank Wildhorn to collaborate with her on the development of The Queen of Hearts into the cabaret/Broadway pastiche character she has become. Jackie Hoffman could do something fun with the role, but the role wouldn't exist in this form if Karen Mason didn't get Wildhorn to change his mind.

When I saw the show in TPA, Karen Mason was the only part of the show that held my attention. She's fabulous.

Well, at least it's a bigger part than Grandma.

I adore Jackie Hoffman, and would hate to see her in the well-lit toilet that is Wonderland.

Jackie deserves something better than Wonderland.

If I had to give her a new role for the season, she might've been interesting as Miss Jones in How to Succeed.

After having seen her video blog and her show at Joe's Pub though, I think Jackie Hoffman's greatest role may be Jackie Hoffman. She's amazing.

to be fair, making the queen of hearts what it is and not just another sour kangaroo was a good idea.

To be fair, Wonderland is an abomination of Lewis Carroll's work and Jackie Hoffman would sooner retire before she would do this awful piece of sh!t.
