im sry r u an english teacher or just an old fart who cant abbreviate things online...its sad...
reason 1)saw her in footloose, fit the role, liked it
2) saw her in urinetown fit it, liked her
3)she is not a ditz and cant play this role...she just wont fit...lbb would work better

As poorly based as those opinions are, at least they prove you have a conscious thought process.

By the way Len Cariou is not a cannibal, Alfred Molina is not a Russian peasant, and Brad Oscar is not a member of the Nazi party. Just because they play them doesn't mean that's how they are.

You would know wouldn't you, since you've obviously already seen her in the role. Please give a review for all of us living in the present. We're DYING to know your opinion...

Very good. Thank you for backing up your meaningless posts with some experiences. I hope this was a good learning session.

[NYCbabe3789]

I feel the same way wickedfan330, Wicked was torture enough when they performed for an audience. I'd hate to have to see it in rehearsal.

seeing the show august 5th so i'll make my own assumptions about her when i see her

Posted: 6/13/04 at 6:18pm

i guess itd be too much to point out that a chopped up rehearsal is not a good indicator of a final product, huh?

[Sumofallthings]

Posted: 6/13/04 at 6:19pm

Look out Mistress, you might tempt wickedfan330 to come back and attempt a post!

"y do u care? and no problem sum of all things...hope u enjoyed reading it---too bad u werent there bye"

Why do you care? And no problem, sumofallthings. Hope you enjoyed reading it. Too bad you weren't there. *expression of sadness* Bye.

oh yeah... JLT really sucks...she's only done a few bway shows...regional theater...tony noms but my god she is SO bad.
Im thrilled for her... there is obviously a valid reason why LBB was hired and then had someone else take over.

I think JLT is a GREAT choice to replace Kristin.

Vocally, she's just right, and her comic timing is terrific. She was hysterical in URINETOWN.

I think the producers/director made the right choice by not having Laura Bell Bundy take over. She's funny and all that, but vocally, she just doesn't cut it.

I'm not even going to START comparing Jennifer to the previous mentioned Galindas. Granted, I've yet to see her in the role, but having seen her in many things, I can assure you she can play the ditz.


Did you ACTUALLY see Urinetown? Hope is quite the flake. I don't know if you were sitting in the same theatre I was.

I also saw her in Pardon My English and she was delightful. She can be ditzy, but still manages to convey enough spunk and goofiness to keep it fresh and interesting. She is little and cute... I say, throw a blonde wig on her and she's PERFECT for Galinda.

Not to mention her voice is so rich and soothing. Her upper range is every bit as glorious as her lower and she has such fluidity. Her voice is much easier on the ears than Kristin's and she can sing circles around Laura Bell Bundy (who's voice, in my opinion, isn't up to par for the role).
