Hm. Never thought of her.
But I like it now that I hear it (:

Hmm, she could be really good. My only complaint is she looks more "womanly" than the other cast members in the Bee, but they can make her look like a little girl i guess.

Sorry, I saw the other thread must have been posted when I was writing this one.

It was posted a minute before this one.
I think this is GREAT casting! Jessica- Snow Wilson will be a wonderful Olive. Two such great pieces of casting news
What insight you have, newsieboy!
I think she'll be perfect for the role.

I think she'll be great!
I think Jessica's great, but doesn't she seem a tad more older-looking than the rest of the cast? I bet she'll be able to pull it off well though so I won't judge.
I think she'll do fine.
A better picture. She looks older in the Broadway.com one.

I love Jessica-Snow Wilson! This is so exciting!
She can read very young on stage, IMO.

Ha. They are like trading roles (except Jessica isn't playing Eponine now). Funny coincidence.
I saw the understudy a couple of months ago and she was so wonderful - too bad they aren't bumping her up.
If you saw Sarah Styles, she's already taken. She's playing Olive on the tour (lucky them, I loved her!).
Shoot - I don't remember who I saw. I hope that's her though! She should be playing it. She was my favorite, other than the Barfee.
I have a friend who does animated voices in LA, and the whole time I was sitting through BEE I was thinking she'd be a perfect Olive. I emailed her and she responded that everyone she knows who has seen it has told her that. She needs to get in.
You probably saw Kate Wetherhead, she goes on the most.

Aww, I love her! She was Eponine the very first time I saw Les Mis...good times. I think she'll be a fantastic Olive.
I saw her as Eponine several times in 2003; didn't really care for her, but I think she'll make a good Olive.
Kate Wetherhead has been the u/s for most of the broadway run. she took two months off this past march to do Anna in Sarah, Plain and Tall. Sarah Stiles was the Olive and Logainne cover during that time, and is now playing Logainne on tour. Kate is AMAZING in everything (as is Sarah).
