Mueller should be playing supporting roles.
Her voice is wonderful but she ain't pretty and mugs.
I bet she sounds great doing Gershwin, bring back radio.
Not to direct anger at you, CPD, but I've heard a few people say that about her attractiveness and I'm sorry but I just don't get it at all. This rant is not in any way meant to target you but I'm so frustrated by reading that kind of comment! If she's not pretty, I'd hate to see what you'd say about the truly unattractive people in this world. Mueller may not be "Disney Princess Pretty" like, say, Laura Osnes or Kelli O'Hara, but I think she's beautiful. She reminds me of the glamorous starlets of the Jazz Age, where being pretty also meant being interesting to look at, not just looking like a million other girls. Sorry, I'll get off the soap box and yes, I'm "biased", but I didn't become a fan of hers for no reason. I do pride myself on my taste. And yeah, I just attached that photo on here 'cause I think it's gorgeous. Credit to Monica Simoes for the shot.
What I came her to post though is that they've finally replaced Kelli's production shots at the theatre with Jessie's, in case anyone is interested. Try not to be blinded by her hideous face

Enjoy!
The pix you put IN your post makes her look stunning.
And since when does one have to be textbook pretty to be a lead? Ethel Merman never had any problem, and, at best, she was "handsome".

Wow, can't believe someone who appreciates the artists of Broadway would thinks that Jessie "ain't pretty!" As I said in my previous post, the girl is damn versatile: vocally, visually, and emotionally. Jessie is a striking beauty with a face that can allow her to play all kinds of roles, from back-alley tomboy to Ceylonese ingenue. A beautiful girl inside and out. I am excited to have been introduced to her talent because I know she will be working nonstop, treating audiences to her incredible gift!
Nice to see the new productions shots. Thanks for posting. I think comments about someone's looks are not appropriate. Looks have nothing to do with talent and as someone said, some of the greats of theater are not remembered for their looks. I happen to think that Jessie is pretty and she is certainly talented without question. I think taking this role will propel her to the next level.
I think she is bland, boring and overrated. And kind of cross eyed.
Other than that.. she is pretty.

"I think she is bland, boring and overrated"
Totally agreed.
She is gorgeous and ridiculously talented. I can't wait to see what she does next!
I can tell you what she'll do next. Something bland boring and overated.
"I can tell you what she'll do next. Something bland boring and overrated."
She's very flattered by your inability to stop thinking about her, even if they're negative thoughts.
I agree with Henry, she's a gorgeous lady and there are only big things on the horizon for her. Haters can hate, but I have a feeling you'll have many, many more threads to whine about her success on in the future.
I've never gotten to see Jessie live but I have a thought. It's one thing to not like her as a performer, but to take a dig at her appearance is beyond low. How those posts aren't deleted are beyond me.
While I agree that those kind of comments are not necessary, free speech is free speech.
Well, if you'd like to look at her beautiful face some more, they've put up the rest of her production shots on the front of the theatre now!
Take a peek:

Annnd here are the official production shots. She looks beautiful, I can't wait until I have time to make a return visit to Nice Work so I can see her light up the stage again.
