Miss Chung - they are talking physicality not mentality.

I read this, at first, as Sharon Osbourne. Now that is someone I want to see on Broadway. Maybe with Minnie?

This actually may work.

Don't it make you feel all warm and fuzzy to know Broadway is now the catch basin for washed up celebrity has-beens and American Idol rejects? Bravo

Well, Chicago has been like that for a while.

And really, how bad can she be? *knock on wood* It's Mama Morton, not Mama Rose.

I'm still waiting for Sanjaya to take on Rent.

Well, as I said, I think she's got a great voice. However, the only material I have to judge her acting skills by is her former role on "Life as We Know It." Let's hope that isn't reflective of her stage skills

Zoran-


Not a rumor. Her mother said it live on Letterman the other night!

[Flaunt It]

Wasn't her mother the one that started the HAIRSPRAY rumor a few years back?

[BSoBW2]

Posted: 7/28/07 at 12:01am

Ooh, now I want to see Sharon as Mama Rose.

And she can still bring Minnie along! Hallelooo!

I wonder what stunt casting would actually piss us off enough to protest? Sounds like another thread topic.

Posted: 7/28/07 at 12:27am

Why would she be in rehearsal now...........July........for a December opening...........5 months rehearsal.....that doesn't make any sense.

[evadiva]

Posted: 7/28/07 at 12:30am

She had and okay and a very good presence to her. I personally enjoy her second album A LOT. Let's hope she can act.

Posted: 7/28/07 at 11:38am

Gawd almighty. You'd have to pay me...

[BrianIdol]

Posted: 7/28/07 at 2:32pm

yes I would love to have a formal protest against stunt casting. Specificallly in Chicago.

Just OK?
Donna Marie is a true Broadway Triple Threat. I saw her years ago as one of the CellBlock girls, and have not had the privilege of seeing her go on as Velma, but I will tell you this: If she was one tenth the Velma as she was as a Cell Block Girl, she is definitely a force to be reckoned with. It is truly condescending to say she hasn't gone further than she has because of a lack of talent. Her Playbill Bio mentions she is a wife and mother...perhaps the sacrifices she's made for her family have prevented her from moving forward. Broadway is lucky to have such a talented professional. To make a sniping remark like yours is just stupid. Are you a theatre professional? Do you have any idea what it takes to make it on Broadway?
As far as the Stunt Casting is concerned, if the majority of the theatre going public just went for a great piece of work presented brilliantly, they wouldn't have to resort to the odd 'name' to get asses in the seats. Broadway is a very different animal than it was in years past, and Producers have to resort to whatever tactics they can to keep a show running. The fact that this revival has run as long as it has, owes a lot to the 'stunt casting'. The fact that the integrity of the show is still pristine is due to the people in the ensemble...and all the 'non names' who bang it out 8 times a week. Broadway is about 'heart'. And this show is overflowing with it.

God bless Donna Marie...and all those Broadway performers who are just like her.

Yes, I am a theatre professional... but I don't think that makes my opinion count any more or less than anyone else's. Apparently you do.

[Center Orchestra]

Posted: 7/28/07 at 8:09pm

It makes all the difference in the world. I don't believe for a second that you're a theatre professional. Donna Marie is one of the most well-respected actresses on Broadway. What do you do? Sell T-Shirts?

No I do not sell T-Shirts. Any other guesses?

Please let me know where I said she was not well respected? I believe I sad she was a "solid" Velma... WOW.. I am a BASTARD!

i'm echoing Flaunt It's message above. Didn't Sharon start a similar Hairspray rumor a couple years ago? I hope it's rumor....oy.
