If it was Kathy Griffin, her eyebrows would be at the crown of her scalp.

Agree with Streisand, though I really see more of Fanny Brice herself.

I was thinkin lesbian love-child of Cate Blanchett and Babs.

I see Blossom's Mayim Bialik and a little bit of Babs.

I hope for the love of all that is decent that that actress never sees these boards. That, or the photo is a stock photo from an old Wendy's campaign and the woman is all grown up.

I was wondering why she made me want a Frosty.

Oh Bettyboy, if the actress in the pix can't handle our criticism on BWW, she has no business in the biz. It's not like she's never heard that she looks like Babs before. If I had to hear about how much I look like Mango....

Wow... not a flattering wig. The actress's name is named Piper Goodeve, and I can personally attest that she's fierce. And much better looking that than eerie green publicity photo!
Now you can commence making fun of the name "Piper Goodeve". Don't worry, she's heard it all.

By the way, I didn't know Gretchen Cryer and Nancy Ford wrote that American Girls show. Thanks, TheaterWorks marketers!

i debated getting a ticket to this and then i saw this HORRID picture and i thought: "so THAT'S why the tickets are so cheap"

She does look like a Wendy's frosty too! Damn! Now I want one.

I never notice the ads on the site, but now I do because this one just really jumps out at me.

She does look like Kathy, aw, I loved the series with Megan Follows and Colleen Dewhurst.

I was among the first to make fun of this ad and even followed the link to find out the names of the cast.

Given everything else that has been said since this ad first appeared I would like to say that I have never made fun of the actual actress involved. (The Yentl comment was more a tribute than anything else.) She's very beautiful and has a striking look to her that will probably serve her well in future endeavors. She and the rest of the cast look ultra-professional. It is the ad itself that looks funny. It would never even occur to me to make fun of the name Piper Goodeve. I'm sorry if she's "heard it all", but all of my humor regarding the ad was based on the physical look of the ad itself.

That being said, Erick Devine is a hottie.

You know Kathy would do it in a heartbeat if you met her quote.

Funny for some reason, I thought of Carrot Top.
