"The fact that Keke (whom I love) is supposedly making history here is to suggest that a racial change of any character in any show is a landmark event."

This is America. Of COURSE it's a landmark event.

If you go on Tumblr and search "keke palmer cinderella" you will find audio of "In my little corner" It's not that bad. Personally, I think much better than Carly's.

"It's still history..she is still the only african american woman to play her."

Even considering only the R&H version, that will come as news to Brandy, no? Please answer.

Holy #$%^

Keke should have been the one who succeed Laura Osnes, not Carly. She's almost perfect, the straining is there. But, she's fantastic!

Has there been anything on the board about the fact that NeNe Leakes will be replacing Sherri Shepherd starting November 25, and until the Jan. 3 closing? If there has been, sorry, I just missed it. It might be one hell of a Christmas season for the show.

I believe Nene was discussed in the closing thread.

Wow! So good! Is it too early to say that this is one stunt casting that went right? Also, Robyn Goodman looks so fierce in NBC segment with her dash of gray.

Was looking at pictures on instagram of Keke Palmer, et la. And I noticed that all the pictures of Marie/Fairy Godmother are of Jill Abramovitz. When did or does Victoria Clark leave, and Judy Kaye start?

Do you know what stunt casting is? Because this isn't it.

Jill is on until tomorrow when Victoria Clark leaves and Judy Kaye starts on Friday

how is this not stunt casting?

"how is this not stunt casting?"
Stunt casting refers to someone being cast in a role they're not right for in any way. See: Chicago. Star casting refers to a "name" in a role they do quite well in. See: Reba McEntire in Annie Get Your Gun.

Isn't that subjective though

"Stunt casting refers to someone being cast in a role they're not right for in any way."

Stunt casting is not defined by talent or how well someone does in a role, though. It's just the casting of a celebrity or well known actor in favor of someone from the typical acting pool, in order to gain publicity. In this context, casting Carly and Keke as Cinderella in favor of a Broadway actress.

Good stunt casting is still stunt casting.

I can't stop listening to "In my own little corner" and "ten minutes ago"!! She sounds so much better than Carly!

Wow. Keke sounds much better than not only Carly, but Brandy as well. :)

To be fair it's not very hard to sound better than Brandy :)
