If you can, catch this brilliant performance before she exits. Truly, one of the greatest I've seen.

Anyone know why? I thought she would have at least stayed until Jan 1, which was the date Piazza was first extended till.

Maybe she's just plain exhausted.

There was a rumour about a Tony nominee from this past season as "Babe" Williams. Now she's leaving Piazza. It exactly fits for Pajama rehearsals.....

Hmmm...That would add a weird level to the show if she and Connick Jr played lovers. Plus, Babe really isn't much of a soprano role.

I love her, but.... for PJ Game, which is, from a few reliable sources, what she's leaving Piazza for...she is wrong in EVERY way.

too young (esp. opposite Connick), vocally wrong, and honestly...too slight. Babe needs to be a STRONG woman. Does anyone REALLY buy that Kelli O'Hara is the tough woman who is leading the grievance committee, who would confront male management in the 50's? We need emily Skinner, Marin Mazzie, someone TOUGH looking.

I would love to see Kristy Kates(sp) replace her. I saw her go on for Elphaba, and wondered why a beautiful legit voice was being taxed and wasted in a role just not well suited for it. Her voice would soar in Piazza!

Perhaps her understudy will take the role?

I might be shot for this.

I would love to see Sarah tackle the role.

I actually saw Sarah do Anne in Night Music @ the Kennedy Center, and she could definately pull it off...but she is so good where she is...

I would die if Celia came back, but I don't think that is going to happen....you never know though...lol

And I agree that Sarah is perfect where she is it...you can't get a better Franca than that, although I did love Laura Griffith's performance of her...
