Posted: 6/30/03 at 4:39pmshe was in "whorehouse" correct? Does she sing really well?
Possible Pennies.#26
Posted: 6/30/03 at 4:39pmThere are a few people I think who would be great as Penny. Sarah Litzinger, who used to be Belle in BATB has an awesome voice. She could be really good. By the way everyone, I am now a Featured Actor!
Blonde or Brunette?#27
Posted: 6/30/03 at 4:41pmIs Tracy Jai Edwards a blonde or brunette? And Barbara Walsh is a brunette. If they are both Brunettes, they'll both wear wigs, no? Linda Hart did!

Posted: 6/30/03 at 4:41pmI have heard good things about Tracy Edwards. Nothing bad so far.

I think that even if they were blondes, they'd wear wigs. You've seen the show, right? No human has enough hair, regardless of color, to do that hair design nightly. (Bundy is blonde, and Hart is brunette in the real world, right?)
So anyway...
I need a recap. With all these casting announcements...
Who is presently GONE from the OBC at the moment? My best friend is seeing HAIRSPRAY this weekend and I'd like to fill her in. Have Corey Reynolds, Linda Hart and Laura Bell Bundy left already?
HELP! Much appreciated.

as far as hair/wig color, Alli was a blonde who wore a brown wig.
Currently gone from the original cast are Josh Bergasse (swing), John Hill (Fender), Sabrina Scherff (swing).

Amber,Seaweed,Little Inez,Velma,Penny are all leaving on July 13. Katy Grenfell is leaving. Greg Graham is leaving in August and being replaced by Rusty Mowery. That's all I heard on Sunday.

Posted: 6/30/03 at 5:39pmKerry leaving isn't finalized. She hasn't official signed for Little Shop yet. If she does leave, it will most likely be when the others do.

Posted: 6/30/03 at 5:48pmI kinda surprised to see so many cast members in Hairspray leaving so soon without renewing...

Posted: 6/30/03 at 5:51pmThey have been involved in the full scale production for a year and a half (rehearsals began late April-early May last year). besides, most of them have been with the show from the first reading. that is a long time.

Aja Maria Johnson is the new Inez.
I love the fact that she is from NorthEast Baltimore -- just like the character!
cast leavings and also John Hill#38
Posted: 6/30/03 at 7:17pm
Just because some actors are leaving on July 13th doesn't mean they all (the ones reported leaving) would exit on that date...
And John Hill has NOT left the cast yet - and will not until mid July...

John extended? that is good. What is his last day now?
I said likely -- not Will -- just to clarify.
so far, leaving on the 13th are Linda, Corey, Laura Bell, and Danielle.
