now that Vanya is closed ... what are some roles you can see Miss Nielsen playing in the future ?? I hope she becomes more of a Broadway mainstay like Judith Light has been recently or someone like Cherry Jones. she's so lovely but tends to do more Off-broadway stuff. and unlike those other actresses Kristine is strictly a theatre actress and rarely does film/tv roles which makes me love her even more.

Or we could hope that she continues to do beautiful, complex, fascinating work where ever she damn well pleases. I'd go see her shop for groceries.

"I'd go see her shop for groceries."

I believe that's what the kids these days would call "stalking"

I call it "appreciating fvcking artistry."

During the rounds of press for the Tony nominations this year, Nielsen cited her dream role as Dolly Levi in THE MATCHMAKER (she said the limitations of her singing prevent her from being able to do Dolly in HELLO, DOLLY!)

I'd love to see that happen.

Agreed. Would see her in anything.
She stole the Vanya show!

I will see anything Kristine Nielsen is in!!! She is a brilliant actress and I hope she continues to delight us for years to come!

Nielsen was undoubtedly one of the highlights of this past season. I have no doubt that she will be working a lot, and thank goodness.

That's so funny, Somethingwicked as Dolly in The Matchmaker was the first role I thought of for this thread.

Other than that, I can see her doing so many roles brilliantly (given they were demographically appropriate), it might be easier to make a list of roles I can't see her succeeding in.

It would be extremely interesting for a Roundabout (or similar company) to do "The Matchmaker." Apparently the last Broadway protuction was in 1955. Though, knowing Roundabout, we'd get it with Susan Lucci.
