Poor Laura...this is her what, third time?
How to properly use its/it's:
Its is the possessive. It's is the contraction for it is...

Posted: 8/13/06 at 10:07pmI'm happy to see this. I loved Tina both times. It's nice that Laura has time to get better and not worry about her health and the show at the same time.

Posted: 8/13/06 at 10:16pmTina might get some exposure from the media for taking over for the six weeks.

Posted: 8/13/06 at 10:19pmNow if only Steve Lynch would decide he wants to take a long lovely cruise to the Caribbean or Alaska or someplace and I could hear Matthew Morrison sing the score. That would be astounding. They'd make a kinda cute pair. Like duckends.

I wish Laura well and from what I hear and know, Tina has it under control 
Methinks if they are thinking 6 monyhs ahead, they feel the show will be steady enough to not think about closing?

Posted: 8/13/06 at 10:22pmPeople, Tina's been on for the past month. This "announcement" is just a formality. Sadly, if the grosses keep tanking, Tina will finish out the show.

Posted: 8/13/06 at 10:23pmThe show is in great shape and Tina did get some awesome reviews when she opened in Mamma Mia! Bring the critics on back!

Posted: 8/13/06 at 10:24pmWell the article did say they are looking for a celebrity, so hopefully it will not be closing as soon as we think it will.

Hmmm.
Should the critics come back now or in the first week of September when everyone's back after Labor Day?

Six WEEKS, not months.
nom, Stephen's going to be on vacation that week.

Posted: 8/13/06 at 10:27pmNow will they finally get Tina a new wedding dress? She's earned it!

Posted: 8/13/06 at 10:27pmLOL Well, they can come back the first week in September if they want... but they won't be seeing Lynch. Kevin Kern will be Robbie that week. :p

Posted: 8/13/06 at 10:27pmJust hire Rebecca Luker and be done with it. She and Laura are the tag team, as everyone knows.

Posted: 8/13/06 at 10:28pmDo you think they're going to leave the understudy board up for 4-6 weeks or change the playbill around?

Ummm... Kevin Kern DOES have a really great voice. Have you even heard him sing?
#22re: Laura Benanti on Medical Leave, Tina Maddigan to fill in.
Posted: 8/13/06 at 10:33pmI wish Benanti the best. Sadly, I think this is going to really affect her future career on Broadway. The insurance premium for a future production starring Benanti is now going to be astronomical.

Is Kern a better singer than Lynch?
