Hello everyone
I know this has been murmured about on the "WEDDING SINGER Appreciation Thread", but I wanted to make a more official announcement.
I just got a signed headshot and very sweet card from Laura Benanti today in the mail. Well, in her letter, she basically thanked me for my drawing and letter and such, and then mentioned returning to the show. I will quote what she said exactly in her note:
"I am sorry I missed you and your family after the show. My voice was really beginning to suffer so I was sneaking out the back to go home and rest- now I wish I hadn't! I am feeling better, and will be back in the show Oct. 3rd."
So there you have it, Laura is going to be returning to THE WEDDING SINGER on October 3rd (not this up-coming Tuesday, but the Tuesday after that)!
I can't wait till she comes back!
:)

that's okay- I'd be skeptic too
i could post pictures of her picture and letter if that would make you feel better- my camera is out of batteries now, though, so it might be like tomorrow or something...

Bree, I think bway's posted some things about Laura that have turned out to be true, so it's okay to believe her. :) I think. 
Good to hear. Also, good to hear that at least we've got a show until the 3rd. Granted, things always change and contracts don't mean anything, but every day this show lasts, I'm happier.

Bway is a him, not a her.
I'm glad to hear this!

Posted: 9/23/06 at 7:55pmLet me be more clear, I am in no way implying that Bway is lying, I just know Benanti is a huge flake. That's what I meant by "I'll believe it when I see it". My skepticism was aimed at LB.

*dances*
LAURA!!! LAURA!!!! LAURA!!!!
sorry, I had to spazz. This totally and completely consitutes me going to see WS for a third time :P
I'm SOOOOO happy she's coming back!
dont get me wrong, I adore tina and think she is tres adorable, but I NEED to see laura. Like seriously. need.
I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.

I am SO HAPPY for this. I saw Tina in the show and she was fantastic, but there's just something about Laura.
Gah, this means I need to make it back to NYC! Hell, I wish I could be there on the 3rd, but that's not going to happen...

yes, she is!
and she even wrote another paragraph (thats why there's that arrow)
she is very sweet, i really didnt expect her to be nice for some reason...
:P

Ha, I was wondering about the arrow.
Laura is a total sweetheart. No doubts about that.

haha, I love her even more for not knowing how to spell. That arrow was my favorite part of the whole letter. It makes celebrities not look like robots because we all know how perfect they are.
