re: Laura Benanti to return to SINGER October 3rd!

I will be there on the 3rd. I'm anxious to see Laura Benanti's take on the role. After seeing the show twice, both times with Tina Maddigan, it's hard to picture someone else in the role. Judging purely by the cast recording and the photos I've seen, Tina seems to fit the role better vocally and physically. But who knows... Perhaps Laura will change my mind completely!

re: Laura Benanti to return to SINGER October 3rd!

As will I!

And I second the welcome back!

l love you without knowing how... or when... or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride.
I love you because I know no other way than this.

What a TRIUMPHANT return!

Laura was having so much fun on stage. I felt tonight what I knew was missing the last time I saw it.

The whole cast seemed to be having a blast. Steven was out but Kevin Kern was a wonderful replacement.

I just can't get over how seamlessly Laura sank back into the role after being out for over a month. She was having a blast. Throwing in some ad-libs. It was such a great night.

Plus...I caught the bouquet.

WELCOME BACK, LAURA!

Maybe she got some inspiration from Tina Maddigan's take on the role. I'm just sayin'...

Phantom2, shut the hell up. Seriously. You're an extremely disturbed individual.

lets not get into any fights again.

LAURA DID GREAT TONIGHT! and tina did great filling in for laura! its just an AMAZING cast. period!

re: Laura Benanti to return to SINGER October 3rd!

What did Phantom say that was so derogatory? We all know he prefers Tina, but I didn't see anything in his statement that was negative about Laura.

re: Laura Benanti to return to SINGER October 3rd!

yes, everyone has their own preferences. phantom loves tina and i love laura! lol. everyone has their own opinion!

how was the benanti/kern chemistry. i know i just asked that on the wedding singer thread but maybe some people are posting here that dont post there.

re: Laura Benanti to return to SINGER October 3rd!

I think what iLuv was referring to is the fact that Phantom just will. Not. Shut. Up. About how awsome Tina is.

And I have too agree. Reguardless of how I feel about either performer. It was cute and kinda sweet at first to support someone you like, but now it's just annoying as hell. Are you physically capeable of talking about ANYTHING else?

Great chemistry.

I felt it a little more when she was with Steven.

But, with Kevin and Laura never having worked together, it was right on. Just a testament to Laura's greatness.

DrunkyMcWasted- Obviously, with a screen name like that, you're a fan of The Wedding Singer. Well, I'm a fan of Tina Maddigan, just like you're a fan of Laura Benanti. Deal with it.

Tina always had a fresh take on the role. She was amazing to watch, especially all the bloopers. Why wouldn't I miss such a great actress?

re: Laura Benanti to return to SINGER October 3rd!

yay! laura is pretty damn great! im soo glad to hear such good reviews! this is getting me even more psyched to see the show again (which i didnt even know was possible)
#171

re: Laura Benanti to return to SINGER October 3rd!

There's a difference.

Laura fans are classy. They don't purposely go into threads supporting an actress' return to their role in a Broadway show and post about how their favorite actress was better.

Apparently Tina fans do.

I'm so happy Laura's first night back went well, even though I knew it would!!

Here's hoping she and the rest of the cast stay well health-wise and continue to have fun onstage!

re: Laura Benanti to return to SINGER October 3rd!

Tonight was really amazing - I was so glad to see her having so much fun and to see her back in the role - she just does so many special things that I miss when she's not there.

Welcome back Laura! It was great!

*side note* - Kevin Kern is a HOTTIE, wow. And amazingly talented, to boot! I was all about him and Laura together. Adorable. And they just took to each other so well even though it was their first time on together!
Now what would you say if today I started over? Without a thing but this taped together four leaf clover And I'll pretend like everything is already alright And I'll run toward the sun till the castle's out of sight

Last I heard from Richard Blake, he said he would be leaving around mid December or something.

Kevin Kern is a swing in TWS. I am so sad I missed his first time on with Laura.

Between this and Kitty, the poor man is probably exhausted.
And just as a reminder, Richard Blake is out this Saturday for anyone that wants to catch Matt Stocke as Glen.
