So Laura Osnes is just incredible. I wondered if any of you have any ideas who she could play next? Thinking outside the box, we all know she makes a fantastic princess. So any other versatile roles you would love to see her play?

Meh she's okay. Her voice has an odd cadence to it that sometimes doesn't sit right with me. She's a better actress than singer if you ask me.

Until I saw her in Threepenny Opera this week, I had a much more narrow idea of what she could do. The girl really is good! I still remember how her reaction to finding that the kids were actually Emile's in South Pacific made the hair stand up on my arms! And I was so sorry that Bonnie and Clyde just wasn't a better show. She was the best thing in it.

I have liked her in everything I've seen her do (even "Grease"-not ashamed to say I saw it). I preferred her Nellie to O'Hara's. I would love, love, love to see her take on Gypsy Rose Lee-that is inspired casting.

She herself has said her dream role is Marian the Librarian in "The Music Man". That would be a fun one to see her do. I honestly ADORE her in anything and think she is the sweetest person. I've been fortunate enough to see her in "Grease", "South Pacific" and "Cinderella" and would love to see her in more shows. Oh, and her solo CD's are off the wall great too ;---)

Laura as Marian, with Colin Donnell as Harold Hill. I want that one day.

Or a concert version with Stephen Colbert.

If it ever makes it to Broadway, I could see her as Ana in FROZEN.

I'd love to see Laura play Maria in West Side Story.
