Laura Osnes left south pacific...???

Hi everyone,

I went to south pacific (twice) last week and both times Laura Osnes was not listed as Nellie in the Playbill.
Has she left?

Her understudy was superb but I was looking forward to her performance!

I would really like to see her...anyone know when she will be back?

Thanks

If she was not on the Playbill and the understudy was on, who did they list as being the full time performer?

Very iffy. I blame Hunter Foster.

I also think Jen Cody has something to do with this conspiracy.

Laura got her start on TV. Reality TV even! She must be stopped.

She is on vacation.

I am one of the proud few who thinks Osnes was pretty good as Nellie, so I think her reality TV start was strictly for broadway purposes and none other

I don't think you're in the minority at all. I have heard so many glowing reviews of Laura's performance. A coworker of mine saw the show and came back praising Laura's performance.

I've seen both Laura and Kelli and I would put Laura above Kellie. I felt the age difference between Nellie and Paulo was more palpable when I saw Laura as Nellie. When Kelli played Nellie I felt they were more like equals. If they didn't mention that Emile was older through the dialogue I don't think anyone in the audience would know. But with Laura you can physically see the age difference not only through Laura's youthful appearance but I felt she turned Nellie's naivete up a notch or two. Kelli is wildly talented and I can't wait to see what comes next for her. But of the two I actually preferred Laura in the role.
