Has anyone heard anything about what Laura's plans might be, after she leaves South Pacific in August?

Laura will more than likely doing the pre-Broadway try-out of Frank Wildhorn's "Bonnie & Clyde" the musical as Bonnie. She did the role at La Jolla last fall.

Sarasota's Asolo Theatre (where Tale of Two Cities tried out), November - December! No announcement yet, however!

Wasn't there just a nationwide casting call for two unknowns to star in the next production of BONNIE & CLYDE?

Yes, but last I heard the plans were thrown away and Laura was re-offered the role. I have heard nothing of the actual nationwide casting call anymore since the original announcement (in which they said it was supposed to occur in April). Perhaps I'm wrong, but I believe Laura plans to join the cast.

They were searching for a "Young Clyde," but in the Florida area. I believe whoever wasn't happy with Frank's WONDERLAND production in which apparently the absolute bare minimum of actual Floridians/locals were used (I think it was only one or two).

I personally loved Laura as Bonnie in La Jolla. I think she's an extremely talented performer and would love to see her originate in a new musical. Fingers crossed.

With Daniel Radcliffe in "How to Succeed"!! They would be soooo adorable.

sopranobiz,

Is this something you have heard or is it wishful musing?

Haven't heard anything. Just wishful thinking. I'm sure they won't start casting this until the fall. I bet Laura is a top choice for Rosemary!

According to broadway.com, Rose Hemingway is playing Rosemary.

I overheard Osnes in Bryant Park today telling someone that she was heading to Sarasota in the fall to do BONNIE AND CLYDE, with an impending Broadway move this coming spring.

Thank you ^^. I've heard more people than not say she will be doing Bonnie.

She got great reviews, the show got mostly good reviews, and is apparently very serious about getting to Broadway.

I really hope she does do Bonnie and Clyde. I saw it at La Jolla and she is incredible. She is my favorite actress. I wish I could fly out to florida to see it.
