Personally I prefer Lauren Kennedy. I never saw Sara Ramirez but I have the obcr, her voice is beautiful no doubt but there is just something about Lauren Kennedy's voice it's so beautiful and so powerful. I just thought she was perfect for the lady of the lake, but again my opinion is bias seeing as how I only saw Lauren and not sara and I got a picture with Lauren and she told me my hair was pretty hehe so again I'm biased.

Here's the new press shot from outside the theater.

I like her a lot more than Sara, but I'm miles away from objective. She really impressed me, though.

yea sara's voice is soo strong, I really want to hear lauren kennedy's vocals

Wait-A gorgeous woman with actual talent? I'm so confused!

I'm not going to pass judgement, I'm sure the woman is a hard worker but I think it's idiotic for Orfeh to not have this role as we speak and a great many people agree with me over on ATC.

Here's he post that started it edited for length:

So I caught the new cast members of Spamalot...
Now comes the part I dread....Lauren Kennedy. Granted she had HUGE shoes to fill replacing Sara Ramirez. The whole time I kept thinking "She is totally, amazingly miscast in this role." She's good, but not for The Lady Of The Lake. Why did they cast an ingenue for a character role???

Her singing is fine, but her comedy is really flat. She's playing the comedy and everyone else around her is playing the scene. Her "Diva's Lament" was anything but a diva. They did such a great job with Alan Tudyk and Simon Russell Beale, I guess they had to screw up a little bit with at least one role.

Please bring Ofreh, Amy Spanger, Ramona Keller, or ANYONE else into the show!!! Get a character actress in there who can belt to the rafters, and who can land a joke. Is that so hard???? :)


If you want to read the rest (it's a long thread), go to ATC.

I don't know about it having to be a black girl, but it shouldn't be a milquetoast "ingenue", it should be a diva like Orfeh who can sing most girls, black or white, under the table and has the comic chops that easily rival Sara Ramirezes'.

I saw her last night, and she was AMAZING! She is just as good if not better than Sara.

She looks X.

Lauren is a 1994 college graduate, thats all I know in terms of age.
