Did anyone see her in this? I saw her perform "Maybe this Time" on Regis and Kelly. She performed it quite well.

About 100 times! I did the show with her when she joined the B'way company. I love her to pieces. She was an amazing Sally and an even better friend.

I saw her in the audience when I saw Avenue Q last month.

She was my first Sally. I'm fuzzy on details, but I remember LOVING her, especially her version of Cabaret.

Wow, she was at my table at an party in L.A. once and she was nice. She knew some dancers from N. Carolina School of the Arts.
I only saw Jane Leeves as Sally. Wish I had seen Jennifer Jason Leigh, Natasha Richardson and Milena Govitch.

I saw her twice, and was less than impressed. I don't know, when I saw her in it, she seemed to perform the role like mini mouse or something...just too...well, annoying...i love on this board how everyone seems to "know" the people we're talking about, rather than just having seen them...quite interesting...

I was also less than impressed with Lea Thompson. She was way too cutesy, and I didn't feel like she had any sort of interaction with her fellow actors.

I have heard from many people in Cabaret that she was an incredibly nice lady, and that she adored the cast and the experience.
