That's REALLY scary . . . I was just signing onto BWW right now to randomly post how fierce I'd think Leah would be as Donna, and lo and behold, she IS!!!!

BSoBW2, I'm with you. I never thought I'd want to see Mamma Mia but now I have a reason to go. But I'm gonna really miss her in Hairspray.

As far as a Velma replacement, I would assume it will probably be the Velma from the tour. But I don't know that for sure.

OK, I have to see Leah in Hairspray!

And then in Mamma Mia.

Leah = Love.

Maybe they will bump Liz Larsen up to full time? Although she said at the Chatterbox that Harvey didnt think she was right for the role.

I like that idea. Who said Harvey was the casting agent? :-P

Threadjack, but I read somewhere that Jenn Gambatese was the Sophie in the picture on the Mamma Mia London recording. Is this true?

Liz ROCKS as the female authority figure. i wish she could do that. LOVED HER!
