Folks, Laura Bell Bundy has had this part since AT LEAST July. And I know first hand from the casting director's mouth....
What a tangled web we weave...
We know. Do you think we are dumb?

Hah. I don't care if you put her in curls and a polka dot dress while she licks a giant lollipop.
Maddigan would never pass for a college student.
Personally, I always thought Kate Reinders would have been great in the role. But LBB is no disappointment. I'm sure she will own that stage.
"Maddigan would never pass for a college student."
But Richard H. Blake could?
oh phantom....
Sorry if you think that Tina's over the hill, but I don't.
Phantom2 every female role that is ever discussed you always bring up Tina. I understand you like her but, she cannot do ever female role out there. I feel like one day you are going to say "Hey, Tina would be a great Effie in Dreamgirls or Tracy in Hairspray."

I heard Tina was taking over for LaChanze in "The Color Purple."

Some of you kids crack me up. I'm pretty sure college grad students (females) look like fully grown woman and just because someone doesn't pass for a college student doesn't mean they're over the hill.

Rough crowd. Nope, not every role. Just certain ones. There's a big difference. I was just defending that I feel she could certainly play a college girl.

Grad student? Maybe.
Sorority girl? No.
But Cheno can? That's absurd.
Love me some Cheno...but I don't think ANYONE here thinks she can pull it off.
If, as MB said, they were going for a satire and would cast the show older...then possibly. But since that idea has been ditched...even Cheno knows it ain't happening.
We are all aware that LBB will be Elle. I was just sayin' that I could also see Tina in the role. She's got the personality and the legs!
