The show in Tempe last weekend was great! Sunday night I got to see Lauren Zarkin as Elle and Barry Anderson as Emmett again!!!! I saw him do the role in New York last year and was so glad to see him again on the tour. The audience had so much fun that night. ADORABLE SHOW!!!

The show was great, today! Saw Lauren as Elle and Cortney's first ever as Brooke. She was fantastic! Hated Callahan, though. He was awful! Lauren was great, though.

Do you know why was up with Cortney going on as brooke? He alredy left the cast, and per her Twitter she went to Sacramento to visit them.

Either way, how was she? I can't image her in that blonde wig doing "whipped into shape".

Huh?

^ I meant she, not he. Still getting used to having a touch screen keyboard. Go figure.

Yeah, those touch screens can be annoying.

As another poster mentioned, Becky's voice is quite irritating. Is that her "Elle" voice, or does she always sing like she has a stuffed up nose????? It really got on my nerves. Lots of ladies in the restroom line at intermission saying the same thing. Like her acting, but the voice was like fingernails on a chalkboard for me.

UM, okay, CORTNEY WAS AMAZING. She was the best Brooke I've ever seen! She was a tad awkward at times with her line delivery and all, but other than that, fantastic! And she looked hot in the blonde wig. She came out after and apologised for getting her wet, messy hair in everyone's pictures because she showered after the show. She was real sweet.

I am so happy that Lauren Zakrin has consistent work. Or at least so far. I wish her all the best!!!

Saw Lauren as Elle last night in Sacramento and really liked her a lot!! She was very perky and fill of energy (something Becky seems to be lacking...saw her last week). Becky has a better voice, but Lauren sings it better if that makes since. Becky seems to be marking in my opinion...maybe she is just tired of the role? Anyway, not sure if Lauren will be on again in Sac, but she was great!!

When does Becky leave? When I went to see Legally Blonde in NYC while Bailey was Elle, there were a few girls at the stage door who said that they though Becky was the best out of the Bailey, Becky, Laura Bell Bundy trio.

LOLOL, BroadwayBound115. That's hilarious. Laura will always be the greatest Elle that ever lived.

I have to say that after seeing videos of Lauren on Youtube, I wasn't looking forward to seeing her as Elle but she impressed me. She was great.

Among the four finalists on the reality show (Autumn, Lauren, Rhiannon, Bailey), I always thought Lauren had the best voice, even though she wasn't my favorite as Elle. Glad to see that she will join the Grease tour. It is actually coming to a theater near me this winter, so I might have to see it, even though I'm not too thrilled with the show.

Lauren was my favorite on the reality show as well but I was concerned she was too young

Cassie S. was my favorite, not that because we have the same name only mine is spelled with a K, but I thought she was the best out of that awful bunch. Everyone knows my hatred for that reality show. Autumn was terribly better than Bailey in every way but she only won because she looked more like Elle and was younger.

I thought Lauren was adorable with her pudgy little face and curls! She's lost SO much weight since the show. She's not pudgy anymore! I wanted Lauren to win SO badly when it got down to it. I hated Rhiannon but she half won me over with her portrayal of Margot. She's very uncoordinated, though. I was watching her dance on Sunday and she kept falling over! It was kind of cute, but it shows why she's Margot and not Elle.

On a side note, Lauren Zakrin has the smallest feet I have EVER seen. Just saying.

I wish I could have seen Courtney. Is she permanently the new Brooke? I saw Lauren in Chicago, and I was surprisingly very impressed. On the show I thought she was too young inexperienced, but the crowd was in love with her. She sounded great too. I prefer the sound of her voice to Becky's, although Becky has a little more control and cleanliness to her sound, but I find it boring. She also did everything differently that LBB and Becky. It was refreshing.

Sandy is great news. This role will be a piece of cake for her. I hope some one posts reviews when they see her.

I agree, CityLove. At this point, I'm willing to even see Ken Land as Elle if it means that I don't have to see Becky.

I saw Becky yesterday. Her act 2 was solid, but her act 1 was meh. If you’re going to go for a more outwardly intelligent Elle in act one, you’ve got to own it. In act one, her actions screamed “see how different I am from Laura Bell Bundy!”

I can't believe Lauren left! I'm so happy that I got to see her, not as Elle but I'm glad I saw her at all. She's such a sweetheart and I hope she gets to do more stuff because she has an amazing voice.
