Becky performed "So Much Better" in Providence, RI today at a press event to announce that the tour will kick off at PPAC in September. Heard from my dad (a reporter for a local radio station) that she was excellent, even at 10:30 in the morning!

Probably stated before, and since I figure the people of this thread would know, when is Laura Bell's expected last performance?

well since i was totally wrong, I will say that Nicolette is probobly a little closer to Ali Larter's portrayal in the movie. Not to say Nikki isn't amazing she just played the character much nicer

Caught the show on Sat 3/29. Everyone was in...although during intermission the announcement was made that "Due to injury, the role of the district attorney will be played by Lindsay Nicole Chambers."

"when is Laura Bell's expected last performance?"

Laura will be in the show till late June or July. As of last week the date of her last performance wasn't set yet.

FOUR weeks worth of Brooke u/s? Wow that's a long time.

Totally in the minority I guess- Nicolette Hart was my fav Maureen, although part of that might have been because Merle Dandridge was such a great Joanne, and yes I have seen less Maureens than most I am sure- but I'm excited to see her Brooke.

I also really enjoyed Nicolettes' Maureen. I haven't seen many Maureens either, but thought Nicolette was great.

Kate Rockwell is joining the show in early May as Margot and the understudy for Elle Woods.

Cool, I hadn't heard any info yet as to who was replacing Haven- thanks for the info!

I for one, LOVE Nicolette as Maureen, I wasn't planning on seeing LB again soon but I might thanks to her joining

who is this Rockwell woman?

and is it true Haven is going to be in Shrek? [hence why she's leaving?]

I'm going to miss Nikki. =( It's gonna be sad for me to see each of my favorite people leave.

Wow, I didn't think Haven was leaving so soon! When is her last day? I'm pretty sure she is doing Shrek. The main characters have been announced, I wonder when they're gonna announce Gingy! hehe

I'm so excited to see her there. AHH.

The producers of the new show "Shrek the Musical" have announced the casting of three major roles in the production, which will have its world premiere at Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre Aug. 14-Sept. 21, and move on to a Broadway run that opens in December.

She has to leave by then I guess?

Rehearsals for SHREK begin at the end of June (which is why Brian d'Arcy James, Sutton Foster, and Chester Gregory will all be in shows until around that time.)

Haven Burton, who will indeed be playing Gingy, leaves LEGALLY BLONDE around May as that marks the end of her initial six month contract.

More casting should be officially announced soon.

is Haven understudying Princess Fiona..or any major roles?

It seems most of you do the student ticket lotto, but does anyone have any idea of what prices are like for LB at the TKTS booth? Thanks!

[shh282]

Posted: 4/3/08 at 6:02pm

I don't think they'd know understudies before they do the start up theater or whatever, we'll find out soon enough...

[defyingravity07]

Posted: 4/3/08 at 6:06pm

Are you talking about knowing if an understudy is on? If so because of the gap between Nikki and Nicolete they needed to fill the time so the understudies were given specific dates they will go on.

[shh282]

Posted: 4/3/08 at 6:10pm

I was referring to knowing if Haven will understudy a lead part in Shrek,

I kind of figured that they had to fill the Nikki Nicolette void- unless they wanted to use one of the boys which they have not been afraid to do for other parts! haha

no problem at all - i should have been more clear. I was in class[ I think] at the time and was trying to type as little as possible.

fyi re: the Brooke u/s situation, apparently the next four weeks are starting off with two weeks of Kitty!Brooke. From her website:

Michelle will be playing Brooke Wyndam from April 9th-April 20th in LEGALLY BLONDE.

Guessing that means Beth!Brooke starting the week of 4/23?


OT/ and ps: hi to all the kids currently out there on the rush line for Nikki's last- one more hour to go!

Nikki had pizza delivered to all the fans camping overnight for tickets.

I hope there wasn't any drama this time... :-P

Goodbye Nikki! I wish her all the best.
Anyone going to her last show(s) today? Please report back!

lol I think the question might be is there anyone *not* going to Nikki's last tonight- I think all the Blonders I know will be there. I was there last night, I'll be there tonight- I am super sad for Nikki's last, but at the same time I am really looking forward to ACL hardcore.
