Betty Buckley is not big.
Emily Skinner, no question!
...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

Ljay, what the hell? That's, like... not that funny.
I agree to Debra Monk on the list. That woman's fantastic. And I love, love, love Aimee Garcia, even though she's not quite a showstopper. She's so damn funny.
Oh, and Galinda's 'larger' friend in the original cast of Wicked.

Posted: 10/28/06 at 11:09pmWhen Mama Cass Elliot died she was about to seriously persue a career in musical theatre. She had signed (or was about to sign) to do The Grass Harp on Broadway. Can you imagine what a marvelous Broadway star that big white woman might have been?
