"Looks like we'll have a whole new family at @n2nbroadway soon. Alice Ripley is going on tour and Marin Mazzie will replace her as Diana!"

Has this been confirmed anywhere?

Not that I've heard of, but @BroadwaySpotted has been pretty accurate before with casting news, so I believe this.

Marin will be GREAT in this role. Was Jessica not considered because she's off to do Priscilla - or is she off to do Priscilla because she wasn't considered?

Faced with these Loreleis, what man can moralize!

Someone mentioned it here weeks ago as a possibility.

Spamalot, Enron and now Next to Normal? What a waste of Marin's talent. I wonder when will this Broadway DIVA be in a good show for a change.

I actually think it could be a great idea.

Talk about a completely different vocalist from Ripley.

I wish they would go ahead and announce it already!! Alice has been alluding to going on tour for months on her fb page. Not really alluding but recently someone said they would bring her gifts if the tour came near where they lived and she replied asking where they lived. If that doesn't say, "I'll see you there!", I don't know what does.

In any case, I think this works out great for everyone. Marin Mazzie will be an awesome Diana and more people will get to see Alice in her Tony-award winning role!

This would make the national tour a hit. Otherwise, there wouldn't be much draw.

I was hoping Julia Murney would do it

I'm sure Marin will be great though.

Gah, Julia Murney would be glorious. I'll give Marin a chance though.

How would this make the tour a hit? No one knows who Alice Ripley is.

It's easy to see why they would go with 3 time Tony nominee Marin Mazzie over somebody with two Broadway credits like Julia Murney. Nothing against Murney, but it just makes sense to me. I'm not saying Mazzie will be a draw, but she just seems like a better choice.

Wow. I was just fantasizing when I started the thread. I agree that she deserves to create a role, but until then, I'll take one of my favorite actors in my favorite show.

That would be interesting. I would also love to hear Andrea McArdle take on the role.

I literally just walked through Shubert Alley and saw her and Jason standing by the stagedoor.

^ Wow. I doubt that is just a coincidence. I hope we get an announcement sometime this week.

If they market it correctly, it can be. How many people out there get to see an original company member in their Tony-winning performance? If I were a theatre fanatic in middle America, I would buy my tickets immediately. I'm not saying it would make the show mainstream, but they'd certainly do better business than with a complete no-name.
