BroadwayWorld announcement
Any predictions on who will step into the role? Twitter has been joking around with Julie Andrews, but my bet is on someone like Karen Murphy.

Congratulations on a beautiful run for her! She was incredible.
I’m hoping for Angela and Julie, but I know it won’t happen. I think her understudy will take over

I feel like if her understudy was taking over that would have been included in this announcement, and not the specific "casting to be announced at a future date" line

I would like to see that - she was one of the best parts of War Paint to me, and she can certainly pull off the classical costume silhouette as seen in Gents Guide. She has the same aristocratic look about her as Ms. Peil.

Carole Shelley would have been wonderful 
What about Sally Ann Howes, Dana Ivey, Penny Fuller, or Donna McKechnie?

I didn't care for the show very much, but she was really wonderful. Hard not to fixate on her.

Would be pretty cool for Liz Callaway to take over the role....kind of a full circle moment. Not sure she is old enough for the role

I don't think she is old enough, but a couple decades down the line and that could be fabulous.

Now that could be an interesting choice - I was actually listening to her version of If We Never Meet Again with Dolly Parton the other day.

Jennifer Smith (her understudy) will probably take over.

For some reason, Penny Fuller was the first person I thought of. She’d be wonderful, but there’s actually a wealth of actresses who would do the part justice.

I have to say, at her age, and her career, having seen a random Tuesday performance, I thought she was incredible.

It’s neither of them. But it is another actress in their age range.

@ColorTheHours048, has the actress appeared on Broadway in the past 10 years or so?
