She could have been a Velma who got knocked up at 14.

Oh, she's great! But I wonder what the deal is with Pawk.

Any further word on this?
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Oh excellent! Any confirmation of this news, Norn? I imagine Mary Birdsong as the humorous-singing-side of Cherry Jones!

Not for nothing but Michele Pawk was in the show for over 5 months. It's not as if she was replaced out of the blue after two weeks like in Mamma Mia!
I saw Mary twice in Fame Becomes Me and I'm sure she'll do great in Hairspray.
