Here is a fantastic role for a young American actress that would be taken away. Of the world's most famous ENGLISH nanny. Get over yourself. I will be truly surprised and very impressed if Laura Michelle Kelly opens Poppins on Broadway. I have heard from many different people that her time with the show was over and done. This past Sunday though, she was interviewed in the Times over here for her upcoming pop album and it mentioned, of her many upcoming projects "possibly reprising her Poppins on Broadway".
But, rumors of fallings out with Cameron aside (that I think stem from her deciding to announce her leaving date in the London run
before renewal negotiations were completed), she has indicated in many interviews that she is done with theatre, at least for a while. She's pulling a Heather Headley, if you like. She has a pop album out in April and she is also talking of focussing on her film career. She's been steadily working from the age of 16 in musical theatre. I would imagine she now has the confidence AND the financial security to branch out in her career. And that, above everything else, is why I would be stunned to see her as Poppins again.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.
