Actually, I have the inside scoop and Mary Poppins will be played by...
Adam Pascal. Yes, his "Spponful of Sugar" will be truly magical.

Jennifer Holliday will play Bert.
Idina Menzel will play the happy black lady in Super...you know the words.
Barrett Foa will play the title role.
Kristine Chenoweth will voice the Helium balloons in a splendid aria called, "Fly high."
Don't ask for a link.
This comes from a source.

Posted: 4/21/06 at 12:05amThat big black woman in SUPER frightened me HORRIBLY in London. I think Ms. Cleo jumped bail and moved to the UK and was working incognito

MS. CLEO!
I miss her.
Maybe Sharon Wilkins will knock Idina out before the show opens and take the part!

So she's on Broadway and she isn't Ashley Brown or Kelli O'Hara...that can only mean that it's SANDRA JOSEPH - kills us all now..
It's probably Jenn Gambatese, or Lauren Kennedy unless its some hooker from CHICAGO.

In the American version Mary won't fly. Idina wouldn't have it.
That's why, at the end of "Supercali..." Idina will be lifted by cherry picker to sing the Act I finale, "Defying Mackintosh."

At least I don't have to sit through BatB to see her!

Posted: 4/21/06 at 12:17amEmcee - I concur. For real.
#47re: Marry Poppins is....
Posted: 4/21/06 at 12:18amYou gotta commend Disney though for protecting their investment. I think they bought Ashley at an IRS auction about three years ago and they are going to make that bitch work every penny off, even if she has to go straight from POPPINS to the stage version of THE APPLE DUMPLIN GANG

Posted: 4/21/06 at 12:18amI hope it's true. I like her a lot. She's got the whole Mary Poppins thing going on. Good for Ashley Brown. I said her all along.
