Well the cast has been announced for Naked Girl on the Appian Way and Susan Kelechi Watson has been chosen to play the part my friend originated. I knew chances were low that she'd be cast for the NY production but it still burns a little. And to think she could've been kissing Matthew Morrison... sigh. There is always next time. Not that she reads this but YOU ROCK DAWN, your time will come!

I can't find anything on Susan, anyone know where I can see a picture of her?

Sorry about Dawn. She did a very good job in the play at South Coast Rep, and is a lovely person as well. Susan Kalechi Watson plays a recurring character on Third Watch, having appeared about a dozen times so far. She also did a play with Philicia Rashad at the Public Theater in NY late 2003. Perhaps she had a bigger name? I'm glad that they kept the wonderfully funny/crabby Ann Morgan Guilbert and that James Yaegashi gets to repeat his role (he does have Broadway experience having created a role in Take Me Out). The cast headed by Jill Clayburgh, Richard Thomas, and Matthew Morrison has more names in it, which is most likely what the director/producers are looking for. But it still sucks for Dawn to have created a role and to have two cast members get to repeat theirs, but not her. That's the BIZ, as they say.

This show needs to be retitled: The Naked Matt of the Great White Way. Then, any cast members who fall into that criteria would follow suit and have a SUCCESSFULLY hot run. ::needs a life::

The above post is quite incomprehensible to me.
