I was hoping for Veanne Cox to be bumped up...oh well
It's still a marvelous cast.

I would've preferred some Tracy Ullman!

Loved her in The Pajama Game! She was a simply marvelous Gladys, the best one I thought. I really appreciated her comedic timing. She'll be a great Gloria! Here comes the broken record, but I hope they either record this, or it transfers....awesome casting!!!

That's cool. I enjoyed Megan's performance in Two Gentleman of Verona. I think she'll do a fine job as Gloria. I'm super excited to see this show!

WHAT! SO UPSETTING! Megan is great but Ana would have been wonderful is that role and it is a shame she is not doing it anymore

YES! I love, love, LOVE Megan Lawrence. I'm suddenly okay with Ana leaving.

That is really exciting, not Ana getting hurt, she is great. But, Megan was so great in Damn Yankees and I have been wanting more from her. Is this going to effect her participation in HAIR at all?

Yay, Megan. This is great news.

That is disapointing for Ana, but Megan will be excellent. She is brillent

I assume you meant THE PAJAMA GAME? Or has Lawrence done DAMN YANKEES before?
I'm still not over the disappointment of Gasteyer's injury

Ray, I'm pretty sure you didn't see The Pajama Game revival, so I think you're in for a treat (she's really hilarious). But, I will miss Gasteyer's power belting.

Megan grew up very close to where I grew up. She performed at the theatres I performed at. She was wonderful in "The Pajama Game" and "Les Misérables". In fact, I think that she closed "Les Misérables" with another girl from where I grew up as Cosette.

Jewishboy, thanks, you know how much I trust your taste so I don't doubt Lawrence is a fine addition to the cast. It's just Ana Gasteyer is just one of my favorites, I adore her belt, she can make me laugh from a simple gesture or look, and she just seemed like such inspired casting for Gloria, it's insane. I wish her a speedy recovery and hope she eventually gets to bring her awesome self back to the NY stage.
