Posted: 10/19/05 at 7:51pmAre you kidding? (cringes)Wow. Not a good wow, just wow. I'd pay a lot of money to see that. The humor of it all would be priceless. I can't think of anything else to say. Wow.....

Posted: 10/19/05 at 9:55pmI'm surprised Dollypop favourite Loretta Switt didn't get the gig.

Loretta Swit is going into MAMMA MIA. How many times do I have to tell you?
And you know what? She'll be amazing!

Posted: 10/19/05 at 10:20pmWhat role will Loretta be playing in Mamma Mia, the daughter?
#35re: Melanie Griffith to replace Christina Applegate in CHARITY
Posted: 10/20/05 at 12:08amMore like Granmama Mia. Loretta Swit is more than a bit long in the tooth for the role. But nothing surprises me anymore.

Posted: 10/20/05 at 12:13amI think Charlize Theron should come and kick Griffith's ass and do Charity! God, if Verdon didn't raise from her tomb when Griffith did Roxie, then this time she will!
#37re: Melanie Griffith to replace Christina Applegate in CHARITY
Posted: 10/20/05 at 12:25amI might have actually stayed for Act II had Griffith been the star when I saw the show.

Soo the I'm crossing Sweet Charity off my "to see list" when I go to NY this Feburary...
But seriously, could they not find someone a LITTLE bit more talented than her?
Charity is one of my most favourite woman roles in a musical....I feel like crying....

If it makes you feel better, many of us are crying with you.
Applegate was indeed a great Charity, it sucks they are replacing her with someone with such a limited talent.

Loretta Swit will be assuming the role of "Sophie" in MAMMA MIA. I haven't seen the show, so I don't know whether Sophie is the mother or the daughter. Swit is so amazing should could probably play them both simultaneously.

Posted: 10/20/05 at 10:44pmHmm play them both? I just had a great casting idea! Loretta Switt in SIDESHOW! "I will never leave me!"

Posted: 10/21/05 at 6:33amWhy can't Bebe Neuwirth return to Broadway????

Bebe has vowed never to work for the Wesslers again (After Chicago.)
Though I would love to see her return to this role.
