It's so nice to see our seniors getting a chance to perform again.

Are 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.....

I'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!

"...But Kungurtseva reels off multiple fouettes and the tape is stopped so she can take a bow. The Jester, an abomination introduced to Swan Lake in Soviet times, extorts applause from the audience. The cuts don't help the storytelling, the production is bare bones and they go for the '50s-style happy ending. The audience cheers like mad at the end. It's the Russian ballet, after all..."

What role will Loretta be playing in Mamma Mia, the daughter?

More like Granmama Mia. Loretta Swit is more than a bit long in the tooth for the role. But nothing surprises me anymore.

I 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!

I 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.

Bebe has vowed never to work for the Wesslers again (After Chicago.)

Though I would love to see her return to this role.
