Oh, yes. I almost forgot I saw Jen in that one non-equity tour too. She was the one great thing about that production.
I know what you mean, and it's perfectly understandable to want to see someone else take on a role.
On a somewhat related note, it's a pity a talent like Paz is limited to the same roles years later. I'd hate to think her race is what keeps her from being cast in other roles in an art form where suspension of disbelief and acting can effectively turn an ordinary artist into Eva Peron, Elphaba, Fantine, Cassie, and many others.
And why Salonga hasn't been cast in another Broadway show other than ones she's done before is beyond me. I think she'd make a fabulous Elphaba.
