Posted: 1/23/07 at 12:57pmI thought I heard that Amy Spanger was doing the first national of Drowsy. Have they even started casting? Who knows.

Have you people seen her. She's by far the best person for the job.

Posted: 1/23/07 at 2:32pmMy first pick for this role would be Nancy Anderson but to whomever suggested Jessica Grove...now she would be great too.

Rachel York would actually be better suited to the title role.

Posted: 1/23/07 at 6:06pmThis may be a tougher role to fill than it first seems. Afet all, many of us believe Sutton Foster is one of the very true actual "triple threats" on Broadway these days. Her tap dancing ability is as good as her voice, which is saying alot. I hear a number of names thrown around but few of them are actually "replacements" for the Tony Award winner.

Elaine Stritch ?
EDITED: This is only IF Stritch doesnt get cast as Ariel first.

^ Lol. Elaine would be amazing.
I can see Mylinda Hull in the role.

Posted: 1/23/07 at 8:00pmI agree with allofmylife. Who do we have that really does what Sutton Foster does? Some people get annoyed by her perkiness, but very few leading ladies can act, sing, and dance as well as she can.

- It's sad if Sutton becomes the "standard" or the one to beat for triple threats. We still have Chita Rivera, Bebe Neuwirth, Charlotte d'Amboise, Karen Ziemba, Brenda Braxton, etc. And lets not forget the original triple threat, Gwen Verdon. Those ARE some of the triple threats to beat.
