Tari Kelly is playing Sally in Cabaret right now.

I would have liked to see Rachel York in those shoes had she not joined the "Camelot" tour.

I 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.

Lauren Kennedy.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

My first pick for this role would be Nancy Anderson but to whomever suggested Jessica Grove...now she would be great too.

I just don't get Nancy Anderson. Never have, never will.

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

This 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.

I 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.
Some people paint, some people sew, I meddle.

- 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.

'Oh my God, Susan Egan all the way.'

Once again not gonna happen..her baby is due early next month and she's already stated she has no intention of doing any shows that require her to move across the country or that have an 8 a week schedule for several years.
