No, it isn't a slap in the face to Cynthia. It is very rare for Broadway performers to recreate the roles they originated on stage.
Nicole Kidman is an excellent actress, a proven box-office attraction, and she can downplay her glamor when necessary. As has been said before, the film probably wouldn't be getting made at all if she weren't involved.
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)
