However, Bernadette DID originate that role in the revival.

She was in the original cast of a revival of Gypsy. I'm assuming that's what Munkustrap was getting at (unless it was a typo).

Edit: Oops, too slow.

I'm with the errico here. You can easily do this research on your own. Check this site out. It'll be an eye-opener for you.

I can't believe this is a thread considering how many people this applies to. A more interesting one would be stars who appear on only ONE cast recording (not chorus members, but LEADS)

i hope some of you dont consider a career in education... calling a question "stupid" is not necessary.

BTW, I never knew about that website, thanks.

This site will help with any off-Broadway questions you may have.

I thought at first it was going to be a question about performers that either originated a role (or not) and later went back to perform such as:

Marissa Jaret Winokur - Hairspray
Susan Egan (Cabaret)
Jennifer Gambatese - Hairspray (although not the same role)
Raymond Thorne - FDR in Annie and also the Revival

Daphne Rubin Vega (Rent and Rocky Horror)
Anthony Rapp (Youre A Good Man Charlei Brown) and (Rent)

BwayLeadman --
I hope you weren't talking to me. First, I never said the word "stupid," and second, as a teacher for six years now, I am more than well aware of the fact that sometimes, yes, despite our protestations, people DO ask stupid questions.

Case in point, I once said something along the lines of "John Lennon was shot by a fan." A kid raised her hand and asked how that was possible. Not understanding her, I asked for clarification - she didn't see how it was possible for a fan to shoot someone. Finally, another kid in the class explained that she was thinking of a mechanical fan. Of course she knew what a "fan" meant in the way it was intended -- but no one can deny that was a stupid question.
