Who is Kerry Butler?

Isn't she still playing Penny in HAIRSPRAY or Audrey in LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS?

I'm confused. How can someone be in 3 (three) shows at the same time? Who does she think she is? Cynthia Nixon?

OK, well I'm glad this thread has been started--I didn't know when she was starting. Here's hoping she gives a great performance on her opening night!... and every night to follow!

I'm quite partial to her "MICHIGAN" at Broadway on Broadway.

I'm sure she'll be riff-tastic.

She was brilliant. A revelation. She steals every scene she's in! They added six new sings for her, including T'Pau's "Heart and Soul" and C&C Music Factory's "Things that Make You Go Hmmm."

Two thumbs up!

Did they really add songs for her?

They sure did. In addition to what Phyllis noted, Butler also sings CC Pennison's "Finally", "Cold-Hearted Snake", Debbie Gibson's "Electric Youth", and Sir Mixalot's "My Posse's on Broadway".

Just pictured KB singing the lyrics "Things that make you go 'Hmmm'" and crossing her arms with an orchestral burst.

Andddd spit out my water.

I think her name is Ericka Hunter. Or atleast that's who I saw on Monday. Didn't see the show before, but she was terrific!

Haven't seen her as Sherrie, but did not like her as Waitress #1 AT ALL. I hope she's not doing Sherrie on Sundays.

Hunter was on last night as well--- Kerry supposed to be starting tonight, but for anyone that might be going tonight to see her, I would check with the Box office first-

Just a heads-up.

It's just a great show!!
