Posted: 9/10/08 at 3:45pmHmm.. that would be news to the Sahara in Vegas where she is signed for a year.

Posted: 9/10/08 at 5:17pmI believe this is now King of the Hill's 13th (!) season. Kathy does such a brilliant job voicing Peggy Hill. She's clearly not hurting for the cash, but she would definitely be awesome in Xanadu. That being said, I would probably check out Roseanne too!

She isn't at the Sahara anymore.
She left at the end of July.
Your fupa is showing.

Posted: 9/10/08 at 5:52pmBette Midler would be a fun replacement for Mary Testa. But she's got her Vegas shtick.

I hope this is a rumor, Roseanne doesn't seem like a very big draw to the crowds in this day and age.
I really wish Ellen DeGeneres didn't have her talk show, she seems like an amazing replacement!

"Nathan Lane in drag would be awesome!!"
Nathan is great but since there are already two men playing women in the show there really isn't much of an impact or joke there.
I agree about Bette. She would be great in the show if that were to happen.

Posted: 9/10/08 at 8:29pmLuckily, (from what I have heard) it is NOT Roseanne.

I dont think anyone really knows for sure who the replacements are going to be. (although I think Ben Vereen is just about definite) -- Maybe Roseanne HAS been offered the role (replacing Mary Testa (or attempting to!) for 6 weeks.
Over at ATC, they are saying that the deal with Rosie fell thru.
Thats the name I had heard. I still want Lea DeLaria !!!

Someone else over at ATC spotted Erin Davie at the show last night holding a script and talking to cast members.
Is she lined up to go in as Kira?
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.

Posted: 9/13/08 at 11:12amXanadu must be getting a little desperate with all this stuntcasting!
#69re: Roseanne Barr Headed to XANADU?
Posted: 9/13/08 at 11:26amAll this stuntcasting? So far, it's been officially one person.

I wouldnt consider Erin Davie stuntcasting, if that is what you are referring to. (Roseanne-- well, thats another story)
If Erin is indeed joining the cast, she could be replacing Kate, who was Patti Murin's U/S.

Posted: 9/13/08 at 11:27amNone of this stuntcasting is confirmed, and I don't think it's desperate. The show is doing just fine and I think certain people would leap at the opportunity to do such a show.

#72re: Roseanne Barr Headed to XANADU?
Posted: 9/13/08 at 11:31amYeah that sounds about right, because all the leads are contracted until January.
#73re: Roseanne Barr Headed to XANADU?
Posted: 9/13/08 at 12:08pmAnd Patti is going to be out for a week as well this month, so not sure who would play her track, with Kate joining "Hairspray", so Davie could be a real possibility.

Did Kate leave?
Sorry, I'm behind!
