It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

Not for another 45 minutes 
I LOVE Rue. If she were in Wicked, I would have to find a way to see it somehow.

She recently backed out of Hello Dolly in OKC due to some health concerns. Is she well enough now?

She's make a great Hannigan in ANNIE. So would Charlotte Rae and Eileen Brennan.

OMG. That would be amazing.

I didn't say Madame Morrible was a strenuous role, Cats. but since she was unable to keep a one week engagement because she had some health concerns, there is obviously some question as to whether or not she could do it

and madame morrible is kind of a stressful role, at least vocally...carol shelley gets kind of crazy with her screaming and carrying on...and i mean that in a good way

i think some of morrible's screaming may be sound tricks, especially when she does her "WIIICKKKED WITCH" line in defying gravity. so it shouldent be too stressful
