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?

oh, yeah cuz' Madame Morrible is such a strenuous role...

[morosco]

Posted: 3/15/05 at 5:26pm

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

I also just read that Rue McClanahan is 70 years old. Amazing woman.

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

morosco- did she play miss hannigan? if so where? she'd be great! I am so excited if she's gonna do WICKED.

that would be SO exciting!!!

sooo freaking awesome...

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
