Sara Ramirez to exit SPAMALOT in December — Page 3

Ok kelzama--can you give any hints, initials?

Sara would make a great Elphaba. I doubt she'd do it though.

Personally I think Spamalot and Sara are overrated. Apparently all you need to do to win a Tony for best musical is write a musical that rips off all other musicals. To win for supporting actress you just have to butcher several different musical styles (but keep it funny.)

anika had more than a few songs and an integral aspect to the storytelling and IMO so much more deserving of her tony, especially in comparison with those nominated with her. In recent years I find her to be one of the most deserving of that award in the sheer emotion she gave and was just so much more than anything I find to be offered in spamalot. I am not saying "Ohh sara didnt deserve her award" cause this year supporting actress was a pretty tight race, but a completely different ballpark trying to compare the importance of each of their roles

It is true that the few songs Sara has certainly make the show have some redeeming quality and I am not disappointed she won, but really don't have an opinion on who should have won so I really cant bitch about anything.

Oh Broadway actresses trying to make the transition to television sitcoms. Good luck!

And PS on topic of the argument... I think one camp has a point in saying that yes, Sara Ramirez is great in the role, but the other camp has a point in saying that it's not a particularly demanding role. Sara Ramirez basically had the part built up around her and really it's a lot of sensationalism that is being rewarded. Personally I found Kelli O'hara to be very strong in Piazza, but I didn't see her back when she first started and I've heard she has grown a lot since then. I do not agree that any old soprano could play the role of Clara. From what I've read about Kelli, she isn't just any old soprano (though Sara isn't any old singer either). Kelli's Tony will undoubtedly come. Personally at this point I see Sara as a one trick pony (a one trick gaining wide spread attention and fame pony, that is) but she could very well prove me wrong.

Hey, Kelzama...do you post on imdb under the same name?

I remember being bored out of my mind during the cow song. She stood on stage in a sequened evening gown that had a cow design. It was pretty boring.

No one in Caroline, or Change had any dialogue, since it is a sung-through musical.

"There was dialogue in "Caroline, or Change."

Only in as much as there was dialogue in Miss Saigon or Les Miz.

safety-in-numbers:
Nope. It ain't me on IMBD. I thought I was unto my own in name uniqueness.

I'll try not to be shattered.

I hope that Sara is a success in tv/films so that if she comes back and does another show she'll bring a whole new audience to BW.

Just because Sara is leaving doesn't mean the show will be crap---I was excited to see TC & DHP, and came away really impressed with Michael McGrath and Chris Sieber.
