Contrary to what a lot of you may think, Shoshana IS capable of singing without riffing. Listen to her Ars Nova Cabaret from 2002 and you'll hear it for yourself. Not to say that she's right for Les Mis but she doesn't have to riff and she has a very beautiful, more classical voice when she chooses to use it.

And for the record, Shoshana said personally to me that she would only come back to Broadway if it was to star in Funny Girl. Who knows if she'll stick to that but that's what she said. So there's no point even speculating about her doing Les Mis because she isn't interested.

well she sure has the right puss to play fanny brice - that part will be realistic.

I don't think she'd be right for the role. I do love her and hope for the best for her. To those of you that don't get why people like her I'll explain it to you. Like it or not she has a pleasant voice. She may not be able to act ,but she has a pleasant voice. Add on top of that the fact that she can riff belt and screech like nobodies business and again make it sound amazing, to most people's ears anyway. Some artist rub some people the wrong way. Her technique is a little strange ,but I still love her body of work. I'm almost certain that all of you that are constantly insulting her and her fans are in favor of someone who does something who you feel is underrated. Think about you feeling toward them.

Now it's 12:55 and the second episode of Roseanne had just went off I think I'll go to bed now. Goodnight.

I don't know which sounds worse to me...Shoshana in Les Miz or Shoshana in Funny Girl...

I can't even begin to articulate how horrible either one of those instances would be. God bless BWW--for awhile there I felt like the only person I knew who couldn't stand her voice.

I think that Eden should be Eponine...... Shoshana is just not right for either Fantine or Eponine. I would love Alice Ripley to revive her role as Fantine on B'Way.

Shoshana's pop sounding vowels and riffs belonged in Wicked, not in Les Mis.

IMO,

They don't belong anywhere, but maybe her shower.

But then God help her neighbors

Shoshana in Funny Girl would be much much much worse than her in Les Miz.

Leslie Kritzer should be the one to revive FUNNY GIRL, and in not event should Shoshana play the lead.
