Stephanie Block in Yentl the musical...

The movie was a musical long before it was a movie - 1975 - starring Tony-nominated Tovah Feldshuh.

If Stephanie Block were in a Funny Girl revival, I'd hack and slash anyone who got in the way between me and a ticket.

I'm being punk'd, right?

Out there in cyberland someone must've decided to see if I would indeed reply to ANYTHING Steph related.

Well here I am.

Hope someone won a good bet! :)

Ok, truth is I love Yentl. Know every song in that movie by heart...even knew the movie itself by heart at one point. So I guess I wouldn't completely be against the idea. Lately though, I've been hoping that she gets to originate a broadway lead next with an already accomplished and respected creative team behind the project - and that it be something TOTALLY different than anything she's done before. Perhaps something SO different that it would have people questioning why she was even cast until they got their answer opening night! Oh, and as long as I'm making my "in a perfect world" Steph wish list... I do think she needs to go back to Bway, but I hope whatever it is she does next starts out in L.A.

A few people had asked her about Haven when the tour was in L.A., including myself. She seemed surprised I even knew about it because it was so long ago and her involvement in it was pretty brief. She definitely DOES NOT have plans of touring with it in 2006.

My goodness, could you imagine jumping right into another TOUR, no matter what the show, after traveling a year with WICKED?

i was talking about Laura in the Amy Irving role because she is too pretty for Bab's role. i can totally see Stephanie in the short hair and glasses and the outfit. she'd be a cute boy....i would be the role of a lifetime, in my opinion...it COULD be up there with Mama Rose.
i am sure there are others out there who would be great in the role...but they NEED to do YENTL on Broadway. Of course they would need to write some more music so that Yentl isn't the only one singing! Aaron Lazar would be great too! i think i am going to buy the rights....AAAAHAHAHAH!!
