Stephanie J. Block's next role? — Page 3

I can also imagine her choosing to take a break as some have suggested. If not, I'm sure we'll find out what her next professional move is soon enough. She isn't one to sit still for too long.

I honestly don't picture her replacing anyone in any of the shows currently running, including WICKED. If we're discussing revivals, however, I know she wants to do a Sondheim musical... particularly the part of the Baker's Wife in INTO THE WOODS. And, of course, Fanny in FUNNY GIRL! She's spoken about wanting to revive that role many times.

I adore SJB and can imagine her doing a good job as Mary Poppins. But Diana in N2N? No way, she's not edgy enough for that role. There needs to be a shimmer of imperfection and I find SJB too "picture perfect".

" I assume she'll do:
A. Return to Elphaba (Maybe after Donna leaves)
B. Focus on her recording career
C. Take a break and relax
D. Play Judy in 9 to 5 tour
E. other "

A. No.
B. Maybe.
C. Quite possibly.
D. No.
E. Yes.

Cashier at Duane Reade?

I know they are work-shopping the new Rebbecca musical with Pia Douwes as Ms. Danvers, but I would love to see Stephanie J. Block in this role. She so intense onstage and vocally the role would be amazing with her voice! Just a thought!

Julia Murney & Ana Gasteyer were both 40 when they did the show. Not to mention Stephanie did it JUST last year. I don't think she rapidly aged in a year.
