Susan Egan in Sweet Charity? — Page 2

didn't the original post say "young" Susan is older the Ms. Applegate and not really in the young category anymore.

I hate to say it, but I feel a Brooke Shields replacement coming on.

I don't think Brooke is all wrong for the role, she already proved she could do comic roles in Wonderful Town and she danced to a Tony-award winning choreography, did you see her doing Conga! Anyways, I don't think Brooke would accept to do yet another replacement, I think people won't actually receive her as a real Broadway performer until she originates a role and she's said she wants to create a role on Broadway already, she says she has paid her dues.

I loved Brooke in Wonderful Town and plan to see her in Chicago. I saw Christina and I think Brooke is wrong in the part. I really don't see why this show isn't doing well. I thought it was really entertaining.

I thought Brooke Shields was really good and funny in Wonderful Town, ok she is not the always seamless Donna Murphy but I think she made the role her own. I thought she'd be right for Charity because she can dance, sing, and she is a great performer and I think she could pull off that mixture of vulgar, naive, good person. But she's made it clear that she wants to originate a role on Broadway (maybe with her good friend Sherie Rene Scott,yay!) so I doubt that after Chicago she'll settle for another replacement.
