Janine LaManna officially signed the contract and will be joining the show, I heard today from a teacher of mine who is good friends with her. I have complete confidence in him as a source, but I'm not sure you all will.... but I thought I'd tell anyway!

You win.
I'm adding it to my resume.

I didn't even think of Janine. I'm sure she'd be great if it is true. I saw her a couple years ago in Aida at NSMT and to be honest, I don't really remember the show that much, but I'm sure she was good :P
if the show lasts this long without Bob, and Sutton... what about Mara Davi replacing Janine when she leaves? She pretty much WAS Sutton Foster in the national tour of 42nd Street, and could do the camp in that show that is needed for a role like Janet, or a show like Drowsy... and has the soprano chops... and probably has the gymnastics. Opinions?

I never thought about LaManna, either, but she'll be fantastic.
Isn't LaManna a bit old for it?
More like too bland for this.

I think you're absolutely right, JulianHookBucks. Which would make Otis partly right, and everyone else mostly wrong. :)

christy carlson romano?!!!
are you kidding me?
skingdom out.
Mara Davi has a fantastic voice and is a wonderful tap dancer. They could always alter the choreography for her (if she doesn't have the gymnastic skills). I still think that Mylinda Hull would be hilarious, though.

I thought I had heard they would be slightly altering the choreography to best fit the new Janet's strengths. So, if Mara ever went in, maybe it would be tap heavy.
That would be great!
(Edit: Would this mean a new thread entitled "Mara's Replacement Contest" would be in order?)

Until it's officially posted, I won't believe that Janine's been cast. I'm really hoping it's not her. I haven't been impressed with what I've seen her in (Ragtime, Kiss Me Kate, etc.)
Lizzya9. Then she and Sherie Rene and Lea Michelle could all be on Bway at the same time.
Maybe all 3 could do a Joe's Pub concert?
HUZZAH for Seussical alumni! I think she's a great singer (never seen her live, so that's all I get to have an opinion on!) but still love her!

Congratulations to Mara!!! and Janine! They will both be fantastic, and I can't wait to see Mara in the show. I am excited beyond words... :)
