When is Christina Applegate's contract up with the show? I think I heard it was up at the end of this month, is that right? I don't necessarily want to see the show when I go to New York in January, but are there any talks of a replacement for her? Who would you like to see as Charity??? How about Sarah Jessica Parker?

Christina's contract is up on the 31st. If they find a replacement for her by the end of this week, she will extend into January to give the replacement time to rehearse. Otherwise, the show will close when she leaves.

I wish they would audition Megan Lewis. She is perfect for the role.

What about Charlotte D.(sorry, can't spell her last name!)! Isn't she pretty popular as far as a crowd draw...maybe...? I heard she was great when she did it, but I guess Charity can't sell itself (as other shows like Wicked of The Producers can). I bet Brittany Spears would have sold the show, but I'm still glad that didn't happen.

What about Melanie Griffth? I know a lot of people on here don't want her back on broadway, but she could keep the show open.
