Good for her. I bet she'd be great. However, I couldn't really see her setting down for a long run in the show. She's still making the most of her IDOL time.

and as if to prove one should not spill to early, our schedules didn't work out with Kat McPhee and, ironically, the role is now gonna be performed by the fabulous Tamara Gray...so, different Idol, just as much a knockout

Sweet! I know it's only a workshop, but I'm actually quite excited about the idea of this show.

I can't WAIT for the official cast recording to come out. I have heard songs from the demo and is SUPERB!

I'm SO happy to hear that. I think I like Tamyra as a person more than Katharine. I bet McPhee is nice, but I just Tamyra more.

In the Sara Gettelfinger role I presume?
Is that the role played by Jennifer Garner in the film?

Thanks Marc :) While Katherine McPhee is amazingly talented, I'd be more inclined to see the show if Tamyra was involved! I cant't get enough of her. Who else is in the workshop cast?
Nathan Lane
Christian Borle
Louise Pitre
Tom Wopat
Annaleigh Ashford
Tamyra Gray

I wonder how so many people get to hear these demo recordings. I would love to hear this show, it sounds so exciting, and I love the music in Hairspray and Fame Becomes Me! There should be a special section on BWW where you can listen to demos. That would be awesome! I hope this musicals comes quickly!

No more Sara Gettelfinger? That's disappointing.
Is Rachelle Rak still attached to the project?

Yes, Rachelle Rak is still involved at this point.

So does this mean that she has recovered from her injury and just hasn't returned to Rent? When is the workshop?

WOO-HOO! I am so excited about this. I hope to god that she gets the part in the Broadway production next year because she will be great in this part.

I'm sorry, this is a great group of talents, however, this just looks like a mess. I really hate the idea of the whole thing being tounge in cheek. I hate it for so many reasons... 1. xanadu has already done it now 2 It is such a great story, don't ruin it by making fun of yourselves. 3. The biggest reason is that this is based on a real story. Have some respect for the incredible story of frank abignale jr. I'm sorry this just sounds like it is going to suck. 4. A friend of mine had a copies of a couple of the songs and lets just say hmmmmmmm It's early

Wait, toungue in cheek? I have heard nothing about this being toungue in cheek. As far as I know, it's realistic.

Really disapointed that Katharine McPhee couldn't do it as I think she has a great voice and untapped star quality. I like Tamyra Gray I just never thought there was anything that special about her. You never know though what could happen through.

Love the demo, Marc. The songs are so smooth I can almost smell the smoke in the air.
Love the song Patti LuPone sang. If, in fact, that was her.

How about waiting until the workshop (at least) before dismissing it? Just a suggestion.

Thank you Jimmy, thats the best plan.
I for one think that Tamyra would actually be better than Kat just because she has had more experience after Bombay Dreams and now RENT, in which she has brought so much new heat and emotion to Mimi, so I think getting the chance to create a role would do great for her. I really hope that the workshop goes really good and this cast stays on for the production because I actually think they all will work amazingly well together.
