"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor
"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

I know, right? I loved her in Gypsy and Into the Woods but she's been tepid at best in everything else. Nowhere NEAR the same level as Sutton Foster.
I'm also pretty surprised nobody even TRIED to SUGGEST Idina Menzel in the preliminary phase.

Posted: 4/29/09 at 4:45pmFrom what I've seen from when I saw Sutton in Young Frankenstein last year, and Shrek about 4 nights ago, I know why Laura beat her.
