It can still be stunt casting if the performer is talented. Stunt casting has such a negative connotation, but one must remember that for every Melanie Griffith, there is a . . . well someone. There's someone.

Ashley Tisdale is a possibility.

(not that I would want it, but SHE would sell tickets.)

BUMP.

I was so oddly intrigued after I mentioned Tisdale this morning. I would randomly think about it throughout the day, and it wasn't bad...

Ashley Tisdale is a possibility.

Funny you should mention that, I was just thinking about that too... she certainly would not be my first choice either, but the HSM demographic pretty well matches that of LB...

I doubt Ashley Tisdale would be available for that long of time. She just finished High School Musical 2, and will start filming The Suite Life Of Zack and Cody again soon, and will most likely still be filming in February. Not to mention High School Musical 3 will happen so she will most likely be in that. So I doubt Ashley Tisdale has time to grace the stage of The Palace.


My bet is on Nick or Kristen.

OK. If Nick plays Elle, then I'll buy a ticket to that!

Haha, I meant Nick as Warner, as was discussed earlier on in this thread.

jimnysf, I could just imagine all the word bubbles they'd need to create if lil' Endora took over the role, lol.

Little Endora would be adorable, though! We know she can dance a little. She did the Conga today.

Even for stunt casting, Ashley Tisdale is just BAD. She should never step on a Broadway stage. EVER. But if she did, maybe she'd stop being so full of herself when she sees all the terrible reviews.

Looks like Kristen Bell will be playing Elle after all!

If this means no Kristin in LB, I'm sad. Officially. I'd hoped to see her on stage again. She was one of the (few) good things about Tom Sawyer a few years ago.

And, I just now (late I know) saw the last episode of Veronica Mars...I'm already in withdrawal.

Heh. Broadway might be my first love, but I'm honestly glad that Kristen's concentrating on TV and film for now. She'll have plenty of time for the stage later when she's more established, and frankly I think she'd be much better off originating a role than replacing Laura Bell Bundy.

Have to say, way excited about that Apatow film.

Yeah, but in Ausiello's column about it, the producers said this:
But since we're an ensemble show, with many arcs playing out through the year, we found a way to jump into a small window in (Bell's) schedule."

I miss V Mars.

I'd love to see Kristin as Elle!
I don't know if it will happen, but I'd love it.

If she can fit in Legally Blonde, more power to her. I'm just glad that she's not forgoing more lucrative opportunities in favor of being a replacement on Broadway, at least right now.

On Perez:

“This was not easy to pull off,” said Heroes creator-exec producer Tim Kring. “But since we’re an ensemble show, with many arcs playing out through the year, we found a way to jump into a small window in (Bell’s) schedule.”

I feel like she still may be doing Legally Blonde...from what the producer said.

Kristen Bell will be joining NBC's hit series HEROES for a character cycle so she's already booked for the next few months. Ironically, her HEROES character is named Elle.

Ouch!
