Kelly Ripa

kchenofan's computer is broken right now. This is her fridge. Now, you can leave a message, but say it slowly, so I can write it on a post-it note and stick it to myself.

If she's not busy, then maybe Laura Michelle Kelly.

Laura Michelle Kelly will NEVER do the role again considering that she had a falling out with Cameron a long time ago.

I've heard about the new Bert (God help us all), but I haven't heard even a peep about the new Mary.

it's not "Who did I hear", it's "Who do I know for a fact unless something falls through."

Let's just say that he is known to the Broadway community aned last starred in a show with a crazy teeny bopper following.

Isn't Groff a little too young for Bert?

I don't know if Christian Borle would make a good Bert but he was amazing in LB and I'm seeing the show in November so I really hope it is him because he is very talented. The only thing that bothered me was that he never stagedoored but whatever.

I could see him being a very good Bert.

Oh God I sure hope Christian Borle is in NO WAY involved with Mary Poppins!

Christian Borle? I don't know. I really don't see it.

The next Mary Poppins should be Priscilla Lopez! I would pay so much money to see that, seriously.

Am I the only one who thinks Stephanie J. Block might make a brilliant Mary?

Yes

But going along with the whole Christian Borle idea...what about Andy Karl as Bert?

Andy Karl could certainly dance the role.

Stephanie J Block is looking for work. Isn't she the new "go to" girl everyone here says should go into anything, no matter what it is?

[winston89]

re: The next Mary Poppins on Broadway will be...anyone??#22

Posted: 8/1/09 at 2:53pm

WishingOnlyWounds2, I don't think that Block would make a good Poppins. She doesn't have the proper voice. Poppins is more of a soprano role and judging by Block's singing on The Pirate Queen CD I am willing to bet that she is more of a mezzo if anything.

She was able to sing Belle. Stephanie played the part at Hollywood Studios.

The singing starts around 1:33 and she was able to hit all the notes.
Stephanie as Belle.
