Waitress Casting

who do you think will replace sara bareilles when she leaves next month? 

Unless it's a box office name, probably no one.  There's no reason for the producer to keep it open and lose SVOG money once the show is filmed.

LOL.

I would love to see Alison Luff as Jenna again.

Hugh Jackman.

I feel like they'll almost certainly go for someone who already played the role (on Bway or Tour) or give Stephanie her well deserved promotion to lead...

If not, I'd personally love to see Lindsay Mendez, Jackie Burns or Caissie Levy (or really any ex-Elphaba for that matter).

And it's definitely not happening, but a country music star like Jennifer Nettles or Kacey Musgraves would've been very interesting to see... And perhaps somewhat random choices, but someone more pop could work too, like Tori Kelly or Brandy...

Rent as Jenna."

I think about that person who suggested Emmy for Mimi nearly everyday. I hope they’re doing well."

Oh was it Mimi? I totally didn’t remember

I hope it's at least an actress who hasn't done the role already.

I would love to see Kacey sing What Baking Can Do.

I always wondered how Jennifer Nettles would be as Jenna.
