Wedding Singer Rumor

She is way too young for any role in the show.

---

Well, she will sell the show out and it will have a longer run. So I hope it happens. And she may want to prove that she's better than her sister, so I think she'll do it.
Edit: I do hate her though, I just want the show to do well.

UGGGG pleeease no!!! lol. That would take what is an AMAZING show with an AMAZING cast and... totally destroy it. lol. I mean, I actually really do like some of hilary's music believe it or not, but.. just no.lol. She doesn't have the acting OR singing chops really for broadway- especially singing-wise I think because the majority of her music is soooo synthesized and you can soooo tell its not her singing. And it'd just.. totally be selling out wedding singer, and thats not fair. No.. celebs need to stay out of my beloved broadway shows... unless its like.. someone who actually has the talent for broadway, which is NOT many celebs.

although.. okay, the thought of her playingg HOLLY isn't quite so bad... but I mean come on... after seeing the goddess of broadway Amy Spanger do it? Nope. even that's not for me. haha

100% agree with somethingwicked. She is only 18 years old and I am sure that the part they want her to play is Julia. She is WAY to young to play her. Let her replace her sister in Hairspray once Haylie leaves.

Stunt casting can keep a show open for a long time, so I say, go for it.

^true, that! lynch is I believe going to be 35 in like less than a week... though he LOOKS no older at ALL than 20, its still gross to think about. haha

then again, when laura was in sound of music she was 18 and richard chamberlain was...um...much,much, MUCH older. haha, but I mean sound of music kind of lends itself to that huge difference in age (one of the few turn offs of the story haha) wheras wedding singer does NOT. They're SUPPOSED to be the same age

how old is Julia supposed to be?

---

I'm not sure how long anyone's contract is - I heard April, I think. But I've got a feeling the show won't last long enough for those contracts to be up, especially if they are up in April. So I don't know if they'll have a chance to bring anyone else in.

yeah, julia at least is supposed to be 26, laura said so herself in one of the broadway beat videos so I assume robbie's right around there too. Lynch is actually a liittle bit technically oldish for the role, but again, he looks SOO freaking young it really doesn't matter haaha

I know but at least Haylie is decently talented...although many will debate and you know I'm all for keeping a show going but I really was hoping Wedding Singer wouldn't belittle itself by bringing in talentless pop stars like Duff. Now I wouldn't like it but I could deal with an Idol-er maybe Kat McPhee if she could act it? Who knows? All I know is that I would lose a lot of respect for this show if they brought Hilary in who as many of you said is way too freaking young and one of the best things about the show is the 80's-ness of it. Duff was barely born in the 80's! I think that one of the reasons I love the show so much is how energetic and kick ass the cast is. This show will fall apart when you bring in less than top notch cast members b/c it's not a well written enough show to have the material suffice a bad performance. Not that this would really matter b/c Duff would bring in the teeny boppers in droves but I have a lot more respect the show and I honestly don't see it running after Lynch leaves so if Julia, Amy and the original cast cuz just stick it out, which I'm sure they can cuz they are amazing than the show can just end on a good note w/ all amazing performers intact. Hate to say it but we need the space for all the new shows coming in.

i would go to see her and ofcourse Stephen Lynch again.

at least stephen acts really young normally. and laura plays the role great! i dont think hilary could handle it at all! and im not a fan of celebrities going to broadway. very few are actually good at it because its live. theres no re-dos and no lip syncing. worst idea ever! ha ha. I cant picture hilary in any role whatsoever. not even the ensemble.
