Wedding Singer Rumor — Page 2

Boy, if Tina Maddigan didn't get bumped up to full status if the show lasted to replacements, there would be many a thread that would be pretty upset.

This sparks an interest, though, in that if the show were to survive long enough to get replacements, they would have to be stunt casting. When capacity is that low, sometimes stunt casting brings it back to life. Bah. Bring on the A-list celebs.

gustof777, now Kat Mcphee would actually be a REALLY good julia I love her, and she can ACTUALLY sing- and i bet she really can act too! hehe

though.. I still say kat needs to do elphie in Wicked before Wedding Singer. She'd be SO AMAZING. but... thats getting off topic :P haha (for the record, the thought of her doing the MOVIE of wicked, NOT GOOD. That's idina's for the taking. haha)

I figured something like this was going to happen. Haylie is in Hairspray, so now Hilary wants in on the Broadway world.

You know who would be the most upset about this? Haylie.

"Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!"

The Duff sisters are very close, and they really seem to have a healthy relationship. Hilary always seems to push Haylie's career. I doubt Haylie would be upset if Hilary makes her Broadway debut. But I don't see Hilary joining The Wedding Singer anytime soon(unfortunate for their box office)

Close the piece of crap already.

Will somebody please just make that family go away?

Eh, sorry, Liz. Duff luck.





Oh my. I laughed at my own joke right there.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit reading this.

I think I would have to kill myself if this ever happeed.

I loathe Hilary Duff with a passion only reserved for talentless makeup-caked drama queen Disney stars. She is possibly one of the least talented people in Hollywood and honestly, I would never see a show she was in. I love The Wedding Singer and not only is she too young to play anyone in that show, she would ruin it. She does not have the talent to do it. Maybe wiht the help of lots and lots of computer work her voice can sound maybe competent, but she's going to have to be on-stage every night and actualy sing LIVE with no digital help. She'd never make it.

I love The Wedding Singer very very much and that's why it's so extreme, but true, for me to say that I would rather see it close than see Hilary Duff even make it into the ensemble.

Muscle I am all for bringing people into the theater but not at the cost of putting in people who do not deserve to be on Broadway. There is no way in hell that Hilary Duff should EVER be on a Broadway stage. Her concert was the most horrendous thing I have ever been to (I had to take my little sister and her friends...not fun) She can barely sing more than say 5 notes has all the charisma of a stick and she clearly was lip syncing a bunch of the songs.Sorry but I love Broadway and theater WAY too much to not get annoyed when I hear that they are in talks of letting Hilary Duff on a Broadway stage. I'm not saying that you don't love theater and as I said I get that sometimes you have to do this to keep people coming in...but I think Haylie as Amber, a character who as someone on another thread said, has about 20 minutes total of stuff to do is a completley different situation and you can't compare. It is not as if she's playing Tracy or even a more vocally demanding part like Penny. I have not seen her so I can't say wether she's good or bad but let's say it's a worse case scenario: she is god awful and can't sing or act...it's not a good thing but it won't take away from the show because she's not that big of a part...she comes out does her schtick, the people come to the theater in hoards the 10 year olds scream and love it and decide that they wanna do that someday too and in addition to screaming for Haylie they are won over by the cast who are all trained and hard working stage actors...and everyone goes home happy. Hilary as even Holly or even worse Julia would be abominable and theres no way in hell her voice could take 8 shows a week...let alone two! With a part that big you couldn't hide the fact that she was sub par...I could possibly see her losing fans who went and saw her as I witnessed when I saw her in concert (ie: people walking out saying "good lord she cannot sing live") I love the cast of Wedding Singer and want them to keep thier jobs for as long as possible but having Hilary replace Laura is in my opinion is just tasteless and I would rather see the cast move on to bigger and better things than be stuck in the wings every night watching Duff attempt to get through "Come Out of the Dumpster"

I hate Hilary and I would loss all respect for the show if she came to it, or any show for that matter. I would personaly have a good show die good and with respect, than die without respect.

---

well to me the fact that the show is not that well written of a show is all the more reason to make sure the cast is top notch. It hides the flaws in the book or score if you have a cast who can deliver the lines realistically.

---

WTF? I love the show but look at it's gross and attendance it's not doing that well and probably will close after Stephen leaves...so yes while it's still open I want to see it maintain it's great talented cast...so are you saying that we should just love EVERY show on Broadway and let anyone on just so we can keep people employed? Sorry, but I'd rather make sure that Broadway has standards.
