What's next for Piazza's Katie Clarke?

Anyone know? Such a fairy tale beginning to her professional career. I'm surprised she's not touring as Clara. I wonder if she was even considered.

While watching the telecast I couldn't help thinking she would make a great Elle Wood in "Legally Blonde"...

Im pretty sure all the current leads on Broadway were offered the tour; most turned it down because of the very unpersuasive contracts offered.

Buttercup in The Princess Bride, perhaps?

I'm pretty sure Laura Bell Bundy is Elle Woods in LEGALLY BLONDE.

I wouldn't be surprised of Clarke wound up understudying her.

I could see her as Glinda.

i'll bet a shiny quarter on the next wicked tour lineup to be miss clarke and victoria matlock.

I don't think her head voice is strong enough for Glinda, heck, it's not strong enough for Clara!

AMEN, freeadmission. I think she has a nice quality to her voice, but it needs a LOT more training so she's not reaching so much for notes, but "floating" over them. Her acting is quite good. I think she needs to take on a less demanding role in another b-way show and continue with her voice training. I think Katie has tremendous potential (heck, to graduate from college within the week you make your broadway debut is an accomplishment in itself). I just wouldn't want her to damage her voice by doing the wrong things.

Hell, she's starring in a show with one of the top vocal teachers(Vicki Clark) also Patti is another great vocal teacher.

If I were her, I would be taking lessons from Vicki. No doubt Vicki could help her a lot. And I'm sure after performing with her all the time, Vicki knows what her voice needs.

I hope she goes on to do a lot more.

To add to what Hanna was saying: If she continues with some vocal training (especially with the likes of Ms. Clark), she could very well be one of the best sopranos on Broadway in a very long time. I mean, shoot, she's only TWENTY-ONE right now and, for so young an age (vocally speaking) she has incredible skill! Tack on a little more training and, in a year or two, she could be up there with the best of the best!

The other end could also be in store...this could be the only gig she gets for a long time. I mean, you've all said it, she isn't ready for alot of roles BECAUSE she was so young coming into Broadway...so sometimes that helps and hurts you.

I think it will be a long time before we see Katie Clark in a Broadway Show for a while. Tour maybe, Off Broadway/regional maybe...in fact yeah probably. but not the big show.

DIET???? That's just rude. Katie Clarke is BEAUTIFUL and does NOT need to lose weight. Please, statements like that are why so many actresses have eating disorders!

Etiquette lessons for CurtainPullDowner, perhaps?

Her acting is more than good. Watch the scene where she's waiting to show Margaret her wedding dress and veil and overhears the phone conversation between Roy and Margaret. That's a wonderful bit of acting seen during the telecast and in the performances I've seen her in...

I think she's a better actress than O'Hara, thought I didn't agree with her choices.

Katie could lose ten or twenty pounds.

I think some of you nutrition experts might be a bit surprised if you managed to catch Katie on one of her marathon Central park jogging sessions.

Sure, she could technically lose ten or twenty pounds, but does she need to? Absolutely not.

Some of these people disgust me.

I saw her in Piazza in December and her weight was fine. The televised production last week did make her look heavier. In fact, I was kind of surprised at just how MUCH heavier she looked on TV. I guess she just has one of those bodies that isn't necessarily made for TV!
