Who has seen her in her debut week? How does she fit in the role and what tricks is she doing? Would love to hear your opinions.

I never saw Andrea Martin in the role, so I have no baseline to compare Annie Potts with, but I thought she was really great! I saw her on only her second or third performance, but I thought she was in very good voice, handled the humor of the role quite well, and especially the physicality of "No Time At All." The audience absolutely loved her! Tremendous applause after her song! I think she's a perfectly lovely replacement!

Annie Potts is wonderful. I don't think she turns in a show-stopping performance like Andrea did, but she sounds great and handles the tricks quite well.

I was lucky enough to catch her in "God of Carnage" about 4 years ago and she was absolutely hilarious. Had great comic timing and stage energy.

Saw her last week and thought she was really good. Way better than Tovah (who just seems like she takes herself WAY too seriously). She handles the part (and all of it's 'parts') quite well.

Enjoyed the show at least as much as the first time. Rachel Bay Jones is stil the best thing about the show (IMHO)
