Kristin Chenowerth
Shoshaina Bean
Stephanie Blocke
one of those

Posted: 6/18/07 at 3:09pmNo one. The show should bow out gracefully when her contract ends and go from there with the tour and production in London.

Posted: 6/18/07 at 3:10pmYes, but if she were to be replaced...

Posted: 6/18/07 at 3:12pmI would like to see replacements to show off how good the piece truly is. It's always fascinating to see different takes on a role. As for whom, Just someone who can tackle the part well and sell some tickets!

I'm with Gypsy,
When she goes, they should just let it go.
Besides, Donna won't show up.
#7re: Who Do YOU Want to Replace Ebersole?
Posted: 6/18/07 at 3:16pmUgh. I just think Donna is an awful choice. She has absolutely no resemblance to Little Edie.

Posted: 6/18/07 at 3:17pmI think the show will end up closing when Ebersole's contract is up, but I'd love to see Victoria Clark.

Posted: 6/18/07 at 3:17pmDitto. It's not worth continuing on without her.

I could see Victoria Clark over Donna in the role.
But lets save Victoria for reprising her amazing performance as Sally Durant Plummer - another brilliant role.

Posted: 6/18/07 at 3:25pmBut it's such a fantastic show with a brilliant score and some fabulous supporting performances. I just don't want to see it leave so quickly.

If it's not worth it to continue on without her, then you have little faith in the show.
Raul Esparza should take over!

Posted: 6/18/07 at 3:40pmI would have loved to have seen Faith Prince, but that didn't happen.

Posted: 6/18/07 at 4:09pmWhen is she set to leave?

I think Clark is immensly talented, but totally wrong for the part...actually, Prince is the only one I can think of.
I think Maureen Moore should fill out the run...she deserves it.

I think Clark would be a brilliant fit for Edith in Act 1. But I don't she'd be as great a fit for Little Edit in Act 2 - though I'm sure she could pull it.
But like I said earlier - lets save her for the FOLLIES transfer!
