Who do you think should get Audrey? — Page 2

That doesn't add up to "deserves," those are all subjective points of view. "Deserves" implies that objective criteria lead to no other conclusion.

So you mean she "deserves" to be cast in a professional gig because she has had relationship troubles? Is that a column on audition sheets? Granted, I've never heard of an actor having troubles in his or her personal life... so maybe you're right.

There is no 'should.' This is not little league where every kid who signs up should get to play.

Why are people acting like Kerry's some grizzled veteran who' done it all? She's created one role in a Broadway show and got a great deal of acclaim that went far above what the character seems to be on paper. Before that she had done some work as a replacement cast member in some of the warhorses and created a role in an off-Broadway show, pretty similar to Finley's career at this point who has done 'Aida,' 'The Last Five Years' and 'The Life.' They're BOTH up and comers on the brink of becoming bigger stars. But there can only be one Audrey.

Is the point of this thread to actually let people discuss what they feel or just to let 'LilFinley' repeatedley say 'I want Finley to get it because she would be great' until they're blue in the face?

No one's insulting Felicia, just some people want to see Kerry in the role -- just as others want to see Felicia. But turning the whole thing into some impish blathering about who 'should' or who 'deserves' something is a waste of everyone's time and thought.

Who is more suited to the role?
That can not be used as a fact. Who is better suited is totally subjective. One director could think a person was born to play the role, another director woud laugh if you mentioned the same person for the same role.

btw,
Last5Yrs, I LOVE the pic of Barrett. Isn't he just adorable? You just wanna pinch those cheeks! (at both ends)

Felicia Finley was never in The Last Five Years. That was Lauren Kennedy (Illinois) and Sherie Rene Scott (New York), but I can understand the mix up considering their all skinny blondes.

John Popa, no one else is complaining about LilFinley's posts except you. No one cares if she repeats her ideas. Just let it go

Kerry is going to have to choose between The Little Mermaid and Little Shop. If I was her, I'd choose The Little Mermaid. I mean, it's Disney! lol. Her publicity and the trimmings that go along with a Disney Broadway Show are there.

BwayGuy2, yes those pale beautiful dimples. I would love to pinch, but I'd rather have his big strong arms wrapped around me! hehehehe (tries not to think dirty thoughts, im a good catholic boy, im a good catholic boy)

Whatever floats your boat

When did Disney say this? I want a link. 5 different people who work at Aida told me their preparing the Palace Theater for The Little Mermaid to come in June.

Alright! Not big. But strong. Look at my picture! Those sleeves are about to bust! His arms are lethal weapons! ow ow

Aida has been funning for some years and has still not made back it's investment. There is talk of Aida closing when Toni bows out.

I have heard that th EARLIEST it would come in is June 2004. Heard more?? Why? I am sure Disney is trying to keep most details underwraps -- they did keep the reading closed.

As for Barrett, I love that pic of him! Oh, to be that stuffed toy for five minutes. I wonder if Barrett is seeing anyone now......

Aida isnt closing! They are moving it to another house! A smaller one! Disney isnt going to close it just yet!

AIDA's grosses according to Playbill range from 70% attendance to 85% over the past 6 months (and it's been up the past couple weeks as most every other show has been.) But the rumor is that the show costs too much to run and is still in the red. I'm not sure where you'd be getting a number as low as 20%, though.

In June 2004? From the company that brings you movie previews 18 months in advance?

As a long time Felicia fan and friend, I think she'd be amazing as Audrey, Kerry while another favorite doesn't quite have the needed air of heartbreaking failure in the role, I'd love t ohear her sing the stuff, look I'm more upset they are keeping Hunter, and YES, I saw the show in Florida and he was one of the problems, why they booted Alice when she was the main problem is beyonnd me, and it's nice to be back!

For the swimming scenes, wouldn't they do something like in Aida with the swimming pool? How are they going to make Ariel look like a real mermaid without making her fins look fake like something out of the MGM show?
