I met Kelli last week and she said that they are not offering the role to either understudy and no one else has been chosen.

If it makes you feel better to know, Jen had 2 very important call backs last week. She wouldn't tell me what they were for (bad luck), but one most likely was for Piazza. Fingers crossed.

My only concern about Megan McGinnis would be the physicality. I was under the impression that one of the reasons Celia Keenan-Bolger wasn't kept on for the Broadway cast was that she looked too young, and I'm not sure that Megan would look older than Celia.

I'm sure once a decision is made the powers that be at BWW will announce it or at least provide a link.

Clara is 26yo ...it can be played by Kelli, Celia ,Megan or Jennifer Hope Wills...and i hope she gets the role....Jennifer can act, dance and hit any high note...she would blow my mind im sure, she never had the chance to play a dramatic role on Broadway.

Garland Grrl-

Dana Caruso, who I believe plays a mama and understudies Tzeitel in Fiddler, might be a little too old.... there are, however, a few other girls in Fiddler who I could DEFINITELY see as Clara.

Though she is stunning as Franca and I'd hate to lose her there, I think Sarah Berry could play an amazing Clara.

who is Sarah Berry???

oh yeah!!! she is wonderful...and she is soooooooo pretty...but it seems they don't want to hire any of the understudies for the role, besides she has an important part in the show already. She would be my pick after Jennifer Wills.

Nah? Nah what? Nah she wasn't a good Belle? I think you've confused me. Of course, that could have more to do with the 3 hours of sleep I got last night than anything else!

I think they will be casting a female right? Ok, just kidding... Could not help myself... It's Monday and I hate work!

[Doogie]

Posted: 11/14/05 at 4:02pm

no... NOT Shoop for Clara. EVER.

the girls I'm thinking of (one has left the show) weren't principals.

PS- Errico could do Franca.

LOL....i can't see Laura Shoop as Clara...but she was the best daughter in Fiddler i thought...she was brilliant.

I like her too, but she's very sturdily built... not to say she's fat AT ALL... she's thin, but she is a TALL girl.
