I absolutely do not think that Megan McGinnis should play Clara. I saw her her LW and thought she was wonderful, but I honestly don't think she could handle Clara's part. Maybe it was jiust the show, but that's my opinion. I don't think any of the LW cast could really play Clara, except for Jenny Powers (if they could get her a wig).
Oh well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. If they do happen to cast Megan (although I'm still hoping for JHW), I would go see her anyway.

Posted: 11/17/05 at 4:33pmOf course.Won't know for sure if she can handle it or not until we see it. (And plus, I still haven't actually seen the show itself. Dying to.)

Hey guys-
I saw the show again (#5) tonight.... still amazing......Ran into Bartlett Sher and Laura Griffith (the AMAZING dance captain, Franca u/s, whom I've seen as Franca twice) who swung out tonight to take notes, at intermission. Mr. Sher said that they have yet to find a Clara, which to me is a good sign, cause that mmeans she'll be all the moreamazing when they do find her. Jennifer Hughes will also apparently be on for a few performances as Clara after Kelli leaves. Either way, here's to the yet to be named amazing new Clara!

Posted: 11/18/05 at 2:21amI would adore Jennifer Hope Wills as Clara. When I worked at Wonderful Town we used to start entrance applause for her cause she deserved it more than Brooke Shields.
#135re: Who is the next Clara in Piazza???
Posted: 11/18/05 at 2:27amstanding o...did Jennifer Wills audition for the role? are you in touch with her still??? and as much as i love JHW , Brooke deserved her ovation every night...both Jen and Brooke and probably the rest of the cast of WT left their souls on that stage every single night.

My friend Katie Clarke from Sam Houston State University (down here in Texas) just signed the contract to replace Kelli O'Hara in The Light in the Piazza.
I can't believe it. I'm ecstatic. She hasn't even graduated yet!

Posted: 11/18/05 at 5:36pmWell, I hope it all works out, because I'll feel like a dip**** for posting that if it doesn't. But yeah.
#141re: Who is the next Clara in Piazza???
Posted: 11/18/05 at 5:38pmWhat what?!!
The key to the mystery of a great artist is that for reasons unknown, he will give away his energies and his life just to make sure that one note follows another... and leaves us with the feeling that something is right in the world.

If she signed the contract, then that means it DID work out. However, I have A VERY hard time believing thats true. They saw some new people this morning.

Posted: 11/18/05 at 5:44pmDoug, she JUST signed the contract this afternoon and I ran over here to tell you guys. Sorry if it sounds fishy, but I was super excited and I couldn't believe little Katie from podunk Texas got it. Our university is buzzing.

Whimsical,
What I meant was in response to your second post: "Well, I hope it all works out, because I'll feel like a dip**** for posting that if it doesn't. But yeah. "
If she has signed the contract, that means its worked out, signed, sealed, done. And if there is any chance it WON'T work out, that means she has NOT signed the contract.

And what I really meant by "I hope it works out" is really "I hope I'm not mistaken and she's replacing an understudy that's being moved up to Clara." Because that would make more sense, right? I know this is odd.
Well, either way it's exciting for our university. :)

Posted: 11/18/05 at 6:04pmDoes Katie have a website? (Her name is not really all that googlable.)
