Since Kristen is leaving, who do we want to take on the role?
I could really see Laura Osnes playing it.

I think Osnes reads as a tad too young. There are better people out there for the role. Though, I thought she was spectacular in SOUTH PACIFIC.
Jen Cody.

Posted: 6/23/10 at 6:37pmYes, but opposite Sean Hayes, it would seem creepy.

Kristin leaves September 26th.
I vote for Scarlett Johanssen.

Posted: 6/23/10 at 7:13pmLaura Osnes is my choice, but she has no box office power.

Posted: 6/23/10 at 10:11pmI think Osnes would be a fine choice, but I imagine they'll try to get someone with box office clout.

Yes, let's keep the tradition of this production going and let the producers continue to cast this production not with performers who are actually right for the role but with performers who will guarantee that they make back all their money and then some regardless of whether the performer is right for the part or not. Who cares as long they pack them in, right? Will they like the show or not? What do they care, they got their butts in the seats and their money as well.
So to that end I suggest: MEGAN MULLALLY.

Posted: 6/23/10 at 10:19pmI don't think any "name" actresses will want to replace in that role anyway. It's definitely Chuck's show.

Posted: 6/23/10 at 10:22pmMarquise: So if you were a producer, you would make a conscious choice to put somebody in a show that you knew wouldn't sell tickets? You're cool with losing a ton of money? I don't get it.

No. As a producer I would cast someone who would sell tickets and was talented enough and right for the part.

Right off the bat I would have given that part to Anne Hathaway. Who not only would bring in audiences but has the chops to pull it off and is right for the part.

Posted: 6/23/10 at 10:45pmToo bad because I feel she would have been excellent in the role, but seeing as Chuck is really the star of the show I would have cast "Fran" with someone who was right for the part and cast Chuck with someone who was not only a big draw but appropriate for the role.

She really needs to be the next Fran. Definitely the appropriate age and look.
