She stepped in after Sheridan had to leave the show early in its run for personal reasons. I won’t get into the particulars here as it’s all based on gossip, but I do wonder if Broadway producers would be hesitant to give her a lead in a musical."
Her dad just died. I think Sheridan could of 'handled' it better
I will say having seen a clip of her (Lauren) she has a nice operatic voice. And her acting is great. I really hope she gets the tony. But there a many that can do this and do it better. Like Laura
Personally Funny Girl should be produced with Lauren because she will be perfect.
