Posted: 8/14/09 at 6:18amOMG my girlfriend says that Laura Bell Bundy (MY FAVORITE!) may join ROCK OF AGES!. Does anybody know anything about this? I saw her in the LA show and she was so funny and AWESOME! I loved Legally Blonde!

I haven't heard anything of the sort...
It could happen, I guess, since she played the role in LA.

As much as I would flipping LOVE that.. I would kinda rather have Savannah extend.

Posted: 8/14/09 at 9:45amHaven't heard those rumors at the theatre at all. Plus, I think LBB has been taking a break from acting. She's even moved back to TN and is concentrating on her company TAKE IT FROM THE TOP.

Posted: 8/14/09 at 11:19amHer voice was got pretty destroyed during Legally Blonde, and considering that this show messed up Amy...I doubt that Laura would do it.

Posted: 8/14/09 at 12:17pmLaura Bell had a sit down meet and greet when Legally Blonde came to Nashville. She said that she is focusing on her carrer as a country singer, she should have an album out by november, and she will "hopefully start touring by January."

Posted: 8/14/09 at 12:46pmI can see how she's perfect for ROA. An unremarkable performer in an unremarkable show.
....but the world goes 'round
#12re: Is Laura Bell Bundy returning to ROCK OF AGES?
Posted: 8/14/09 at 12:51pmThat might actually get me to see it live. She's underrated, IMO, she's really charming, and her voice (before it got strained) in LB was actually pretty decent.

I really like Savannah in the role. I hoping it's not true.
Amy didn't fit the part, and I don't think Laura would, either.
Jekyll & Hyde back on Broadway! / Rock of Ages - 5 Tony nominations! Awesome!

Posted: 8/14/09 at 3:11pmBlue, Laura fits the role.. she originated the role. Nonetheless, I'd rather pry my eyes out with a spoon and soak the sockets in salt than watch Laura bell Bundy in that show.

Especially if her voice is as jacked up as people say. I saw the show last January and didn't notice any particular vocal problems but I'll take people's word for it.

Posted: 8/14/09 at 4:03pmI saw LBB the second night of the Nashville tour stop of Legally Blonde. Frist (and last) time I've seen the show, and her voice was...well, not up to par. That could also be from the cast party they had the night before. From what one of the crew told me, she had fun. Who else was in ROA pre-broadway tryout?

Posted: 8/14/09 at 9:35pmFlower, whoever told you that is full of crap. Just talked to Laura myself. Not true.

Posted: 8/15/09 at 12:53amI know nothing about LBB coming back but I do know that Savannah is not renewing her contract. She will be appearing in another BWay show in the Fall...

Posted: 8/15/09 at 1:16am^While that may be true....wouldn't she have just signed a brand new contract when she took OVER the role a short time ago? (Granted, it could have been a short contract...)
