I just heard she had her put in today and it starts during the St. Paul stop.
Megahann was in the closing cast on Broadway.

It's not yet known if she's doing just this one stop or if Emma Hunton is leaving. Either way, the role is in great hands because both young ladies are phenomenal.

If this is true, I will be so mad. I'm seeing the final performance in Chicago, so I will be seeing Emma's final performance. I'm sure I'll love her performance and she'll be giving a great final performance, but I absolutely love Meghann and would do anything to see her. If I could, I would buy tickets to St. Paul and drive all the way up there. This just shows what kind of luck I have. I do wonder, however, why Emma would leave the tour with less than three months and how this would happen so suddenly. While she did play the role on Broadway, having only four days of rehearsal before going in does seem awfully quick.

I was eager to see Emma's take when it comes to Philadelphia but considering how amazing Meghann is, I can't complain about whatever happens!

Meghann is great, amazing in fact. I enjoyed her better than Damiano. However, people on these boards were really nasty to Meg when she started.

It's just for the next stop of the tour!

Meghann is just doing the two weeks in MN while Emma does a workshop in NY.

Meghann's Natalie is incredible.

I wish Meghann would continue into the Cleveland stop in June...she was marvelous when I saw her in the final Broadway performance.

I am so incredbily jealous of anyone seeing her in St. Paul. She has always been my favorite Natalie, and to see her in the middle of a few different performances of Emma's would be a breath of fresh of air. Emma is clearly a wonderful talent, but I've only seen her a few times and I'm already a bit bored with her. I saw Meghann a number of times on Broadway, and never once got that feeling with her.

She is ok. I prefer Emma and Jenn over her but she is alright. Updated On: 5/7/11 at 02:45 PM

Meghann is a great Natalie. Very similar to Jenn Damiano.

Oh, she is not taking over for Alice? Too bad.

^hahahaha

Meghann Fahy is most def my favorite Natalie, though Emma is very good too. St. Paul is very lucky to have her!!

I thought she was lazy and not nearly as vocally strong as Jennifer.
