I love Donna Marie Asbury, the current understudy. If she goes on, I will be there. She's a true triple threat and really amazing as a performer.
I think Rachelle Rak, Molly Tynes (what a fabulous choice!!!!) could also be pretty awesome.
Can Krysta Rodriguez dance?? I kind of think she'd be some kind of wonderful.

Posted: 8/17/14 at 12:14pmConsidering Krysta was a replacement Bebe in 'A Chorus Line' and in a heavy-dancing track (and understudied Vanessa) in 'In the Heights' I assume her dancing is up to par.

Posted: 8/17/14 at 12:54pmI've seen both Stephanie Pope and Donna Marie Asbury as Velma on tour, and they were both terrific.

"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Posted: 8/17/14 at 11:20pmThat video of Laura Bell and Asmeret was fantastic! I'd love to see her back on the boards. She could probably attract an audience now with her country background.
