I really miss her voice. What show do we think she'll do next? Any dream-casting suggestions? I'd love to see entire Hamilton OBC do an Into The Woods revival, with Soo as Cinderella. (I have the full casting in my mind, if anyone's curious. It fits almost too perfectly to be coincidental)
She could be a great Cathy in The Last Five Years as well.

I mean... sure
Christopher Jackson - Narrator Leslie Odom Jr - Baker Renee Elise Goldsberry - Baker's wife (and Jack's mom?) Anthony Ramos - Jack Pippa - Cinderella Jasmine Cephas Jones - Little Red (and also Rapunzel, actually - doubt cast) Daveed Diggs - Price #1 Lin - Price #2, Oak - The Wolf
Jonathan Groff plays the witch, I guess :). Groff would be very well suited for Price #1, with Daveed as Price #2, but I don't know who will play the witch otherwise. Haha
ANYWAY. Pippa. My Fair Lady replacement?

I don’t think she’ll be in My Fair Lady, but not because it means she’d be replacing Laura. These are two grown women who happened to have married the same guy (years apart). I don’t get why people assume they must hate each other.

She's mentioned she tried to audition for the revival of MY FAIR LADY and was told "they were not interested."

I don't know her work outside of Hamilton, Great Comet, and Amelie. Are you saying she's not funny because she has mostly been in serious/quirky roles? Or have you seen her failing at humor?
Good point about the TV show.

They are both highly successful Broadway actresses, I doubt they care about each other's personal lives. I was just saying that whomever comes after Laura has very, very big shoes to fill. I don't pin women against women, especially because of some man. Sorry for the confusion.

No, I have only seen her in her Broadway roles. I think there have been chances to add humor in her roles and she just doesn't do it. I am not surprised that they were not interested in her Eliza, though.
