Doesn't mean she's not doing it on Broadway, but it could be that she was available for a reading and they want a bigger name for Broadway. Who knows. (The show might not even make it to Broadway, despite announcing its intentions.)
She had one of the lead roles in the Encores' production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Pipe Dream, their biggest financial flop, but a show from which some very good songs could be excavated.
Leslie played Fauna, the owner of the local bordello, who was mother-figure to her girls and to the "bums" who hung out on Cannery Row. I thought she was fine in a fairly difficult role.
