Any new news?  Do we think that a replacement has been found/identified?

No

I saw Deborah Cox's name being thrown around in another thread (all speculation, of course). Since reading that, I can't get the idea out of my head. I LOVE Deborah Cox, and would pay top dollar just to see her read the phone book.

I enjoyed it once, but nothing special. If Deborah Cox were to join the cast, I would throw my money at it.

Granted, I’m not sure if she would be available unless her Pride calendar isn’t full this year

isn't Deborah Cox in the Children of Eden revival?

Arielle jacobs popped in my mind not too long ago. She’d be a great satine!

I would like to see someone younger in their 20s/30s. They have more energy and get sick less in most cases.

The show doesn't really any big name. But I suppose the part is more deserved for someone with "star power."

I think a Broadway up and comer would be great.

Ashley De La Rosa was the standby for Regina in Mean Girls and she was phenomenal. Star quality to spare. She'd be a great Satine.

 

Or, if they want more of a "name" how about Jasmine Cephas-Jones?

She’d never do it, but I’d kill to see Lena Hall take it on.

My vote is for Ciara Renée or MJ Rodriguez!  They're both super cool women of color who have the perfect star quality and confidence the role exudes.  Also I second Ashley de la Rosa - she would be amazing in the role!

[Sutton Ross]

Jasmine Cephas-Jones would be perfection!

Though she can do pretty much anything, I think Solea Pfeiffer could also be especially great in this role.

Thinking about it, I could also see Rachelle Ann Go doing this, though London would be more likely.

Stop. She'd be magnificent. Great in everything she does. Can't wait for Almost Famous.

This is an inspired idea. She'd be incredible. 

I don't see the producers spending any money on a "name" at this point- neither Olivo or Tveit got butts in the seats, it was the material, and will continue to be. I'd love to see someone like De La Rosa or Ciara Renee (whose career deserves a post-Covid bump).

I think (I hope) Solea Pfeiffer's career will explode big time. She's an amazing talent.

Any word on ALMOST FAMOUS? Is it dead or still happening?

Loretta Swit perhaps?

The spectacle of the show is the star. They don’t need a name to increase costs. I’ve never had a good experience seeing Deborah Cox live. I’d never pay to see her again. Saw her in J & H and Bodyguard. Flat, off key and marking her choreography.

I’d like to see Jackie Hoffman play Satine.

Yes.

I know nothing about either of them, but the simplest solution for the show might be to promote the standby (Ashey Loren) or the understudy (Amber Ardolino) if the actresses are interested and have done well when/if they went on.  Has anybody seen either of them?

Oh I love the idea of Ciara Renee! She got, what? 3 weeks to star in Frozen? That’s terrible. It would be awesome if she got to come back to Broadway in an even juicier role. She’s great. And was the best part of The Wrong Man at MCC, despite having maybe 10 minutes onstage. 
 

So, for Satine: my top picks are Ciara Renee, Ashley De La Rosa, and Jasmine Cephas Jones. In no particular order. Each would be great. 
 

As much as I’d love Solea Pfeiffer and I know she’d be stunning in Moulim Rouge, that girl is always in demand. She does show, after show, after show. I think after building up such an impressive resume thus far she’d want her Broadway debut to be in her own original role. Which she deserves. Almost Famous will likely be that moment for her and it will be a great arrival of an already acclaimed actress making her mark on Broadway at last.
