Posted: 8/22/06 at 6:01pmI LOVED "SNF" and Orfeh. Really I did. Saw it a lot of times. Still sad that it closed.

Lesson learned! This is like an afterschool special, so next time give the Lady Maddigan a lil' love too! Heehee.
I never understood why Orfeh didn't join HAIRSPRAY because she'd truly rock in that show.

Posted: 8/22/06 at 6:06pmI'm guessing but I think she fell into too much of a gray area where the parts were concerned, not really right for either Amber, or Penny. although I'd kill to see her play Amber. Should we start an "Orfeh should play Amber" thread? JK!!!

Posted: 8/22/06 at 6:08pm"After school special", now that honestly made me lol weddedbliss. For the record, I'm a fan of Maddigan's and don't ever need to see wedding singer to KNOW, she's light years better than Benanti in the role. No brainer.

She was the best thing about SNF. I did like it for the fluff but she was AWESOME.
I only wish I could have seen her in other stuff.
She would make a good Evita?

Posted: 8/22/06 at 8:36pmShe would make a great Evita Jon and I think I'm being fair in saying, she was by far the best thing about Fever. I'd love to see her be great in something equally as great for a change.

Orfeh is uber talented.
Maybe not Amber, but give her 10 years and she would rock the role of Velma. I can hear her saying "Are you threatening me, Collins?"

Posted: 8/22/06 at 9:37pmOrfeh could join Wedding Singer and play Linda or Holly if the current ladies ever take a longer vacation then 1 week. She'd be "awesome".

Posted: 8/23/06 at 8:09amHolly would be inspired casting as well which most likely means, it will NEVER happen.

Posted: 8/23/06 at 3:13pm"inspired" and "casting", two words that should probably not be mentioned in the same sentence. There hasn't been all that much inspiration going on lately where theater casting is concerned, IMO.

Posted: 8/24/06 at 7:34amPhantom2, you really need a new hobby as you are honestly way over the top, or just have an excessive amount of free time.

Posted: 8/24/06 at 10:39amI Still say orfeh should be The lady of the lake in Spamalot.. that is a role made for her. And she'd also make one hell of an Elphaba.
