Sounds like another winner. Not sure about McCormack, but hey, you never know and Stroman has worked with him before.
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)
Thrilled about Mullally, not so much about Foster.
Yankee, that's not uncommon. Television pays more and gives more exposure than Broadway. And didn't we come up with the Andrea Martin idea on this board?

Yeah, but TV is significantly more finnicky. Here today, gone tomorrow when the ratings dip. Theater is generally the same, but it's a Mel Brooks show.

I think for the possibility of the kind of exposure TV can give, a lot of actors think it's worth the risk. You also have to remember that while actually being on a show that succeeds is what gives exposure to audiences, auditioning, getting cast, etc. regardless of ratings once you do is what gets your name out within the industry.
It's great that Sutton keeps getting new shows, but I’m starting to wonder if she’ll ever be a replacement in anything again. It’s just so weird that she’s in the original cast for four shows in a row. Updated On: 3/9/07 at 09:48 AM
I saw McCormack in Music Man and he was fine. Assuming that the score will be typical Mel Brooks, and McCormack isn't expected to pull off an eleven o'clock number like Betrayed, he should be OK in this role.

Because Sutton never replacing again just kills so many fantasy casting threads.
Sutton as Mary P Sutton as Elphaba Sutton as Galinda Sutton as Fantine Sutton as Cassie Sutton as Bobby in Company
etc...

I didn’t say it was bad, but you must admit it’s highly unusual.
It’s just weird that she’s had the opportunity to originate four roles IN A ROW. It’s just not something that happens a lot, even for the most respected/talented Broadway actors.
If Foster can keep landing original roles in big musicals, why would she ever want choose to be a replacement? The time may come, but she's doing so incredibly well now, it's a wonderful thing to see!
As far as TV...as much as I would think making it on a Broadway stage is the end all for some, I'm sure once you've "made it", it's similar to other jobs where you just feel that it's time to move around and experience other things. I think that there's the feeling of being able to "fall back" on Broadway if TV fails for them, which is kind of unfortunate but appears to be true.

I agree. I just find it amazing that she keeps landing original roles. Of course her talent comes into it (big time), but so does an amazing string of luck.
Let me clarify: I find it amazinng luck that she's landed four original roles in a row. Updated On: 3/9/07 at 10:01 AM
