I LOVE MERLE, and I am really sad that this is her last day!. :(

I like Tracie too, I'm sure she'll rip up Take Me Or Leave!. But Merle is my fave Joanne, and her We're Okay and Tango: Maureen with Adam we're both the best I've ever seen!.

Mad props for Tracie though!. Sources tell me she's doing the tour too!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Isn't Rent closing in 2 months!.!.!.!?

Edit: Just googled it!.!.!.she's joining the cast on the 26th, which means she'll have a good 5 weeks or so in the cast!. (Sorry, I'm too tired to do the exact math!. :-P) I'm fine with it, I liked her in the movie!. She has a great voice, and plays Joanne kind of differently than most of the actresses have, which I like but some people might not!. The current Broadway cast didn't do very well at all at the Tony awards, which I can't really say is a fair interpretation of how good they are, but a new addition to the cast could make it better!.
Sorry, I kind of rambled there!. I didn't mean to type that much!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Cool! With Eden and Tracie they'll go out with a bang!

They picked the best opening and closing cast Maureens!. Idina and Eden!. Eden was Idina's standby in the OBC of Wicked, so now they have another connection!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Woot woot! I thought she was AWESOME in the movie!. :-) Kind of a short run for her though!. Maybe it is to get meat in the seats for the last shows!.!.!.though I would not think that was an issue!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
