And can anyone else imagine Jane McDonald as Dorothy- she'd be perfect, the confidence and diva-ness would ooze out of her! *fingers crossed*

She was on on Monday and for both shows again today if the internet is to be believed! From the cast boards I've seen online there seem to be quite a few understudies on at the moment.

Saw Hannah at yesterday’s matinee - she was just superb!. Clare’s a very hard act to follow but boy did Hannah give her a run, an amazing, polished performance. This show never fails, just wish the adudiences were bigger at the moment. It was quiet for a metinee.

Surprising considering I heard the reason she left in the first place was because she was unhappy with how she was treated as a Standby compared to Sheena. What happened with CJ? CJ left at Cast change (Mar 17th) She is currently back for a short time whilst she is standby for Steph. |

They will probably want to get a "name" in for the fall and holidays Yes they have a name known both for TV & Theatre roles. (Not Jane McDonald) I think she will make a good Dorothy. Watch out tomorrow for a 42nd St press release! |

Now that Lulu has left (which is a shame) and Steph has taken over, has a new standby been announced for Maggie/Dorothy? CJ Johnson is back as her Standby |

I really want it to be Tracie Bennett.
I also would love to see it be Catherine Zeta Jones. Because firstly she's great, but it would be a lovely full-circle moment for her. I think she'd be great in the role.

All good guesses but none of the above! I would have loved to have seen TB do the role but it is not. She is currently on TV ;-)

Whoever it is, I hope we get more of a Sheena style than a Lulu style in terms of costuming!
I have a feeling this casting will be someone who has gotten fame but has always been someone to tread the boards for years. At least that's what I hope. Someone who knows what they are doing!

All I'll say is it may be worth you 42nd Street fans staying up another hour for the Baz news, because he broke the news of Lulu and Ashley, and this star is big enough to justify him announcing it.
