LOVE that Bailey won!

I ran the regional HQ for McCain in Greenville/Spartanburg and had an event in Anderson, so it's so crazy that I know the small, small town that she's from too.

Snaps to her. :p

Straight from playbill news:

Finalists Autumn Hurlbert, Rhiannon Hansen and Lauren Zakrin have all been cast in either the Broadway production or the first national tour of the musical, which launches in Providence, RI, Sept. 23.

Hurlbert, the first runner-up in the competition, will understudy the role of Elle Woods on Broadway and will perform in the ensemble. Zakrin, the youngest contestant on the reality show, will understudy the tour's Elle Woods, Becky Gulsvig, and will also be a member of the ensemble. And, Hansen will play the role of Margot, Elle's best friend, on tour.

oh wow!!! I used to coach a girl who was a GPhiB at Coastal!! She just graduated last year so they may know each other!

Well I for one am glad that they all got a role somehow. Getting the "foot in the door" is always the hardest part.

That's awesome that Autumn will understudy, which means at some point she will get to do the role on Broadway (I say that because in reality Bailey, being human, will get sick or lose her voice, hence understudy comes in). I wonder if shows have ever had to use an understudy for an understudy? Sorry pardon my crazy thoughts. LOL.

I wanted Autumn to win, but I was honestly thrilled that it was between her and Bailey. I had liked Bailey from the beginning. I really just didn't want Rhiannon. Something about Rhiannon's voice just bothered me.

This is really random, but I was watching an old episode of Clean House on the Style Network a couple nights ago and Cassie S.'s family was on it. It took me a couple minutes to figure out where I recognized her from, but then I realized. I guess she really likes being on reality TV......?

Kind of along the same lines, I SWEAR that's Celina during the opening of the Sex and the City movie. Am I crazy, or did anyone else see her in there? (she's walking by and turns around and smiles at I think Carrie, they might have bumped into each other or something)

And I fell out of touch with the last 3 or 4 weeks of the show, but I was glad to hear that Bailey won, too!

Yes that is Celina in the SATC movie. And the orginal Margot is in it too. Celina represents the younger version of Miranda. You'll notice four young women are walking past Carrie. There is someone else from Broadway but I can't remember.

Okay prior to the MTV show I honestly knew nothing about the musical (like I hadn't bought the songs or listened to them). Now, I seriously dying to see this musical!!!!!

That's kindof sad for Bailey but I'm sure she'll find it a lot easier to land roles on Broadway after headlining.
