To all: As many of you are aware, there is currently a strike by musicians that has
caused the shutdown of many Broadway shows, including all but one musical
(“Cabaret”, which is unaffected by this strike). Since it looks like this
strike will be a considerable one coupled with a looming strike next year by
Broadway actors, this possibly brings in a new candidate to replace either
Elisabeth Rohm on “Law & Order” or Stephanie March on “Special Victims
Unit” as the Assistant District Attorney that I would not have thought of
otherwise. Her name is Sutton Foster, who for the past two years I believe has been the
lead in the Broadway musical “Thoroughly Modern Millie”, a stage version of
the 1967 film that she won a Tony Award for if I remember correctly last year.
Anyone like her who could be trusted with the lead in a $10 million musical
like that I think has to be a serious candidate if Dick Wolf is familiar with
her work on Broadway, which he should considering how many Broadway actors have
appeared in the “L & O franchise” over the years. She’s I believe 28, and
would be exactly the kind of “newcomer” (in this case to the small screen)
that probably would excel in the role of the ADA, and also has the looks that
would keep a lot of male viewers (who do care about “eye candy”) happy. Thoughts?
