Why doesn't Anneliese Van Der Pol work more?!

Methinks Brooke only read the title of the thread...

Wouldn't she be an amazing Sally Bowles?? I also wish she would come back to NYC (in anything!)

"I'm curious about something. How well has she worked with others in previous shows? To what extent does that matter, when it comes to casting a show? I'm sure there's a grapevine where such things are talked about. The only thing I remember about her, during her "Beauty and the Beast" run is some board discussion about some problematic issues with stage dooring."

i remember the stage door threads, apparently she cussed once and someone got their panties all in a twist.

but i don't ever remember anyone mention she didn't get along with cast members. though i am surprised she hasn't gone to see Raven in Sister Act. i'm assuming, BW would have photos since they did it for Raven when she went to see Anneliese in BATB.

Here is a video of her performing at Broadway Under the Stars. As I mentioned earlier I don't know what the future holds for the current NYC production of 'Into the Woods', but I definitely think she would make a great Cinderella since Jessie Meuller would not be able to transfer with it.

It annoys me when one person does an ensemble number. I much rather would have heard her sing a solo.

I actually think that she pulled it off well.

She was my favourite on That's So Raven and I've always wished that she'd get more recognition.

I know that the revival of Funny Girl was indefinately postponed, but if Lauren Ambrose becomes unavailable by the time it gets back on track, I think that she'd be a great pick for Fanny Bryce.

And while she's still a bit too young, in a few years she'd make a kickass Lucille Frank in Parade.

I think if ITW transfers and Amy Adams and Jessie M. does transfer with it (Amy has movies coming out, Jessie has Drood) I think she could be either Bakers Wife or Cinderella. :)

i have never seen anyone turn "Belle" into a solo, but i think she did great. it looks like she was having fun with it. this just makes me miss BATB.

i'd kill to see her in ITW. i don't care what role.

I don't know why I just don't hear her voice as Belle even though I absolutely love her as a performer. It doesn't surprise me that she killed it regardless, though.

Just to let you all know, tonight she is taking part in 'Divas Unite' at The Coterie in Hollywood.
