I think the role is being somewhat reduced to an ensemble member. I think she appears at the beginning of the show but never to be seen again once Max and "I" move to Manderlay. In the German version she comes back towards the end of act 1 and sings "I'm American Woman" which I believe is being cut from the American version.

Loretta Swit has been approached to do the role.

Yeah, and I am sure she can hit those notes that Van Hopper sings! Swit was so bad in Drood... she totally ruined it for me!
