Apparently she'll leave SOM next year and ALW is putting her in the lead for a revival for Funny Girl, according to a Sunday paper!

Me to, and I did think it was one of the few roles Connie could do well, she has quirky look that doesnt suit many roles - this one however she would. Although she will really have to shape up her acting skills for that role. Interesting if ALW does do it, protecting his 'find' by casting her in his shows. She will need an alternate though (thats not a dig) but if she needs one for SOM she will certainly need one for Funny Girl.

But didn't he tell Abi that he would cast her in the lead, if ever he produced Funny Girl? Surely she would be more suitable for the part.

He didn't promise her the part on TV. It was just suggested as an idea.
Anyway, Abi, Connie, whoever blah blah blah - just someone put on a decent production with someone good in the lead.

I remember reading that someone else holds the Rights.
I can't remember who, though it may have been Cameron Mackintosh.

Abi Finley was the "Tomboy or Jewish Maria", she is currently in a touring production of fame. Connie would make an interesting Mary Poppins or maybe have a run in Chicago if it was still going. She'd be an interesting Roxie. Helena Blackman would be an interesting choice for Funny Girl but she's going to be doing South Pacific I think.

Eh, who cares? No one will remember who she is in 2 or 3 years. Just like 90% of the TV manufactured acts...
