Broadway.com is reporting that Brooke Shields will be replacing Donna Murphy in Wonderful Town starting on September 28.
I'm glad I saw it Wednesday...with Donna!

im glad someone does. i only hope that you're right, anonymous. i have not been impressed w/brookes work in the past but maybe this time will be different. i would have liked to see her play sally in cabaret. anyway, i am just disappointed that theyre not giving linda mugleston a chance to do this role for real. i read the other day that during a talkback she said she has played ruth on bway 30plus times. now come on people! doesnt that say something? also, her solo cd is amazing!

I saw Brooke Shields in this role yesterday. She was hysterical. I was however dissapointed that there was no big belty number for her or something to really bring a huge climax to her character. Jennifer Hope Wills as Eileen is really great too! It was overall really hysterical- thanks to Brooke, she's just plain funny... very Lucille Ball-esk(sp?)
It was also very intimate because I got 8th row Orchestra seats and the theatre isn't that big so it was really intimate and nice.
