Emily Skinner--Mrs. Wilkinson: Chicago, Broadway & St. Louis
Emily will be playing Mrs. Wilkinson. I may just have to take a trip to see this now.

I wonder what happened to Genevieve? Perhaps she was never officially attached to the production?

Re: Emily Skinner
According to the Chicago Tribune...
http://leisureblogs.chicagotribune.com/ ... ater_loop/Director Stephen Daldry had previously told the Australian press that Genevieve Lemon, the star of the Melbourne production, would be coming to Chicago in the role.
But when the cast was officially announced, the actress playing that pivotal role was left blank. The show, however, has already started rehearsals in Chicago.

Re: Emily Skinner
This article on Emily popped up on my Google alerts this morning. It's dated March 15, 2010. I have no idea why it didn't appear on Google earlier (unless maybe China was censoring it )
At any rate, a nice piece that hasn't been posted here before:

Re: Emily Skinner
Thanks for that. I didn't realize that Emily Skinner was a fellow Virginian.
There is a great podcast interview linked at the bottom of the article. Be sure to listen!

Re: Emily Skinner
I hate to see Kate go, but Emily is an excellent Mrs. W. and will be a worthy replacement.

Re: Emily Skinner
According to this, Emily will play her final performance in Chicago on September 19. That will give her some time to rehearse with the Broadway cast. I assume she will make her debut as Mrs. W on Broadway on Saturday, October 2.
