I read that female winner of the U.S. version, Laura Osnes, is taking over for 
Kelli O'Hara in South Pacific while she's on maternity leave.  So, Ms. Osnes is 
doing quite well for herself.

In a series that is two years old--the "Joseph" revival closes May 30 and the 
winner left months ago.  I suspect that BBCA picked this up mostly because 
Capt. Jack is on the panel of judges and they can crossplug "Torchwood."

This is the second of three runs for the West End casting call format--"How Do 
You Solve a Problem Like Maria?" found a lead for "Sound of Music" in 2006 and 
"I'd Do Anything" found a Nancy for "Oliver!" last year.  Norton and Lloyd 
Webber's have been the common bonds in all three series, with Barrowman and 
Denise Van Outen serving as judges for the last two series.  The Beeb seems to 
have not announced if they're doing a 2009 series, although I assume that's 
Lloyd Webber's call.
