My daughter loved the movie. I have never read the book or seen the movie. It is on my rental list for this weekend!

Off-Broadway is always an option, too.

I think it's very safe to say that Laura is going to have a wonderful, long-lasting career no matter which role/show she is in! I was privileged to see her 3 times in Grease and also to meet her, and Laura is definitely a star and is here to stay

That's great that she got rave reviews in Pride and Prejudice, yay!!! I would love it if P & P came to Broadway/Off Broadway next year----just a happy excuse to visit the wonderful NYC!

In this economy, off broadway might be the best way to go for many shows. The costs are a less and you don't have to try to sell thousands of tickets in a night to sustain the show.

I would love to see this show since this is my favorite Jane Austin book.

For people who've asked what's next for Laura I can report that she's currently back in the audition pool like all the other actors between jobs. She's welcoming at least a short term respite after doing the Washington DC show of "Broadway Three Generations" and then immediately going into rehearsals for Pride and Prejudice the day she got home from D.C. Nate's currently still in "Like You Like It" in Brooklyn (really cute, entertaining show) and that's been a ton of fun for him. Laura hopes to come home to Minnesota in early December for a few days to sing in a Christmas program at a large local church that puts on a big Christmas pageant each year. I'll pass on more information about that later when I have more details and am sure it's going to happen. Some of you who live in relative close proximity to Minneapolis might enjoy coming to that. That will probably be our only holiday time with Laura but we'll joyfully take it!

"The world is unfolding as it should." (P. Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada)

It is good to see that is at least the case in the entertainment world: the cream
rises to the top, the talented (such as Laura) get the jobs.

On the other hand, the recent stock market crashes and rebounds makes no sense at all. It seems like random mass hysteria is bringing the world to an unnecessary depression.

Hi Mike, how are you today? We are doing good; really would love a chance to see Laura in person again----I can't get enough of that voice, ha ha. She is such a total professional and I am so happy and proud of her; I said it before: she is in for a looooooong, wonderful career and I hope to be there every step of the way. This girl is truly a star and I'm proud to be a fellow Minnesotan

Have a good one Mike, take care!! Dana

Here's the data on the Minnesota Christmas program Laura will be participating in: Location: Living Word Christian Center, 9201 75th Ave. N, Brooklyn Park, MN (a northwest suburb). Dates are Saturday, Dec. 6 at 5:00 p.m. and 7:15 pm. and Sunday, Dec. 7 at their regular morning service times of 9:00 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. Here's what their website says about it: "Experience Living Word Christian Center's Christmas Show on Dec. 6-7, which includes spectacular music, dance, lighting,and multimedia. The show is free and non-ticketed; it will take the place of the regularly scheduled weekend services. Chilcare will be provided. Special guest, Laura Osnes, star of the hit Broadway show Grease, will be performing. Invite all of your friends and family to this special holiday event!" For more information: 763-315-7000. The auditorium is huge so I would recommend coming early for best seating since it is free and non-ticketed.

I understand Laura and Nate were at the Grease performance Sunday night. It just so happens that Jim Jacobs was there too. What a coincidence!!!

pinkfan · Senior Member

That's right Speedy, you beat me to it. I think Ashley was surprised to see Laura and Nate but Laura hadn't been there since Ashley and Derek's 3rd performance and Laura was very sweet and Ashley was happy to see her.
