| I always thought that Celia completed the Seattle run of Piazza and was then replaced by Kelli O'Hara for the next incarnation, which I think was Broadway, but I can't remember now. If Celia already had Broadway in her contract, then I suppose it was a firing. But if not, it's more like she wasn't invited to continue. I very much doubt she chose another show. I think she was no longer going to be involved with Piazza, THEN Spelling Bee became an option. And she was wonderful in that. | |

| The Light in the Piazza started in Seattle, then played the Goodman in Chicago. Celia Keenan-Bolger was Clara in both of those, but it does seem, as you say, that she was not invited to continue after that. | |

| I saw Celia Keenan-Bolger at the Goodman in Chicago. Her performance was fine, but she has sort of a natural childlike quality that made it obvious to audiences (right at the beginning of the show) that she was mentally challenged. When I saw Light in the Piazza on Broadway, O'Hara was much, much better in the role. | |

| AND didn't Keenan-Bolger herself admit she couldn't compare as a singer to O'Hara? | |
