Why Kristen Bell isn’t doing Lost - UPDATE

August 14th, 2007 | Category: Lost

Kristen Bell, previously of Veronica Mars, was reportedly asked to join the cast of Lost next season as a new, recurring character (one of The Others!). But, Bell has apparently turned down the opportunity to live and work in Hawaii in favor of living and working on Broadway in New York City.

According to TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello, Bell will take by the lead role in the Broadway version of Legally Blonde in February. He’s putting two-and-two

together to come to that conclusion, but it seems pretty logical. She has wanted to do Broadway in the past, but her Veronica Mars schedule would never accommodate it.

This seems like an…interesting…career choice. A role on Lost would boost her visibility with mainstream viewers, while a role on Broadway will only prepare her visible to those who are into that sort of thing. But, whether Broadway’s your dream, go for it!
