In 2009, Lindsay appeared as Laura in a musical-theatre production at the Papermill Playhouse of Little House on the Prairie with Melissa Gilbert as Ma. The play is an adaption of the children's book of the same name by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Gilbert had originally played the role of Laura in the television series of the same name in the mid-1970s.[2] She portrayed Katharine Plumber in Newsies, a Disney musical revamped for stage by Harvey Fierstein. The character was the fictional love interest of protagonist Jack Kelly, but Lindsay said she drew inspiration from the real-life investigative journalist Nellie Bly. Newsies will be making a limited run on Broadway in 2012. No casting has been announced yet, but there is speculation that Lindsay will return to play Katharine Plumber.
