Carol responds:
I looked up Elizabeth Spriggs on the IMDb to see whether her
replacement was explained. (It was mentioned in the Trivia section but
no reason was given. I think you must be right that she had other
commitments. Or maybe she didn't like the change to the role? The
silly scene where she dresses like a Greek nymph and tries to break a
glass by singing didn't really fit with the stiff, eighteenth- or
nineteenth-century persona that Spriggs had created.

According to the IMDb, she died in 2008, but given all those other
roles, it doesn't look as if poor health was the reason that she
declined the Fat Lady role (or was replaced).
