Anyway, according to the cast breakdowns released a couple of weeks ago, Molokov, The Arbiter and Walter have already been cast, only Svetlana, Lea's standby and the ensemble are still to be cast.

Svelana in CHESS? Hope not - not a role for her."
It’s a perfect role for her what are you prattling on about

Didn't she sing Sally Bowles at some point? I don't think that's it though, as he said it wasn't currently running.

She might be a bit young, but she’d be a great Desiree in Night Music

OuttaTowner said: "Perhaps just coincidence, but Dujonna’s recent IG posts clearly indicate that she’s in NYC."
I’m assuming she is already stateside as she has a smaller supporting role in Snow White. Unlike other weirdly nitpicky naysayers on this board, I think Dujonna’s performance is the heart of Two Strangers…and it would be at a major loss without her or Sam.

Agree. The vocal warmth isn't there. Neither is the great build.
I hope she can fix it.

Would any brave soul be willing to explain how they’ve managed to lighten up the ending/how the ending has changed?

SMASH was weekly TV series with one-hour episodes, so they decided they needed more storylines than just a show trying to make it to Broadway. TV show got panned because those episodes was like the show was try

I just cannot see her in serious roles after Jenna Maroney. She’s brilliant tho, and I have no doubt she’d change my mind.

Especially excited for Krysta's return to Smash and to hear Caroline Bowman and Robyn Hurder's wonderful voices. However, I'm a bit worried about the amount of changes they've made to the TV show. I know that changes in the journey from the source material to Broadway are inevitable, but with this show, it feels a bit extreme. It only keeps the same broad gist and the chopped-u

Or Amy Poehler. She would be perfect."
Kathy has sung an auto tuned title song to her short lived talk show, but I do believe she can carry a tune. Amy can hold her own with harmonies, I bet character singing would be a breeze for her honestly. <

Someone said the Cathy standby is associated with a previous beloved but unconventional Last 5 Years. Using context clues, as I previously guessed, I think it’s Nasia Thomas, who previously played Cathy in the BRILLIANT broadcast production that was filmed live in a NY apartment during Covid.

Unless a big star, the producers will have no reason to take a chance on losing money and either dilute whatever profits they have or lose even more.
