ColorTheHours048 said: "I’m honestly glad they went with a group of working New York actors instead of stuffing it unnecessarily with more celebrities. Also, is this Krysta’s first straight play on Broadway?"She had a featured role in The Collaboration at MTC a few years ago.

The score has a LOT of great songs that when done WELL, can bring down the house."Having seen the show, and having owned the script, I honestly don'tget what people are talking about in terms of it not being "palatable." That men sing about liking to have sex with women? That some men pay for sex from profes...

Full cast announced via IG.

If the production moves forward, I have to imagine it'll be with West End/Broadway names.

ACL2006 said: "And the show will need a name to sell."On the road? Not at all. It's an acclaimed production with a beloved songbook. Touring audiences will eat it up.

Ke3 said: "I haven't seen it but I was under the impression the Audrey direction in this production was intended to present her as a fully serious dramatic role. The clips I've seen of other people all seemed to be an Audrey that's more bogged down by her trauma than the original.I try not to be that person who's like "the original is always the best!!" but Ellen Greene is just as important to Audrey's creation as Ashman & Menken. Everything she does is perfect and feels embedded in the chara...

What a surprise: CoffeeBreak starting rumors about an Arden production. Again.

suicidalmickeymouse said: "It’s opening next month in the space formerly known as the McKittrick, yes?"Yes, the venue is now called the Culture Club. The Heated Rivalry musical is also there.

How was a production like this able to get Hillary Clinton to attend…?

I missed it at the Lortel but am glad to have the opportunity to see it scaled up with this incredibly stacked cast. Hope it catches on!

witchoftheeast2 said: "Oh. Thank you! Do you think that means a transfer announcement is coming?"ER765 has been saying it pretty definitively and they're a pretty reliable source of info; but even without that, the signs are there for something more substantial than the release of an album we already knew was coming. A lot of industry folks have been sharing it on IG and being very coy in a way that a cast album wouldn't typically merit.

Sutton Ross said: "Pay attention and stop yelling at the bot Fred Mason, then you might have noticed. For months, he called people names that hated Cats.Enjoy your now closed musical with horrible, problematic people in it. Unlike Ragtime. Hmmm....Kisses, sad pathetic beta males."The most pathetic thing about you is how transparently sad this act all is. What a life you must have to come here and behave like this on a regular basis. You're not nearly as funny, not nearly as smart, not nearly ...

Evita already released the highlights in October, anyway, which kind of stepped on the full thing.

Noted decrier of abuse sees a performer alleging poor treatment at the hands of another and her first thought is to bully somebody who isn’t even part of the discussion. And then probably going to see MJ again.

Despite their acclaim and quality, I have my doubts about how both this and Downstate will fare on Broadway without some kind of big name attached, which is a sad reflection on the state of things these days. It's not unlikely that one will follow a similar path as Liberation last season, flopping hard but managing to win Best Play, but that's still kind of a bummer.

I stand corrected that he has none; it's not info that first comes up when looking him up. But he still has considerably less experience than Evans.
