Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Coco in 1970.  I went with my mom at age 6 or 7.  Only think I remember (assuming it is accurate) was there was a long staircase and she walked down it in white.  When I went to look up the date, I learned that it starred Katherine Hepburn, Andre Previn wrote the music, and Alan J Lerner wrote the book and lyrics. Michael Bennett choreographed and Harold Wheeler did the dance arrangements. Lots of talent.

I guess my bad. It seemed that the combination of the Seller quote and Lin-Manuel's comments pointed to July 9. But, his one year comment could have implied a date a few days later in July. To me the actual day didn't seem crucial, but I certainly see why to some even a one day difference is very crucial. 

The Hollywood Reporter didn't report anything Lin-Manuel didn't say himself. Read the Rilling Stone article. It's toward the end. He made it very clear he's leaving after a year. 

Here is a link to Lin-Manuel's interview in Rolling Stone.  I'd say he is leaving when his contract is up.  He says he left In the Heights after a year, and that the show was as joyous as anything he's done, but he needed time to write.  Can read it and draw your own conclusions.

Great temporary replacement for Judy Kuhn, but we may be burying the lede a bit. If the contracts are up in March/April as has been assumed, this means Judy Kuhn has extended her contract.

I also heard an interview with Michael Cerveris on Julie James's show recently where he stated that the cast felt there was still a lot to explore in these characters. My thought was that he probably was going to extend his contract. We will see. 

LizzieCurry said: "You got it! You figured out Rose, Albert, the Ayah, and Fakir too, right?"

Ok, I'll bite lol. Rose and Albert were Mary's parents. Ayah was the women who took care of Mary in India. Fakir seemed mystical, though not sure of his exact relationship to Mary in India. 

Again, please know I understand that a concert like this is hard to follow.  I meant no offense with my synopsis. 

^^^ Agree with this. As I said before, it is all very subjective. Put synopsis in to see if I just missed the boat, which is certainly possible.

How so? Did they only perform the songs and not the scenes? I seem to recall in Parade they performed the full thing, or if not the full thing, enough of the book to set up the songs."

I knew nothing about the story, but I found it easy to follow. Thought they did a great job getting the facts out. Just shows this is all subjective.

Also, thought the performances were great. Really happy I went. 

Saw this last night. Michelle Willisms appeared to be wiping away tears during the curtain call. It truly amazes me that actors can perform a show like this 8 times a week.

Like many others, I thought it was very well done, brilliantly acted and definitely worth seeing.  But, not sure I would say I loved the show. Difficult material.

McConaughey would be great as would Benedict Cumberbatch.

Sydney Lucas is a tad too old.  They will probably have to cast older than 6, but Sydney looks more than double the character's age.

Forgot how young Scout is. 

Sydney Lucas would make an excellent Scout.

Since you did not say what you thought he meant by the term, it's hard to know at what you are aghast. I heard the interview, and he was talking about always auditioning even if he was currently employed long term. I took it to mean he was sort of an audition addict, which would have been a better term to use. 

Lincoln center production No longer listed as "do not work."  Maybe they can complete the cast now. 

FYI, the do not work notice for the Geffen Hall production now says contract pending. http://www.actorsequity.org/newsmedia/TakeAction/DoNotWork.4As.asp
