John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask in Hedwig

I do wonder about Lupone. 

Depending on how long the series is, she could most definitely film in between now and a fall opening. Especially if it's 5 or so episodes.

I agree that Annaleigh would seem to be the perfect match for the role. 

I agree 100%. Why not make her a lesbian or bi. Such a missed opportunity.

Re Patina. I am still flabbergasted that Patina almost got Effie. I remember hearing it at Seth's Chatterbox and Seth was dumbfounded. She said the producers were looking to go in a "different direction" for Effie. Which is complete absurd but I guess not out of the realm of possibility for a Hollywood adaptation.

Also, Patina Miller was one of the final 3 choices for Effie in the dreamgirls movie."

I would have loved to see Colella as PJ in Company. I haven't seen this revival yet but the thought of different gendered partners for Bobbie is exciting.

 

I still want to hear her Dina in The Band's Visit. She only participated in the workshops.

If anyone wants the magic spoiled this article does a pretty good job explaining it: https://www.surfacemag.com/articles/simon-stone-talks-yerma-set-design/

I wish there was a video that showed it happening in night vision.

If I remember correctly Robert Morse didn't want to relocate his family from CA to NY for Wicked. And I thought it was known that Amy Spanger was injured vocally during Rock of Ages? Maybe that was just the gossip at the time?

Seth has uploaded a few episodes over the years. Here is Burtka's where he discusses Gypsy: thttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9_Z3piV6Rg

 

The Other One said: "The original production of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? had an alternate matinee cast for George (and all other roles). The first Broadway revival of Man of La Mancha had a matinee alternate for Don Quixote.

"

Was there a specific reason why Woolf had an alternative cast? 

code: acceva for $25 tix. I don't know if they are age restricted like other ny theater companies?

Dreaming that its Follies at Lincoln Center...

I’m gonna guess the NY Phil production with Neil Patrick Harris?

Cause she's got the Yazbeck Tammy Faye Messner musical, Death Becomes Her, and a reading of Soapdish? Did she do a reading Dolly Parton bio musical? I'm sure there is a lot more that she has been attached too in the last ten years.

Hoping for some diversity in the principle cast. 

Not that it matters but how many Jewish cast members were in the most recent bway revival, one?
