This irritates me. And Playbill.com reported that Jay-Z is reportedly attached to the project as well: "to collaborate on the music for the film." Now, I LOVE me some Jay-Z, but... WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I don't think I'm gonna like it here.....

I think the only person in this tour from the STELLAR Original Broadway Cast is Paul Castree, in the ensemble. I saw (and loved) the show in New York twice, wasn't blown away by the tour. So far, I have seen the tour twice, and it was definitely better the second time. I know I am in the minority, but I didn't like many of the changes for the tour--especially the fantasy sequence.

Ooo, this is my kind of thread! My faves, in no particular order: Annie (Philip J. Lang) Steel Pier (Michael GIbson) 9 to 5 (Bruce Coughlin with additional by Stephen Oremus) Company (Jonathan Tunick) Camelot (Philip J. Lang) City of Angels (Billy Byers) The Secret Garden (William D. Brohn)

Vocally, I'm all for Streisand as Rose. Not so sure about Anne hathaway, though. How about an unknown? There are a lot of talented youg women out there.

Um....the cynicism here is almost unbelievable. Except that it's totally believable. It seems that many of the negative posters in this thread are angry that he didn't DISS the show--kinda like how the previews for the interview baited you to think he was gonna do. He seemed very forthright and sincere. (We could all take a lesson...) I hope the show is a hit, and lots of people have jobs and health insurance for a long, long time. Is it "high art?" Probably not. Let's face it--they can't all...
