I completely agree. I think a future (non-City Center) revival needs to do some work with trimming and even finessing some of the show. 'What a Game' needs to be cut completely and I think several songs could be trimmed down like 'The night Goldman spoke...' , 'Atlantic City', 'Coalhouse Demands

His certain competition is looking primarily to be Nicholas Christopher for CHESS - with Tutty (Two Strangers), Bourzgui (Lost Boys), Tveit (Chess), and Brightman (Schmigadoon) all questionable

A man in tights and heels doesn’t bat an eye anymore, and rightfully so. But a bald, long lashed Simard in a bustiertearing through that score?"

Simard’s great, but I don’t really see it and don’t like the idea of casting the sweet transvestite with a cisgender woman just do

What I heard is that Corden pushed for it, which makes sense. He’s got an image issue and while I don’t think it’s getting fixed, I can see why he’d think this production can help.

Benanti may not be working on Broadway but she's far from taking "a break." She's continually working on countlessprojects, including her one-woman show. She's appeared on several recent film and TV projects, if in a small capacity. She's made it cl

I think Denzel can tone down his coolness to make it work, but I also prefer Wright for this part. And yes, Arthur Miller’s original writing is basically perfect as it is, so Kushner’s involvement is odd. I’m guessing his work will be less extensive than it was for West Side Story (which he should’ve won an Oscar for). Also guessing that Kushner and Chinonye Chukwu are working to make this adaptation not just a bit of colorblind casting. Curious who they’ll be ge

Also happy for English scoring both Ashe and Neshat after thinking there would only be room for one. Though as great as that category is, I feel sorry for Amalia Yoo missing out. I had thought she and Fina Strazza were sure things, to the point where I considered Morgan Scott scoring a third nod in the category alongs

I don’t think Culkin’s problem is in emulating a sleazy salesman, it’s that he can’t transcend the archetype, which is what this role calls for. Roma is a total sleaze but we need to buy that he could convince his prey that they’re friends as he sinks his claws into them. 

After the audience has heard all this talk about a great salesman with a massive lead over the rest, when we finally see Roma at work, he should be practically hypnotic. C
