Two-times Tony winner Donna Murphy in TangledTony winner Anika Noni Rose in The Princess and the FrogTwo times Tony nominee Eartha Kitt in The Emperor's New Groove

Some of these may seem old for the first act, but the characters really need a mature look for the second act. Also there's makeup and visual effects, just look at what the did to Streep in ITW.Fiyero - Chris Pine. If his "Dancing Through Life" is half as good as his "Agony", I'm sold. Also I think Fiyero should look older (like someone who's been in college partying for a few years.The Wizard - John Lithgow. A veteran actor, Tony winner, Emmy winner, Oscar nominee who can handle comedy and d...

I just saw the Cats's cast performing on GMA.I never really liked Cats, except for "Memory", a great song, undeaniably. And I really like Leona, the singer. But that casting was all kinds of wrong. Sure, she can belt, but everything else was just WTF? From the facial expressions, to the weird movements, the dramatic clearly marked fall to the floor... Nope!And the fact that they audition true Broadway actresses (Alice Ripley talked about auditioning) and ended up with a popstar is just gross ...

Not sure I should be asking this year, but does anyone know how/where I can watch this?

"So I'd really like to see Aaron Tveit, Hugh Jackman, and Norm Lewis come back again." "Martha Plimpton" Plimpton IS currently on Broadway (A Delicate Balance) Lewis ended is run on Broadway just six months ago (Phantom) The same with Jackman (The River)

^^ Morgan James actually seems like a great choice for Elsa :P

Except for Idina, who clearly won't be cast in this, I can actually see the producers going after the original movie cast. And they're actually perfect for the roles, with the perfect mix of Broadway credits and name recognition (not that they need it, this will be huge either way)Anna - Kristen Bell (Hair, A Little Night Music)Kristoff - Jonathan Groff (Fame, Spring Awakening*, Hair, Hamilton) Olaf - Josh Gad (The Book of Mormon*)Hans - Santino Fontana (Sunday in the Park with George, Billy ...

I strongly agree with number 4. I hate it when you can sense the audience didn't really like the play but then they all stand up because A) it's a well-known cast or B) the cast just won't leave the stage. And then I end up being the only sitting down

HQ video. Now I want to hear her "Don't Cry For Me Argentina"!

I gotta give it to Idina's manager! Her team is really making the most out of the Frozen/Let it Go buzz. Her Broadway show was a hit, and the only reason it's closing it's because no one else can carry it like Idina, box-office wise. Her concert at RCMH was a success, she's performing everywhere (Oscars, X-Factor, talk-shows...) She's about to start her world tour And now this... When was the last time we had a true Broadway star like this?

Oh and I wish some of the original cast could've played some roles here, like: Kim Crosby (Cinderella) - a perfect Cinderella's Mother Chip Zien (Baker) - he could've easily played the Baker's Father in that short scene Joanna Gleason (Baker's Wife) - just think what a perfect Giantess she'd make! Merle Louise (Cinderella's Mother, Granny and Giantess) - she could reprise the role of Granny, as it is a lot shorter Bernadette Peters (Witch) - I loved, loved, loooooved Christine Baranski. But i...

This would pretty much be a perfect movie and a perfect adaptation of the original show if it were 15 minutes longer. Ever After sung during the wedding scene and then fade almost to black and start "Act Two Prologue" ("Once upon a time, later..."). That includes the amazing exchange between The Witch and The Bakers ("A giant's just like us, only bigger: Much much bigger. Sooo big" - I'd kill to hear Meryl say that and it would give her even something more to do as the post-transformation Wit...

After seeing that featurette, I'm just going to quote the first answer to the very first topic in this thread, more than two years ago: "STREEP DOES NOT HAVE THE VOICE FOR THIS ROLE!" AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH (sorry Jordan Catalano :p )

Another interview, another clip. This time, 'Moments in the Woods' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyxhGvJtf3U

"I'd see Wicked again if he played Elphaba or Galinda" I know what to hear him sing Defying Gravity! :O

I didn't see any footage of Tracy Ullman dying... ^^ It's a very quick shot, at around :53/:54 Wouldn't Lapine be nominated alone for the screenplay? Is Sondheim really eligible? Sondheim wrote some new lyrics, so maybe that's why they're sharing credit?

http://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Brand-New-INTO-THE-WOODS-Special-Look-Promo-Video-20141124 Some new footage Tracey Ullman dying. But what's up with Blunt's clearly auto-tuned voice? O.o

All of my tattoos are art related: - Millenium Approaches on my right foot (Angels in America) - Perestroika on my left foot (Angels in America) - Hello stranger. on my nape (Closer) - tanzt tanzt on my right wrist (an hommage to Pina Bausch) - a pair of tiny tiny silver slippers on my right ankle (The Wizard of Oz) - a tiny teacup with a clock on my left ankle (Alice in Wonderland) - Si un jour la vie t'arrache à moi Si tu meurs que tu sois loin de moi Peu m'importe si tu m'aimes Car moi je ...
