"Great--another person has given their definitive opinion about a performer who hasn't even been officially cast in a show that won't even have a performance for months. And seriously, you start your post by suggesting that Ambrose isn't Jewish enough for Fanny, then you suggest the two most Italian Catholic actresses I can think of for Fanny and Mrs. Brice? That makes so much sense." Just a side note Laura Benanti is not actually Italian...here's a link to a very old interview on the subject:

Matt is about 5'11" she is probably not terribly tall...Karen Olivo, on the the other hand...

Scott would have been great back during that STATE FAIR period. The guys who are great dancers who can sing and act are Tyler Hanes, Curtis Holbrook, Noah Racey, Matt Loeher and Tony Yazbeck. My understanding intially was that they were re-thinking the role in more of a Sinatra way...using more of a singer (like Harry Connick)...if that was the way to go, why not just cast the right guy?

He has a very impressive low register and he really added a lot of depth to his voice. I am excited to hear how he is in Les Mis! The richness and depth to hi...

I dont like the movie and because of this cast, I am excited to see this!

Longoria looks more like Valli? Not to me. Also, I have seen a few Frankies, no one beats JLY...not vocally, not acting. I do think Longoria looked and sounded a lot like Joe Pesci, and I loved him in that role. Every time I have seen him as Frankie, I keep thinking, "there's Joe Pesci as Frankie!"

Hey "A Director", just want to make it clear that when Hoff was in EVITA, he was 11 or 12...
