I can't believe we'll be their first public performance, as there was no invited dress.
Exciting.

Very excited about Angela Lansbury.
Not so much about Catherine Zeta-Jones. I hope she's out the day I see this show.

^ Apparently Catherine is brilliant. But why don't you just go on one of her 2 weeks off in the Spring?

There was no invited dress?? Strange...
I will be there tonight and I could not be more excited. Angela Lansbury is back on Broadway!!!

RobinM, I honestly feel the same way about Catherine Zeta-Jones.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!

LOL, givesmevoice! I hated her with a passion in the movie Chicago. She acted like, "Aren't I the best singer and aren't I the most gorgeous and aren't I wonderful?" and all I could think the entire time was, "You cannot sing and you look like a drag queen (not that there's anything wrong with that)."
Ugh, I just don't want to sit in that audience and cringe as she pretends to be able to sing.

You clearly have very little understanding of Desiree and her music.
If people don't want to see Zeta-Jones, then do us all a favor and STAY HOME. Or go on one of her vacations. It's simple.

I actually think Zeta-Jones is a fairly decent singer, and an okay actress. She just doesn't come across the way I imagine Desiree, since I read her as being a little cold and smug. Unfortunately I can't plan on seeing the show because of finances, but I was intending to go see the show with her to see if I can be proven wrong.

Ever hear of someone having an opinion?

The actress playing Desiree doesn't need to be a fantastic singer. And who CARES if the actress isn't the strongest vocalist (in any show)...as long as they act the hell out of it.
And how could anyone have disliked CZJ's performance in the movie Chicago? Can't sing? Are we deaf?
I know it's just an opinion, but really?

No, we're not deaf.
I just thought she was awful. That's all.

I Assume the stage door will be bombarded with people who aren't even seeing the show tonight to get memorabilia signed. I hope its playbills only!!! But since its the 1st preview it wont be decided right now.

She's a much better singer than most of the other actresses who've played Desiree.

Have they announced the cast yet?
I hope they don't bring over Hannah Waddingham - I think she's too young for the role.
