Posted: 8/25/10 at 12:17pmHas a Kennedy Center production ever transferred to Broadway? #jumpingthegun
I love America. Just because I think gay dudes should be allowed to adopt kids and we should all have hybrid cars doesn't mean I don't love America.

So happy.

This sounds like good news!
I'm really starting to believe her being a replacement in Night Music was a favor she did to secure this role. She's said that the role of Desiree came up when she and Sondheim were discussing "another project." This would seem to be it.
ETA....Stritch for Carlotta? I'm sure she'd be interested!

This is great news, I can't wait to go down to DC to see this production!
Hopefully it lives up to the Encores production from a few years ago.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Ragtime did.

"Additionally, BroadwayWorld.com has learned that starring alongside Peters will be Sex and the City star and Golden Globe winner Kim Cattrall as Phyllis, Danny Gurwin as Buddy and John Dossett as Ben."

Carlotta is supposed to be roughly the same age as Sally and Phyllis - early 50's at the oldest.
Plus, Stritch could't get through all the lyrics in I'M STILL HERE if her life depended on it.
Maybe she can do Hattie again.

Posted: 8/25/10 at 12:25pmKim Cattrall is inspired casting.
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.

#14Bernadette Peters to star in Kennedy Centers Follies
Posted: 8/25/10 at 12:26pmWow Kim Cattrall is certain to dazzle as Phyllis! And the Sally/Ben dynamic will be wonderful to watch as Bernadette and John Dossett worked together in Gypsy.

Posted: 8/25/10 at 12:27pmI was kidding about Stritch, though I'm sure she probably called Sondheim and asked about it, knowing her.

I'm also going to jump the gun and say "I want a cast recording!"

Posted: 8/25/10 at 12:34pmIs anyone else a little worried about Catrrall? I don't know much about her. Does she have stage experience?

Posted: 8/25/10 at 12:35pmI have to imagine the article has Danny Gurwin in the wrong role. He's too young for Buddy. Must be Young Buddy, no?

She started on the stage and has pretty much returned there post-SATC.

Posted: 8/25/10 at 12:38pmDidn't she just do Private Lives in London this past spring?

Posted: 8/25/10 at 12:38pmGurwin must be a mistake. He does not look like he'd be married to Peters.

Cattrall is a dedicated stage performer from way before her SEX AND THE CITY days, she only has one Broadway production to her name but she is more familiar to West End audiences. She recently did a production of PRIVATE LIVES that was supposed to transfer to Broadway, not sure if that's still happening. Either way, nothing to worry about. I doubt she's much of a singer but then again neither was Alexis Smith.
I can't wait! I really want to see this. I can't believe I worried myself thinking that Maria Friedman would end up playing Sally, Peters is inspired casting!

Posted: 8/25/10 at 12:39pmLooks like they just updated it to Danny Burstein, which I've also been able to confirm.
