Posted: 6/9/13 at 5:06pmArianda would be a flawless Olive Neal, though I hope it wouldn't stray too close to Billie Dawn for her.
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.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 5:12pmNina Arianda will not be playing Olive.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 5:38pmThey are both divas, for sure, but different kinds of divas, so it'll be fun to watch.

They do have a special connection
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Posted: 6/9/13 at 6:20pmI really appreciate that Patti still auditions for shows that she's interested in! Granted, with something like this, and Woody Allen involved in the project, of course they're auditioning. The combinations of rumors have me wondering if Donna Murphy was cast, though both women auditioned.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 6:25pmI thought in one of those Broadway.com things a few years ago she said that she "Doesn't audition" when someone asked her for tips. I guess she really wanted this part..

That person asked what her audition song was. I doubt if she's seen for a show she has to sing them 12 or 16 bars of something.

Sound very cool ... but I have to ask, how many shows are those Grey Gardens guys working on right now?
My my count, it's nineteen.

I was also thinking BABY JANE!
But why would Donna put herself thru the hell of working with the Pone?

For the Tony nom that often follows working with LuPone?

Posted: 6/10/13 at 3:29amI'm guessing Patti would be playing Rubenstein and Murphy would be Arden?
