"I meant to say last night, what's the rationale behind a 1 a.m. press release?"
So it is the waiting in the press' inbox when they wake up; an attempt to get a jump-start on any other release going out today.

Did Rene Auborjournois (sp?) perform in some incarnation of Disney's The Little Mermaid? His name sounds so familiar to me.

Admittedly, I don't know too much about "She Loves Me", but I am excited for this production based on this cast.

Posted: 7/15/15 at 11:29amOh, I just noticed that Benjamin Eakeley is in this! Such an underrated performer. His Beadle was the best part of the tour of the Sweeney revival.

A Sipos hasn't been cast yet, right? Has anyone heard any rumblings?
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.

Addressed that in my post above. I haven't heard anything, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's McGrath.

Oh fvckface pintobean, not even you can ruin the beauty of this casting.
Benanti and Krakowski did some of their best work to date in NINE (also for Roundabout), where they worked together. I can't wait to hear their rendition of "I Don't Know His Name." This HAS got to get recorded.
I'm just beside myself. Krakowski hasn't been on Broadway since NINE in 2003! That's just crazy. She needs to never let that happen again (and yes I'm aware she did GUYS & DOLLS and DAMN YANKEES at other venues).

a 3 month run my a$$, this will be extended multiple times.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

I hope I can get out there to see this (and maybe some other stuff, like Hamilton maybe) considering my birthday is opening night (3-3) it seems like kismet! One of my favorite shows with a terrific cast. And please please please let them record this!!!

LizzieCurry, thank you for answering my question. That was a cute link, too.
Anyway, I'll echo everyone's sentiments that this is some good casting. Although, as much as I love the 2003 NINE cast, I feel like they shouldn't have kept Krakowski as a blonde. That's purely a superficial thing, but I feel like Carla must always have dark hair...Lol.

I think Janie and Gavie could walk away with this one.

This is THE must-see production of this season! (For me)
So thrilled to have Jane back, as well as the rest of this stellar cast. Never seen this show live before! I truly can't wait.

"Did Rene Auborjournois (sp?) perform in some incarnation of Disney's The Little Mermaid? His name sounds so familiar to me."
Auberjonois voiced Chef Louis in the film of The Little Mermaid.
He is a Tony winner (COCO) and four time Tony nominee (the others being THE GOOD DOCTOR, BIG RIVER, and CITY OF ANGELS).
"I feel like Carla must always have dark hair...Lol."
That's a curious feeling you have given that Broadway Carlas have never had dark hair. Anita Morris's Carla was a red-head and Jane's was a blonde.
"I assume Jane would be singing "A Trip to the Library" in the video you mentioned; it's the character's big solo."
Ilona has two wonderful solo songs, "I Resolve" in Act 1 and "A Trip to the Library" in Act 2.

Anyone else hoping to see something new from Krakowski in this production? Her 30 Rock and Unbreakable characters are pretty much the same. I'm hoping we see a new shade of her, otherwise a term involving a pony with a single ability comes into mind. Love the show, wish them well...just want to see something new from her. (opinion: need not be debated.)

Jane was very different in the staged concert a few years ago. I don't expect her portrayal to be anything like Jenna or Jacqueline.

She played part of a choo-choo train in STARLIGHT EXPRESS. She can play against type. She's proven she has range.

Ilona, a kind, sexy, sincere, vulnerable and not well educated shopgirl is nothing like Jane's characters in 30 Rock or Unbreakable. If anything she's more like her Flaemschen in Grand Hotel minus the ambition, drive, acquisitiveness, dissatisfaction and manipulation. Jane was hilariously funny, engagingly warm and perfectly charming in the concert.

Posted: 7/16/15 at 1:23pmShe won for a Tony for her performance in Nine, playing a dramatic role absolutely nothing at all like Jenna Maroney or Jacqueline Vorhees.

henrikegerman, by "dark" I didn't necessarily mean brunette or raven. A deep auburn like Morris's would be good! Again, it's just me being aesthetically picky...Krakowski (physically) strikes me as being more of a quirky ingenue.
Incidentally, more Michael McGrath is always a good thing.
