I'm not missing this. I adore John Doyle's work. My question is, is this gonna be like Sweeney? If so, what instrument is Raul gonna play?
Oh, I am so there. I wouldn't miss this for the world. I guess I know what I'm doing this year for Spring Break!

Posted: 11/14/05 at 1:51pmI doubt it'll be set in a madhouse, like Sweeney, but the instrument/actor concept should be similar.

This should be awesome. I saw Raúl in Caberet and he was great. I would like to see in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang but I am not sure if I will get the chance. He is an amazing singer and actor.

Posted: 11/14/05 at 2:51pmI had just about convinced myself that Cincinnati is too far to go just to see Company, but now I think I'll have to go.

blub blub blub,
books flight to Cincy.
I am so excited about Company in this format. It seems to fit the show very, very well.
Who is playing Joanne? *dreams*
(Thanks Yoda) 
I stand corrected, you are as vapid as they say.

Posted: 11/14/05 at 3:16pmSomeone go visit Emcee...I think she may have imploded. This may be the reason for her lack of posting in this thread.

Well I can't say for sure, but I think she's been in class since this thread was started and either has not read the news or had a chance to process it.
*squeezes hand* Em, I'm here for you. Just remember the amazing experiences we have living in NY and the people we get to interact with and...Julia's still here??

Raul will make a terrific Robert.
I really wonder if John Doyle is going to do this with every Sondheim show ever.
If he does, good for us singing actors who play instruments! :)

Am I crazy for saying that I think this casting is VERY strange? I don't see Raul as Bobby in the least bit.
