Posted: 12/22/05 at 7:21pmWOW! That is really exciting.Is this the first time a well known composer has been in his/her own musical?

yes, lk was my first thought too. especially considering her touring with him this past summer and their history, especially with this show...
but alas, she is going to be going into spam...

Posted: 12/22/05 at 7:56pmOh. What's bad for the soul is good for the career I guess! She's a good singer, it'll be a good gig for her.

Posted: 12/22/05 at 8:04pmawesome. i'm moving to the greater l.a. area early next month...i should pick up tickets for this! maybe julia murney could play cathy. she and jrb have a long working history together, and she is similar to sherie rene scott in many ways. i know many will probably disagree, but i could definitely see stephanie d'abruzzo (sp?) as cathy, too. so excited!

Posted: 12/22/05 at 8:11pmi would have to disagree with you there. she has a pretty solid belt, if not quite as fierce as sherie.

Row E is the ninth row rather than the fifth (because the Freud starts with AA-DD). Tricky of them, isn't it? Anyway, my regular Reprise season ticket is in row E and it's an excellent seat. The house only seats about 550 or so, and even when I sat in the very back row for the Sam Harris concert, I had a good view. Let's all us Broadwayworld.com people get together and say hi before/after the show. (They should be having a reception afterwards which anyone can go to, I believe, at least that's been my experience.)

Jason Robert Brown has played Jamie (w/Lauren Kennedy as Cathy) at least once before so it isn't a one time engagement.
Spamalot is dark on Monday so it's at least possible that Lauren could do it.
ETA: I just ordered the entire series for Reprise! I'll be in Row E as well!

Posted: 12/22/05 at 11:24pmJRB played the part at a Cooper Union staging a few years ago in a concert version. He was very funny. I'm sure he'll be great.

Steve, have you heard any murmers as to who will be playing Cathy in this production yet?
It's less than a month away, I figure they would have made an announcement by now.
