I'm very glad it is mostly newcomers and unknowns to give you that sort of stranger feel to them and being able to warm up to their characters and really see them as the part, as opposed to already knowing that familiar actor or so.
Will d'Amboise get first billing? Or will the billing alphabetical?

That's an interesting question. I'm sure Margo knows the definite answer, but I speculate that they'd want to remain true to Bennett's original concept and list the cast in alphabetical order although of course D'Amboisse will probably be the main reason people looking for a name will go.
I'm pretty sure you're right BohemianDream. I do think it should stay true to the alphabetical billing just so it gives the show it's original concept that everyone is part of "One" Chorus Line. I get to see it in November which I'm sure will have most of the original cast in it--if not all.
So excited to see D'Ambroisse though

I would assume it'll be alphabetical, but haven't heard anything official.
Funny. The only two people I know are the first two listed.

I got to meet Jeffrey Schecter when he was in Wonderful Town he was a really sweet guy. I'm glad to see he has work again. I really can't wait untill this opens. Any word on a theater yet?
My cousin's are friends of Jeffrey Scheter's and I saw him in Wonderful Town. He seems really cool. That's awesome! And I'm really excited for Charlotte D'Amboise, she was amazing in Chicago when I saw her and for Michael Beresse. He was great in Piazza and such a nic guy!!!!
I think they did say last year that the others "ensemble" would be unknowns. It is appropriate that Charlotte and Michael have their parts. Their both gypsies - I mean Charlotte's been around for ages since "Jerome Robbins Broadway" and "Carrie".
Tyler Hanes. He is adorable, and was great in the Charity ensemble.
TYLER HANES IS THE NEW FENDER IN HAIRSPRAY.
Thanks Margo for posting this... I'm really excited to see it...
I think Jeffrey Schecter is in The Pajama Game right now. And we all know Alisan Porter as Curly Sue--I didn't know she was a dancer.
Sooo glad to see this up! As soon as I saw it I did a search for the person who played Judy, because that was the part I played in the production thant i was in Last year
"If we don't live happily ever after at least we survive until the end of the week!" -Kermit the frog "I need the money... it costs a lot to look this cheap!" -Dolly P. "Oh please, Over at 'Gypsy' Patti LuPone hasn't even alienated her first daughter yet!" Mary Testa in "Xanadu" "...Like a drunk Chita Rivera!" Robin de Jesus in "In the Heights"
"B*tch, I don't know your life." -Xanadu After that if he still doesn't understand why you were uncomfortable and are now infuriated, kick him again but this time with Jazz Hands!!! -KillerTofuLeading Actor Joined: 8/17/05
Wasn't MICHAEL PATERNOSTRO in The Producers as Carmen on tour?
Thanks! I guess those rumors about Jai Rodriquez as Paul didn't come true.
I guess Shelia and Mark aren't cast yet. I LOVE Shelia!
Which character is Bebe? I forget...
But Alisan Porter rocks.I can't believe she was Curly Sue. If you get a chance, check out her website and listen to her sample tracks. They're AMAZING!!!

Bebe sings the second solo during the song "At The Ballet," the solo starts with "Mother always said I'd be very attractive, when I grew up, when I grew up..."
I knew that named looked familar, but I couldn't remember where. Now I remember, She was "Curly Sue" and also in one of my favorite movies "Parenthood"!
James is in Dreamgirls right now in Philly. He plays the MC in the beginning and a few other ensemble roles.
I can't wait for it to open on Broadway!
HBO is doing a documentry on the Revival
Jai Rodriquez couldn't dance it. He probably couldn't act it either.
MTVMANN --- Good point. Where ARE Sheila and Mark?
I'm very excited to see this, though.
