Robb Sapp? Really?
Michael McElroy was the Masked Man and Eric Millegan was Moritz.
I want to know who the Ilse is. I though she was amazing.

Posted: 6/21/07 at 9:18pmI have a very large joke about this workshop. That's all I'm sayin'. :P

Posted: 6/21/07 at 9:23pmWasn't Trey Ellet (from RENT) involved in a workshop of the show at some point?

Posted: 6/21/07 at 9:23pmAccording to a bio I found online, Nikki M. James was involved in this workshop. I think she was Martha, but at that point "The Dark I Know Well" hadn't been written yet.

Posted: 6/21/07 at 9:55pmChris Garneau was Hanshcen. Full cast list up in a second...

Haha, yes. A friend messaged Gavin Creel and he gave us a response. Not very thorough, he doesn't remember who played what or most people's last names but here's what he said:
Chris Garneau as Hanschen (LOVE him. Buy his CD.)
Alex Brummel (?)
Nikki M. James (Martha)
Michael Benjamin Washington (?)
Genna _______ (?)
Bridget Berger (?)
John Sullivan (?)
By the way, I think this is what he was trying to say. Gavin is a very interesting.....typer. It's like barely spaced. Anyways! I'm gonna do some Googling and see if I can narrow some things down.

Posted: 6/21/07 at 10:30pmThat sounds like a really cool cast, sucks it was so long ago, most of them could never pull off the age now next to some of the kids in there.

Posted: 6/21/07 at 11:44pmA little off topic. Did you know that they had an earlier workshop? Fall 1999 - 5-day workshop at the La Jolla Playhouse (10 scenes and 8 songs). Followed by a 3-week workshop in the summer of 2000 at Robert Redford's Sundance Theater Lab for its first full draft. I got that from their program.

Posted: 6/21/07 at 11:49pmCan someone help me with what were the names of the characters that were written in the show, but later removed. And more importantly, what was their character like? I know the Masked Man is one. I thought there were others.

One of the girls' roles was created. I believe it was Anna.
Another was Lammemeier, which is technically the last name of Otto.
