How old is Stephen now anyway?
I think Jonathan Groff is a little young to play the narrator. Same goes for Kerry Butler as Mrs. Johnstone. And why would you wanna waste talents like Phoebe Strole and Brooke Sunny Moriber on those roles.
Maybe Jonathan as Mickey and Michael arden as Eddie Lyons.
Beth Leavel as Mrs. Johnstone
Herndon Lackey would be good as Mr. Lyons.

Kerry played a mother in Miracle Brothers, and she currently is one now. She's old enough to play Mrs. Johnstone.
That was my first impression to have Jonathan Groff play Mickey. That was a better idea. Who would you think could play Linda?
I'd say Will Chase as the narrator.

Posted: 1/13/08 at 1:47pmI think that Blood Brothers needs a British cast, TBH. Maybe Kerry Ellis as Mrs. Johnstone.
Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

-Dre- You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel.

It is a far, far better thing I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest I go to, than I have ever known.

A "Dream Concert" of Blood Brothers without THE Mrs. Johnstone, Barbara Dickson? Blasphemy...
