Betsy Wolfe was in "110 in the Shade" in an ensemble track (her solo lines were standouts) and I saw her perform with City Ballet this winter as a soloist. I think she did Spelling Bee somewhere as well. She has a gorgeous voice.
ETA: Whoa. Whoa. I just read the actual announcement. I'm pretty excited about this, all around.

Posted: 6/4/08 at 6:03pmIt's quite a cast. They even got Deven May.

This is a fantastic cast.
Here's hoping this materializes into a full scale production, through Roundabout or elsewhere.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.

Posted: 6/4/08 at 6:15pmBetsy was in Camelot at the Philharmonic with me. She is super nice and amazingly talented and is going to be phenomenal.
Current Avatar:The sensational Aaron Tveit in the soon to be hit production of Catch Me If You Can.

Posted: 6/4/08 at 6:16pmI would see this just for the supporting cast.
I chose, and my world was shaken. So what?
The choice may have been mistaken. The choosing was not.

Sir and Auntie...they were the ones that took care of the twins before they hit the freak show, right? Apparently they were really abusive. The twins sued them and won.
Edit: Should be interesting to see how they work in Houdini!

Posted: 6/4/08 at 6:45pmTotally agree about Betsy Wolfe. Saw her in Boston in BEE and at Paper Mill in Ragtime. She played Evelyn Nesbitt. She was terrific in both.

Posted: 6/4/08 at 6:47pmThis is one of my favorite shows of all time. I won't even get into how many times I've seen it. The cast looks really interesting though I am somewhat puzzled/intrigued by Aaron Lazar as Terry. I'd give my left toes to see the reading.

Posted: 6/4/08 at 6:51pmDavie did not in any way, shape, or form ruin Grey Gardens. In fact, I thought she was the standout in the first act, not Ebersole.

Posted: 6/4/08 at 6:56pmDavie will be marvelous as Violet just like she was marvelous in Grey Gardens and in Applause. That girl is doing well.

Get out.
"Davie did not in any way, shape, or form ruin Grey Gardens. In fact, I thought she was the standout in the first act, not Ebersole."
Ditto, but to be fair the book is focused on Little Edie in general.

AMAZING cast.
I loved Erin Davie in Grey Gardens, but she was not a standout.
Yes, she was. Her subtleties were just extraordinary.
How do I get to see this? Haha.

Posted: 6/4/08 at 7:19pmI'll admit that I was never a huge fan of the show (have tried time and time again, but just could never get into it), but WOW, what a cast! Betsy Wolfe and Erin Davie are just both SO perfect.

Betsy Wolfe is pretty fierce.
Davie's pretty firce too, and the whole cast is WAY fierce. I'm excited.
Of note: Daniel C. Levine, who I worked with a couple summers ago. He's awesome.
