Interesting casting. I love Annaleigh Ashford...but for Wednesday Addams? Matthew Gumley as Pugsley is great!

Did I really just read that right? Annaleigh Ashford?
Wow, she is the last actor I would ever think would read for Wednesday... I think it will be very interesting!
I'm really, really excited for this.

Annaleigh Ashford as Wednesday Addams??? You've got to be f***ing kidding me. Horrific casting. Hopefully she is just in it for the reading and is not cast for the Broadway show.

Marylouise Burke as Grandmama? Brilliant!

For her to be cast as wednesday she must have given the best audition ever...this sounds amazing.

Krysta Rodriquez!?!?! WOW! I guess she never plans to take a break.

Wasn't there a blonde that always teased Wednesday? maybe Ashford's that and the Wednesday is just a typo? I love her but I can't see her.

and lord, Krysta R. is always on top of the ball with new projects

I had the same "WTF?" reaction when I read Ashford would be playing Wednesday.
Otherwise, a perfect cast. It is quite fantastic that they got Bebe Neuwirth, the most ideal person for Morticia. Hopefully she'll stick with the production through its Broadway run, then I will definitely see it.

Most of us are just familiar with Ashford's ditzy side (Legally Blonde, Wicked), but I think she can pull it off. She is a very smart actress, and is absolutely hysterical. I think she would also be able to pull a role like Inga from Young Frankenstein off.

Relax kids, it's just a reading! This isn't final casting by any means...

Now that I think about it - Annaleigh Ashford might not be bad for wednesday - who is definitely a witty character, it'd just be a new branch of humor for her to cover

This really is perfect casting. I can't believe Bebe, Nathan, Krysta!! Wow. I am so excited for this. What do you think the odds are for them keeping the same cast around for their Broadway run? And for a reading, how much are ensemble really needed?

So this is like, Sunday football armchair quarterbacking for the theater crowd?

Why dump on Annaleigh Ashford? She has talent and a rapidly expanding resume. I said months ago she should be creating another role, not playing Glinda in Chicago. I'm glad this is happening and we'll all probably laugh our asses off.
