It should be noted, this production cuts some of the ending of "A Weekend In The Country." Let's hope it's restored for Broadway.

I would love to see Emma Thompson in this part! And with Angela too? Holy cow.

No Kate? 
So no Kate, no Kidman, so Thompsom? It'd be extremely disappointing if after all these rumors about A-listers, Hannah Waddingham gets the part.

We are all so easily swayed! You see one post with very little basis stating something and you automatically believe it to be true? Not to say I'm not a little bit guilty as charged, but at least the post I chose to belief came from someone with fairly proven inside knowledge.

LuvtheEmcee, you are so correct. I guess I'm just worried about the idea of getting too excited over the cast. I mean, what a cast it could be!

>I would be suprised if La Cage won Best Revival since the show just won in 2005...I still am skeptical to believe that it is coming back to Broadway this soon.<
They aren't reviving the 2005 revival.

I'm with Smaxie. The Tony is LA CAGE's. Ditto Doug Hodge.
This sounds like the buzz surrounding the transfer of Sunday in the Park with George all over again. Remember when that was announced? Best revival and the 2 leading acting awards were a done deal. How'd that work out?

had Gypsy and South Pacific been announced already? Gypsy wasn't, I don't think. it actually seems more ridiculous to be calling Tonys for La Cage when a slew of other revivals have already been announced. that might just be me though.

At the time, Sunday seemed like a done deal. Gypsy hadn't been announced and people had low expectations for South Pacific. I distinctly remember numerous people (many of whom are on this thread) dismissing it because they found the casting "boring." Again, look what happened. This season should be interesting. There's a lot to consider, mostly how all of these revivals will stand when they transfer. Finian's Rainbow could lose all the magic they had at Encores!, or Ragtime, ALNM and La Cage could suffer from some poor casting choices. For all we know, Bye Bye Birdie could be the revival to beat. Or Parade could get a seemingly-out-of-nowhere transfer from LA. We should definitely revisit this thread in April.

I still wouldn't think La Cage would win for simplying having won 4 years ago...no matter what production.
At any rate the "Best Revival" category should be very exciting and a few noteworthy shows might get left out...unlike this year with "Guy and Dolls".

Who cares who wins the Tony or not? I mean, come June we'll all be rooting for our favorite, but now I think we should all be excited that this season it seems we are actually getting new, interesting, and exciting musical revivals. If we end up getting a NIGHT MUSIC revival headlined by Winslet, Esparza, and Lansbury, this wonderful production of LA CAGE, the much-acclaimed RAGTIME revival, the FINIAN'S RAINBOW transfer, and a vibrant revival of BYE BYE BIRDIE, I honestly don't care who gets the Tony because really, getting these revivals is satisfactory enough.

What if NIGHT MUSIC is headed up by, say, Rachel York and not Kate Winslet? Are we all gonna kill ourselves?
#466
Posted: 7/3/09 at 11:42pm
No one will kill themselves. They'll all just roll their eyes and call it "boring" casting. That's usually what happens when it ends up being a theatre actor and not some movie star.

Yankee, we'll surely go the way of Heaven's Gate.

Talented as Rachel York is, she's certainly not Kate Winslet. It would be a huge step down.

Yankee, maybe not kill myself, but you bet I'll make a big drama out of it 
And sorry, Rachel York is good and all that, but there is only one Kate Winslet.

I'd love it if Rachel York were Desiree with Julie Andrews as Mme. Armfeldt.

Desiree will be a "theatre actor".

Interesting. For now, I'll stop getting excited about anything until I read the playbill.com announcement.

Truth be told, if Lansbury is Madame Armfeldt, I don't care who else is in the show. That piece of prospective casting excited me more than Winslet as Desiree.
