Posted: 7/13/09 at 1:01pmJust saw this in the NY Times--"Sophie-Louise Dahn, playing the ?Night Music Star? Hannah Waddingham (standing on a box ? Ms. Waddingham is quite tall)"--which makes me wonder how tall Waddingham is?

I would love to see Laura Benanti as Anne. I saw her play the part in Los Angeles a few years ago and she's the best Anne I've ever heard.
She's too old for even a conventionally cast production at this point in life. And considering the fact that everyone has already draped Raul in the Mission Accomplished banner, he's only 9 years older than her, and they both look it.
Wanting life but never knowing how

Posted: 7/13/09 at 2:54pmI'm fairly certain Esparza is no longer attached to this.

Posted: 7/13/09 at 3:12pmwhere is this announcment!!!???!!!
A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC#608
Posted: 7/13/09 at 3:16pmIsn't Benanti doing IN THE NEXT ROOM? Or is that just another idle rumor?
A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC#609
Posted: 7/13/09 at 3:19pmI heard that, too, but at this point I'm ready to simply believe nothing until it's on Playbill. Is it just me, or is this year's rumor mill spinning a lot faster than it usually does? It could just be that I don't normally pay much attention, but I feel like there's way more of this somewhat speculative, somewhat truthful, "I KNOW THE TRUTH AHHH YAY ME" b.s. than usual. I have to say, it's exhausting. I know things, too, but I don't feel the need to dangle it in front of people's faces and make them all crazy with it. Jesus. This is getting so silly. Whatever happens is going to happen, it'll be announced when it will, and there's not a damned thing any of us can do about it.

Posted: 7/13/09 at 3:20pmWith Levael being announced for Mama Mia! got me thinking she would be a great Desiree but I guess she is too "old"

It may have to do with the fact that last season was so sensational for the most part with so many celebrities stepping into the limelight. Now everyone wants to feel like they're going to break the news of an A-lister coming to Broadway this season or whatever.
Whatever happens is going to happen, it'll be announced when it will, and there's not a damned thing any of us can do about it.
And that's the truth. Although I'm sure we'll hear quite a lot of bitching and moaning once the cast is announced. SOMEONE's bound to be pissed off.

People are going to be disappointed. Almost inevitably. Regardless of the outcome.
Everybody wants to feel like they know what's going and be lauded as the one to break it first. But the blind trust of ANYTHING is amazing.

Posted: 7/13/09 at 3:54pmVariety mentioned her doing it. They're usually spot on.
A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC#614
Posted: 7/13/09 at 4:12pmI'm with Emcee. At this point, what's the point of speculating? Everybody seems to be saying different things and everyone is "in the know." I'll just wait, see the show if the cast sounds appealing, or not see it if it doesn't.

Seriously, sometimes I want to be like, "JUST SHUT UP ALREADY."
But that would not be very nice.

Posted: 7/13/09 at 4:44pmI have inside info that Queen Latifa signed on to play Desiree months ago.

Posted: 7/13/09 at 4:48pmplease, no one would believe she's Angela Lansbury's daughter.

I hope it's Beth Leavel, since that was the last name mentioned before BobbyBubby's post.
but she's a better Charlotte, in my opinion.
A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC#620
Posted: 7/13/09 at 4:56pm
But Leavel is doing MAMMA MIA!
When is NIGHT MUSIC supposed to be opening?
A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC#621
Posted: 7/13/09 at 4:58pm
haha, I was joking, rOcKs! I think BobbyBubby meant Waddingham, but I'm not positive.
December 2009/January 2010, I believe.
A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC#623
Posted: 7/13/09 at 4:59pmI think BobbyBubby was saying that Variety mentioned Laura Benanti doing IN THE NEXT ROOM, not Beth Leavel doing NIGHT MUSIC.
