Just 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?

Waddingham is 5'11".

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.

I'm fairly certain Esparza is no longer attached to this.

where is this announcment!!!???!!!

Isn't Benanti doing IN THE NEXT ROOM? Or is that just another idle rumor?

I 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.

With 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.

Variety mentioned her doing it. They're usually spot on.

I'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.

Posted: 7/13/09 at 4:19pm

Seriously, sometimes I want to be like, "JUST SHUT UP ALREADY."

But that would not be very nice.

I have inside info that Queen Latifa signed on to play Desiree months ago.

[givesmevoice]

Posted: 7/13/09 at 4:48pm

please, no one would believe she's Angela Lansbury's daughter.

[WiCkEDrOcKS]

Posted: 7/13/09 at 4:51pm

Who is "her," BobbyBubby?

[givesmevoice]

Posted: 7/13/09 at 4:53pm

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.

But Leavel is doing MAMMA MIA!

When is NIGHT MUSIC supposed to be opening?

[givesmevoice]

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.

Night Music is looking to open in December.

Posted: 7/13/09 at 4:59pm

I think BobbyBubby was saying that Variety mentioned Laura Benanti doing IN THE NEXT ROOM, not Beth Leavel doing NIGHT MUSIC.

this is why we use names and not unattached pronouns.
