Regardless of the roles? I want them back on Broadway soon, too, but I want them back in roles that they're, you know, right for.

Not being Raul's biggest Fan,
I actually thought he might be interesting in this role,
not so much vocally, but actorally.
What's the dirt, billing? Money?

Well from somebody directly involved with the show, the cast list will be out in the New York Times this week.

I'll take the wind and soar.

No, it won't.

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Haha, they must be having a hard time with some of the contracts and sealing the deal. It's taking FOREVER!

Casting is a very difficult puzzle. At least in the regional world you don't make offers for every role all at once. Using Night Music as an example, a smart director would cast their Desiree first, make sure she is onboard, then proceed with other roles such as Fredrik. After all, your second choice Desiree may not work with your first choice for Fredrik, which means if you sent both of your first choices offers and then your Desiree declines and you have to go with the second choice but your first choice Fredrik accepts then you are stuck with a less than ideal pair. But if you get Desiree in line first then you can find an ideal match for her for Fredrik, even if it may not have been the person you initially had as your first choice.

I know Broadway Secrets is not the best source, but this is the first I've heard of this "rumor." I haven't heard his name mentioned anywhere on this thread. Any truth to this rumor, or just a fan's wishes?

Aaron Lazar bores me.

I'd heard a more interesting name for Carl-Magnus, but then again I had heard twenty more interesting names than Hannah Waddingham for Desiree, and that didn't get me anywhere.
I think Lazar looks awfully young for Carl-Magnus, but I guess it'd work.

Lazar signed on at the end of last week.

He will indeed be playing Carl-Magnus.

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.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

I want to lick his nose. but that's independent from my feelings of him as an actor.

I know I'm not very good with this...but is his voice really right for Carl-Magnus?

This thread is giving me a freaking headache. I think I'm gonna have to leave it until there's an OFFICIAL announcement.

Everyone is telling a different story about who is cast and who isn't...

Considering the women that were rumored for Charlotte at one point or another, I think casting someone Lazar's age makes sense. Good for him, it's such a great role, I really hope he makes the most out of it. I enjoy him in the LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA filmed performance. And I think it'd be a lot of fun to see how the age difference between Desiree and him will play out as well as the age difference between him and whoever plays Fredrick, especially in "It Would Have Been Wonderful."

Lazar has a great voice. And that's about it for him.

A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.

I think Lazar is one of the most talented young actors on Broadway. Good for him.

time for a summary of rumors and probabilities (you decided which is which):

Desiree: Hannah W. from England or Marin Mazzie
Frederick: No one really on track (still hopeful for Stokes Mitchell)
Madame Armfeldt: Angela Lansbury
Carl-Magnus: Aaron Lazar
Charlotte: Jenny Powers
Petra: Leigh Ann Larkin
Anne: Ramona Mallory
Henrick: Hunter Herdlicka

So no chance of Bernadette this time?

Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

No, it's not Bernadette.
Marin Mazzie would be fantastic, but isn't she pushing 50? I thought that made her "too old" for this revival.

Then that would make Bernadette way too old.
