Found this "cast list" posted on ATC...don't know how true it is, but if it is true, then this is gonna be one hell of a production:
"Elaine Stritch
Barbara Cook
Chita Rivera
Angla Lansbury
Patricia Morrison (!)
Patrice Munsel (?)
Tyne Daly
Kitty Carlisle Hart (!!!)
Alice Playten (too young)
Linda Lavin
Michelle Lee
more to follow....."
Sounds way too good to be true.... Will wait for an "offical" announcement.

This was a "wish list" - absolutely NOT a cast list!

Alice Playten is my age give or take and definitiely not too young.
Where are the men?
If that cast list proves to be even half true, I'd be booking plane tickets at record speed.
it's going to be kaye ballard and sally ann howes with a few others. maybe julie wilson, but she isn't able to focus for long onstage -- and she is forgetful these days.
ps. i also heard doris roberts but that is unconfirmed.

Next thing you know, Ziemba will be replacing LuPone in SWEENEY!
SHUT UP PATTI LUPONE!
ps. i also heard marge champion...
Alice Playten is in her late 50's... she's a little younger than the rest of the group...

rath - wasn't there a rumor on this board about KZ as Lovett (before LuPone was confrimed)? Didn't YOU start that rumor?
There was a rumor, that's the joke I was making. No, I didn't start it - Margo referenced something I said, which had NOTHING to do with SWEENEY and everything to do with LEADING LADIES in DC. Somehow, on ATC, it turned into Karen replacing Patti.
what show is this for?
