I really hope that's true. I very much want to see Courtney Reed in this.

I believe Jessie Mueller was called in to audition for this, though I don't believe she got it. I say this only to point out that I think they are seeing actresses of all ethnicities for this role.

^^ Is there a reason to think that Andrew Keenan Bolger would be involved in this? I could totally see that one.

All contracts have been signed. Look for the full cast announcement the last week of August. ;o)

According to Twitter, a good amount of people want Darren Criss to star as Aladdin. He'll fit better in the show rather than How to Succeed, I'll say that.

'I believe Jessie Mueller was called in to audition for this, though I don't believe she got it.'

She's got something much bigger on the horizon for this season.

Would this "something" happen to be the Funny Girl revival?

At this point, I'm just praying for not all-white principals. Come on, Disney.

'Would this "something" happen to be the Funny Girl revival?'

Nope. It's a 'new' musical. Unless the deal falls apart.

"At this point, I'm just praying for not all-white principals. Come on, Disney." Race isn't a issue with Disney Theatrics (Norm Lewis in TLM, Adam Jacobs in TLK, Toni Braxton in Beauty and the Beast, etc.) As far as we know, Jasmine could be played by a black woman.

They can (and usually do) use color blind casting all the time

Assuming it's already been announced.. I'm going to say Bullets Over Broadway. Is Jessie too young for Eden? (maybe someone might want to start a new thread for the Jessie gossip)

It isn't. And I'm honestly shocked there hasn't been an announcement yet.

Regardless of who's in it, this is one show I'm dying to see. I can't wait to see who gets cast!

If the rumors I have heard are true the leads would not be all white. The source is reliable enough that I don't want to say any more tho.

If what I am hearing from the grapevine is true then the cast will be all black. I don't consider this source reliable so don't quote me. I also can't divulge on the name of the source so don't ask! Just don't!

If you mean all black as in the ensemble members too then I know for a fact that, that information is incorrect.

"If what I am hearing from the grapevine is true then the cast will be all black."

Wow.

If that rumor is true, that would be VERY interesting.
