I don't like the tone of the article and it seems like the Hollywood Bowl isn't ready to announce yet. Wouldn't it have been better to wait for the official press release?

I'm terrible at these casting games, so someone needs to make some suggestions for Morales and Paul.

Mario literally works so close to there... they're bound to know he worked on it and probably will ask him.

Yes! After her performance in Grease Live I would love to see her as Morales!

An interesting, but odd choice because these summer shows at the Bowl usually are all about 'names' and I don't think there are too many name performers who could handle doing that choreography. Hiring 'names' in these roles also kind of defeats the whole point of the show...
But anyway, I would expect to see people like Derek and Julianne Hough sprinkled throughout the casting.
Jennifer Garner began her career as a dancer and singer on the stage - I wonder if she could handle Cassie.

Yes! I won't see this, but I need it to happen (and for someone to put it on Youtube).

Grease Live obv had an impact on people, as that cast included many of the names people are suggesting. I really think Mario Lopez is aged out of the role, but who knows. I would like to see a big name as Zach.

I really, really, really hope they don't ask Mario Lopez to do the show(as Zach). He really ruined the show on Broadway.

I'm not arguing FOR Mr. Lopez, but how could he "age out" of the role of Zach? It makes sense that Zach is older then most of those who audition, but why would he have an upper age limit, any more than Fosse or Bennett or Balanchine had an upper age limit when they had to stop directing? Hell, Agnes de Mille was supervising a revival of BRIGADOON from her wheelchair!

Patina Miller for Cassie?
Bring Telly Leung back for Paul?

Not really a fan of Hudgens. She's kinda bland and nondescript to me.
Is Rosario Dawson to old? I think she'd be great.
