Roundabout should just go ahead and announce it already. At this point, it is getting ridiculous.
I like Anne Hathaway, but I'd rather see Nina Arianda as Sally.

"I wonder if Alan will comment on the revival itself now that the cat's pretty much out of the bag."
Alan pretty much let the cat out of the bag already. In addition to alluding to Cabaret with Seth Rudetsky, read the article I linked to. Cumming says he'll be dancing on Broadway in a show he's done before. Since there's dancing, it can only be Cabaret or Threepenny Opera. He even essentially gave dates, saying rehearsals begin the day after after his 49th birthday - so we're talking 2014.
I agree with Matt - what is Roundabout waiting for? Are they afraid of the loss of momentum? If so, too bad - their star has already, for all intents and purposes, made the announcement for them.
It's gonna happen...happen NO TIME, maybe NEXT TIME they'll ask her reps first.
And Nina Arianda would be a great Sally.
Elena Roger and Ricky Martin would be amaze balls together in this.
Does Sally ever sing a word with "qual" in it?

Too funny. BWW has changed their announcement and is now referring to the article I just linked to.
Gee, I wonder where they found that?
Wouldn't it be funny if Alan was just having a go at Seth and the interviewer?

Funny, but when I saw them in EVITA, I thought I was watching CABARET.
It's gotta happen. Happen sometime. Maybe this time ...
I was hoping The Mistress would have been in a monkey costume, at least.

Apparently Anne H publicists are denying it...

Anne Hathaway will never be on Broadway. she's too self conscious and neurotic to be on stage like that.
But not self conscious and neurotic for Shakespeare in the Park? You know, that little joint uptown know for its unique difficulties being open air and in the Park?

In which she got rave reviews, to boot? In a Shakespeare play?
Nah, no pressure there.

Adding to that, wasn't all the feedback from cast and crew very positive? Sure, no one was likely to publicly bash her, but as I recall there wasn't even a hint of anything negative regarding her attitude, work ethic, or performance.
I don't think there is nearly as much scrutiny or as much at stake involved with SitP. Well, unless you are Amy Adams. I do wonder if Hathaway has any interest in pursuing Broadway, she's definitely had the chance (I wish she had followed through with the PROMISES, PROMISES revival). I hope this means there's still a chance Arianda will be involved.
Looks like Roundabout couldn't wait any longer. Officially been confirmed with Cumming reprising his role, via the NY Times. Hathaway still unconfirmed.

i wouldnt say the denial rules her out, wouldnt be the first time a rep denies a rumour for a star to it then be true some time later. either someone jumped the gun on leaking the news or put two and two together and made five

^ ^ this looks like a person who wants to be rubbed on by stage door groupies every night for months
so wait. - - - - - - > are you comparing a few non pressure shows at Shakespeare in the Park during the summer outside - - - > to starring in a Broadway house play or musical as an Oscar nominee (now winner) ?

OMG, she wears huge hats? She must be a witch! Burn her!

You are correct, madbrian.

she wears huge hats because she wants to be OUT of the spotlight right now. that pictures was just taken within the last month.
Not wanting a face full of paparazzi flashes isn't the same thing as not wanting to do work she cares about.
