They're already casting this production all wrong, so I guess Constantine Maroulis or Lin-Manuel Miranda can play Billy.
And Countess Luann can be Hope.

'Tasia as Hope?
1) I LOVE that she is so popular & well known that she doesn't even need a whole first name!
2) What exactly do you think makes "Tasia" so perfect for this role? Please- I REALLY would like to know what inspired this suggestion!
Or wait- are you just one of those people who suggests their favorite actress for every role no matter how absurd?

Posted: 11/29/10 at 6:46pmSomeone on ATC said they heard that Colin Donnell was cast as Billy.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Posted: 11/29/10 at 7:15pmI don't know why all these powerhousey actress keep getting suggested for Hope. Hope pretty much a nothing, thankless role with a milquetoasty personality. She's basically only there to sing "It's De-Lovely" with Billy and provide a center for the romantic ridiculousness to revolve around.

It's this comment. I don't know how reliable the information is, though.

Yeesh, talk about cheaping out. Is there any way they could get Harry Connick Jr. for this?
This is him as Fiyero...not terribly impressive

Posted: 11/29/10 at 9:46pmI saw Colin twice as Fiyero. Not impressed with him at all.

Posted: 11/30/10 at 8:28amI guess Roundabout has reached their quality quotient with Foster and Grey and are just going to half-ass the rest of the roles.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Posted: 11/30/10 at 9:55amI think I might be more interested in who they cast as Lord Evelyn, at this point.

Aren't they reviving the 1987 edition of Anything Goes? That gives Hope the lovely, heartbreaking "Goodbye Little Dream" after Billy's arrest. The role's a little bigger in that version to. It's still thankless pretty love interest stuff, but at least she gets a solo song. It's a good one, too, even if it does grind the narrative to a halt right before the climax.

Posted: 11/30/10 at 6:37pmDon't forget "All Through the Night"
#45Anything goes revival Billy and Hope casting
Posted: 11/30/10 at 7:27pmHoly sh*t...I went to college with Colin and he is mega-talented. I am insanely jealous but also very happy for him (if the rumor is true). He would be a very good Billy.

"Don't forget "All Through the Night" "
I have nightmares about doing that in about double time with half the song cut out for a high school production because the orchestra director didn't trust the students to sing it. Who did that piss off? Me, the vocal music director that spent a week rehearsing them on it. Lovely song, otherwise.
