Anything new on Almost Famous... — Page 2

Rumor has it that Sing Street is already signed up for the Lyceum.

I saw Almost Famous in San Diego and loved it. I do, think, however, that a couple of roles in the show need to be recast with more seasoned Broadway veterans. Solea is the one cast member who is definitive in her role.

I wonder if the August Wilson might be a possibility. Mean Girls is expensive to run and they're resorting to stunt casting a somewhat unqualified YouTube star. Maybe they're on the way out?

Not a confirmation necessarily, but I found a New York EPA listing today that says the production will rehearse in August, preview in October, and then open in November. Hmm...

Nederlander Theatre.

The EPA (for one standby role) breakdown: http://www.playbill.com/job/almost-famous-nyc-epa-21120/0000016f-f2d7-deeb-a77f-ffd7dfc60000

What's with people NEVER re-casting from an out-of-town? Is it just a union/contract thing?

OuttaTowner said: "Interesting that they’re not showing the part of William as being cast. Casey Likes received near glowing reviews, so I’m sure that the producers are hoping to sign him. "

It says all roles are cast, and they are seeking only a standby for William. Seems like all of the premiere principals are transferring.
