Interesting choice. Arden has so far proven to be successful at taking on contemporary musicals (Spring Awakening, Once on This Island). Though the classic musicals he's taken on to date (My Fair Lady, Merrily We Roll Along), they haven't been as talked about.

Hopefully Carol Burnett reprises her Miss Hannigan for the ages as it’s only one performance. Please keep Jane Lynch away from this.

Carol would be amazing, but it's 3 performances. I hope they do all stars, instead of just Hannigan.

Good for Arden!

I just really wish he was doing THE SECRET GARDEN revival.

Looking forward to this. I love Lea as grace. Please say NO Jane Lynch for Hannigan.
