Wow, they could be twins! I guess Drew will play Tracey...

I'm guessing you haven't seen Drew Carey lately? He lost a lot of weight.

I think he's implying, if he's serious, that Drew Carey could be Wilbur Turnblad, which sounds like a good fit.

Blonsky will be Tracy, or Winokur.

I approve. I love Drew Carey and think he'll be great.

Oh? I think he'd be a good fit for Wilbur too! It just sounded like he thought he was still big and would just look like a twin of Edna. hmm.

Awesome! I LOVE Drew and Harvey. Perfect pairing. I hope this is true.

can they just announce that Blonsky will be Tracy. I mean, it's not like she's doing anything else.

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Ouch! You're not kidding -- Nikki Blonsky's last gig was the 2010 ABC Family series titled HUGE. She hasn't done anything since nor has anything lined-up anytime soon. Poor gal.

She did Love Loss and What I Wore in NY after Huge

I am definitely intrigued by Drew Carey as Wilbur. I still would just love to see Eric Stonestreet as his Mrs. though...

Was hoping for Nathan Lane! But, this is most welcome.

Gonna predict Blondky for Tracy, and either Matthew Morrison or NPH for Corny. Darren Criss as Link...

I must see this!

Now sorry for the bowl seating question, where do I need to sit for a great view? Any areas to avoid?

The Bowl is a gigantic outdoor theatre. You won't get close to the stage unless somebody dies and you inherit their box seats. The good news is that sitting back a few sections is both affordable and very enjoyable. They always have giant TV screens on either side, and the acoustics are great anywhere (which is why they built it there).

EDIT: And make sure to bring a picnic dinner with you and a good pair of binoculars. Those are a must!

The Bowl hasn't announced it yet, and there haven't been any press on this.

Why do some people post this info without proof?

Remember last year when people told us that Adam Lambert was Angel in RENT at the Hollywood Bowl? I'll believe all this when I see a press release.

I hope they never discuss politics. Since Drew supports politicians who don't support people like Harvey.
