To be fair none of the articles I've seen about her Peacock series list dates –– sometimes things get announced and then take months or years for all the ducks to get in a row –– but I'll assume that it would begin in the next 10 months and conflict.

According to you, this whole production was never happening at all. So you have no credibility whatsoever. Take a seat.

I’m quite comfortable standing actually. Can smell that New Orleans flair from here!
If you want to play the direct quote game…
please reference the Sunset Boulvard thread for your credibility. I think you’re owed multiple eggs in the face.

If they don’t do the New Orleans thing, it’s because it all changed when they had to get a new director at the last minute and she convinced George c Wolfe to do it. They 100% had/have a new book writer who wrote a new book. They’re going to start rehearsing the show on Monday. Curious to hear what they do with these additional weeks of work.

Start building your case early, my dove. Proactive. I like it.

Broadway Flash is always right- it’s reality that’s wrong.

Seeing and enjoying Broadway shows has nothing to do with any discourse on this site. I can see and enjoy Broadway shows, but also think some people on here are idiots.

Since Jordan Tyson is leaving Notebook early October 6..........could she be playing June in Gypsy as that would be 6 weeks of rehearsal before previews start? I was hoping Joy Woods as Louise but I don't think that's gonna happen?

How is this selling? We've been debating tickets but haven't heard much buzz other than McDonald's involvement. Now that Wolfe is returning we pray his splats with movies have not influenced his theatrical direction.
How hot is the ticket for those who follow the box office?

I’ve taken a look and there is some demand especially considering how far out. I predict that all early performances will be sold out or close to sold out and whether or not the show succeed will depend on word of mouth.

Is this a color blind production or color conscious?

Based on casting calls, it’s definitely a color conscious production. They’re looking for a biracial actress to play Baby and Dainty June, a Black actress to play Louise, and a white actor to play Herbie. And Rose’s standby/understudies will presumably be Black as well.

My favorite detail in the casting breakdown is that the newsboys in Baby June’s act are black, but the boys in Dainty June’s act are white. So rose has gone from playing a black act, to black audiences, to playing a white-passing act for white audiences, moving closer to stardom. It’s a great idea.

Isn't today the first rehearsal? We should be getting a full cast announcement soon, if not today.

According to the casting breakdowns, first day of rehearsal is September 30th. 🤷🏻♂️

Yes but according to one poster on here (who has never ever been wrong about anything), the first rehearsal is today so obviously that supersedes the casting notice!

I heard elsewhere today was the first table read, but I guess that was incorrect.
