copskid949 said: "Look I’m just gonna say it. Regardless of how you feel about people leaking information, Sweaty Oracle was on the money this entire time. Even the casting that didn’t happen seems to line up in the timeline for how long it actually took them to solidify and reveal a cast relative to opening."

It's all well and good if he wants to tell us who an offer is out to (if that info is correct).

It's not all well and good to speak about casting as though it's a done deal when it is still in the offer/negotiation phase.

It's rare that directors get their first choice for any show, especially when stars are concerned. You're rarely ever seeing the top choices for a role, and more often than not that works out for the best.

I don't have the link right now, but if you go to Lili Thomas' instagram page, she has a video of her singing "When You're Good To Mama" from her time in CHICAGO at an outside concert. It's very good and very Mazzeppa.

Tulsa: John Cardoza

Rose’s Dad: Dorian Harewood"

What's all this hype around Cardoza? He's nothing special in my book.

Well I guess then your book isn't the only book in the library?

A really toxic member of this board was just removed: celebrate that with a little less snark in the comments. Don't mean to isolate any one member, god knows I've been guilty, just a suggestion to all of us.

He recently left The Outsiders, so this tracks

Any truth to the LaChanze rumor?

Love Jacob!

I wonder why they're delaying announcing her standby?unless whoever they originally had backed out?"

I've heard that Sharon Catherine Brown will stand by for Audra."


That would make a lot more sense than LaChanze, who feels far too established to be a standby without a guaranteed performance each week (and as of now tickets are being sold with the intention of Audra doing all 8 a week)

Sharon’s voice probably is more typical of the character. I would love to see her do the role.

You’re right this makes more sense!
