I can't wait to see who will be joining the cast!

I have been told Jennifer Simard is playing the Stepmother.

Carolee Carmello and Grace McLean are playing the Stepmother and Queen, respectively!

Love to see women described as “ditzy” and “husband-hungry” in a press release……………………

I need to know the name of the dude with the beard at the end.

Dobson jumping ship from A BEAUTIFUL NOISE to this.

I love that so many people are making their Broadway debuts with this show too!
Posted: 12/7/22 at 9:52am
In the year of our lord 2022, are we still doing Real Housewives parodies?
Posted: 12/7/22 at 9:58am
I might consider seeing this now that Carolee is gonna be the stepmother but it's not certain for me. I've said this before, I was gonna see this show IF and only if Carrie came over from London but that sadly did not happen. However, I think this cast might do well. The only question now is how much improvement did the creative team do from the London run?

Because ditzy and/or husband hungry villainous characters don’t exist?

Guess not unless she has something else booked.

Looks like Mike Baerga grew said beard. He was last seen on Broadway in the ensemble of King Kong... alongside your beloved Casey Garvin.

Grace McLean is definitely the most exciting part of this for me, though I'm excited to see what Carolee Carmello will bring as well.
Posted: 12/7/22 at 5:14pm
It feels below Carolee Carmello but I forget she actually hasn’t originated many hit shows.

So much talent and she's constantly put into flops. Tuck Everlasting, Finding Neverland, Scandalous, Lestat.

She’s done Lestat, Mamma Mia, Tuck Everlasting, Finding Neverland… that “below” ship has sailed.
(EDIT: ACL posted their message as I was typing mine, so never mind. Haha)

I knew I would probably see the show, just to see it. Now that Carolee is in it, I am there.
Posted: 12/7/22 at 6:38pm
She did Mamma Mia on and off for some time(4-5 years?) and that wasn't a flop. Not a good show, but she was probably the best Donna I saw.
Posted: 12/7/22 at 8:06pm
She’s the epitome of a working actor. So hats off to her.
Posted: 12/7/22 at 9:51pm
I’ve seen Carolee Carmello in Sweeney Todd, Tuck Everlasting, Finding Neverland, Scandalous, Sister Act, and The Addams Family. She is one of my favorite broadway actors. Her and Grace McLean are the only names I recognize from this cast announcement. Must be a lot of debuts!

Alexis Scheer - playwright if the great OUR DEAR DEAD DRUG LORD - is now being credited with “additional book material.”
