Michael Arden as Buddy. Fyi- Michael is 5'11. I have a picture with him somewhere posted here..floating aound...and I am 5'9 and he is much taller than me like 2-3 inches more..
Also Alice Ripley is kinda old already..she's 44 (though she still looks fab as ever and i love her) but still.. she's old for the role... Its like me playing "Eponine" in Les Miserables..where I should be Fantine already ..I'm in my mid 30's already (I am soo Lea Salonga!)
lol!

I laugh every time I look at it.
It's ok... Confession time. Sunday I was babbling to someone at scoring about the concert in DC on April 11 and I said "Emily Ripley and Alice Skinner" then was like "WTF?? Reverse the first names!"
I want my voice back!!!!

When I read this I got all tingly down there. I would die to see this done again!
I think if they went with vocals and not looks..
I would love to see
Carolee Carmello and Marin Mazzie wrap their voices around the score.
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

This won't ever come to bway. The show isn't that good and the idea of singing siamese twins is no more appealing now that it was when the show played originally.
....but the world goes 'round

Not. Interested. I was too wrapped up in the original production when I was 17.
However, reunite the OBC for a concert and my wallet would open right up.
Now what would you say if today I started over?
Without a thing but this taped together four leaf clover
And I'll pretend like everything is already alright

Posted: 3/6/08 at 10:47amThis made my heart skip a beat and I too got tingly down there as well. I think the re-writes are to just even things out a bit more and I'm sure it will be nothing drastic.

Posted: 3/6/08 at 11:58amI'm just curious... but, why wouldn't they ask Robert Longbottom to direct the revival again? Do they just want someone new that could bring some fresh ideas?

Posted: 3/6/08 at 12:16pmBill Condon might be able to improve on it. I agree with the choice to bring him in. I think Rachel York is a little old for the role. She's Alice's age. I don't know who I'd cast. The twins are very difficult to cast and Alice and Emily were so extraordinary that it will be hard to match their performances. But I hope it happens. I want to see it so much.

Alice Ripley was born in 1963. Rachel York was born in 1972. Hardly the same age.

Maybe these two could play Violet and Daisy. They can sing the part.

Perhaps like in his adaptations of CHICAGO and DREAMGIRLS, he will have the only songs be sung onstage.
Book songs begone!
