This is fantastic casting! Great to see this show revived.

I couldn't believe what I was reading. Super excited! This is WAY too early but I want a cast recording.

Were there any rumblings about this at all? I am SUPER excited but I'm shocked they managed to keep this so under wraps.

This is stunning news that is very exciting! Laura Benanti ending her too-long hiatus from Broadway in one of my favorite shows. She will slay the score and I agree JoseLee, a cast recording is necessary. I love the 1994 recording with Howard McGillin and Boyd Gaines, although I'm still bummed to this day that they recorded after the supreme Judy Kuhn left the show and was replaced by the completely plain Diane Fratantoni. Laura will be a superlative Amalia Balash, I'm certain.

I am so happy! The college in my hometown did this show, and I fell in love with it! I can't wait to see it!

Can Radnor sing (I seriously don't know- not trying to be snarky)?
Georg is not an easy sing.

Good role for Missy B. Hope these two get along better than her other co-stars.
I love this show but is this a little soon for another Roundabout version?

Radnor did a benefit concert of this a few years ago for Roundabout -- did anyone go to get an idea of his vocal abilities?

He sounds pretty good, his voice is at least pleasant.
Also, it's been 20 years since the last time it was revived so I wouldn't say it's too soon.
I found this when I googled...

Just went back and watched Benanti on Show People from a few months ago. I guess this was the thing "happening in 2016 that she couldn't talk about but was excited for". & we all assumed it was Waitress, who knew? What a great secret Laura was keeping!

Someone said it is way too early. What are you smoking? The last revival closed in 1994, over 20 years ago. I think there have been 3 Gypsy revivals and God knows how many Cat on a Hot Tin Roof revivals, for contrast.
This is a great show and 20 years is overdue, as far as I am concerned.

They said it was too early to be speaking of a recording, but that they want one.
edit: oops, didn't see CurtainPullDowner's comment, I thought JoseLee's comment was being referenced.

I saw the Roundabout benefit concert.
Radnor was marvelous in it and indeed he does sing.

Aaron Lazar and Annaleigh Ashford would be good choices for Kodaly and Ilona.

LOVE this casting! Does that mean we're gonna have 2 Bock/Harnick shows in the same season, since Fiddler is opening in the fall? That'll be fun! I know Radnor can at least carry a tune. He sang on HIMYM a couple times, plus I've heard a bootleg of him as Paul in Company. "Today is for Amy" etc.

One of the best scores ever written for the stage. And Radnor, for my money, delivers the best performance in DISGRACED (along with Karen Pittman, the highlight of the production). If he's one of our new go-to leading men in musical theater, great.

I personally thought it was gonna be The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
