Rumor is Sadie Sink and Joe Locke are cast already, based on what I’ve seen here and elsewhere. Sadie makes sense, given her continued working relationship with Danya Taymor. Joe would be a good get also since his reception in Sweeney Todd was very good.

She feels more like an Ilse than a Wendla, and he feels more like a Moritz than a Melchior, so I’ll be interested to see who they are if they are ultimately in the cast.

Also, Celia Rowlson-Hall’s choreography for The Testament of Ann Lee was far and away my favorite part of that movie. Her style feels very appropriate for the material.

Obviously things can change, but didn't Sadie Sink say in an interview that she wasn't interested in returning to musical theater?

This was from last year:

Now that Sink’s done a play on Broadway, is a musical next?

Sink answers with a very firm and fast no. “That vocal technique and stamina, I don't think I'm ready to take that on,” she says. 

A lot can change in a year, though. Between John Proctor and Romeo and Juliet, she's clearly enjoying being back on stage.

I do love Or

Kind of hope the [title of show] rumors are true so I can see that, Spring Awakening, and In the Heights all in the same weekend and pretend it's 2008 all over again.

Sink answers with a very firm and fast no. “That vocal technique and stamina, I don't think I'm ready to take that on,” she says. 

Makes sense, and she's been doing a lot of theater lately anyway. She is also starring and producing a show for FX later this year, so I doubt she's available.

Everyone on the OBC can sing incredibly well, so I doubt they would pick a person who physically can't do that or doesn't particularly want to.

Doing it in this space is very cool and no doubt, will be a hot ticket. 

Great decision to target off-Broadway, where it has a much better chance to return its investment.  Particularly given the crazy state of Broadway costs, I just don't think a revival of SA would be a good bet for a long run (the original ran about 25 months and there were plenty of empty seats for months).minimally required to return its investment (uness the lead(s) really were powerhouse ticket sellers and committed to a decent run).

but even so, I do like that Studio Seaview is making this an open call to give unknown stars a chance to shine...I mean for a show that 20 years ago (god it feels weird saying that, I feel so old) made future stars like Jonathan Groff, Lea Michele, John Gallagher Jr., Skylar Astin, Lilli Cooper, Krysta Rodriguez among others, it's only fitting that this show introduce the next generation of talent

Hope this is a great production, will see come next april if it's stillopen."

Personally I don't take anything he says seriously until it's officially announced by Playbill"

Despite the fact he's right a lot of the time...
