Toni Collette, who was extremely interested until her television show for Showtime (THE UNITED STATES OF TARA, from the creative team behind JUNO and executive produced by Steven Spielberg) was picked up for a full season order.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Oh, I kinda wish you hadn't told us, Somethingwicked.
Toni Collette is one of my favorite actresses, she would have been wonderful in the role, what a pity.

Sally Dexter was fantastic in the role, she'd be a great choice for Bway.

To quote Mrs Wilkinson, when it comes to casting they need to "get a bleedin' move on."
