Anyone know when the rest of the cast will be announced?? Anxiously awaiting as I am considering a trip out to LA for this! ??

I'm not sure, but honestly, if you haven't seen the show, I would recommend going to the show simply for the fact that Carmen Cusack will be reprising her role.  She was absolutely amazing in it, and I'm very excited for all my West Coast friends to get to see her beautiful performance.

I'm with Melanie. Cusack delivered a star-making performance on B'way. I got there quite late, closing weekend, and was knocked out.  I love Ms. O'Hara, but I would've given Cusack the Tony.  It's a grand, multi-dimensional old school heroine, and Cusack plays it -- including a large age range -- with an effortless mastery.  She also takes the roof off, vocally, starting with the opening number. It ended up being a highlight of the season for me.

Should appeal to the great white bubble.

Cusack lost to Cynthia Erivo, not Kelli O'Hara

Except O'Hara was not even nominated last year.

I've been called a lot of things, but that may be the rudest!

I'm only going because somebody gave me the tix, so it's free.

In terms of casting, I think it could be really special if Steve Martin stepped in as the mayor. It would automatically make the show the hot ticket it wasn't in NYC, plus it would be really cool to see Carmen and Steve sharing a stage.
