I wanna know if there really is bad blood between Bernadette and Patti. Or if it's all in Patti's head.

Bryan Batt at the Grand Auction, when auctioning off the Fun Home opening night tickets and party passes, said that Judy Kuhn and Michael Cerveris were both in it, so I think he confirmed that

I'd expect most of the Public cast to transfer minus Alexandra Socha. Would love for Sydney Lucas to transfer given the acclaim she received for the role, but she may be deemed too old.

I love Neil Simon's Rumors.

Thrilled to hear that about Michael & Judy! Also hoping that Sydney Lucas makes the transfer - for me, she was the star of that show.

When the casting notice was on Playbill a month or so ago, the only principal they were casting was Medium Alison. Every other role just needed a cover.



Patti LuPone withdrew from the Baltimore Symphony's Candide, which she was supposed to do next June, citing schedule conflicts. Are there any rumors about a return to Broadway for her, other than possibly in War Paint?

I'm hoping Emily Skeggs is cast again as Medium Alison for the transfer. She was wonderful Off-Broadway when she replaced Socha.

They also held auditions for the two boys at that call. The other roles up for grabs were all understudies. I think it's a safe bet they would not have transferred it with some portion of that cast in place. (I suspect they will announce something soon enough.)

Darn it, I was getting really excited at the possibility of a revival of Neil Simon's RUMORS.

Speaking of rumors, I want to know when Bryan Batt is coming back to Mad Men!

Someone on another thread said that Jason Robert Brown said that him and Patti are doing a project together.

They were only casting the two boys and medium Alison for Fun Home. Everyone else is on board.

Any rumors (or facts) about Somewhere in Time?

I would love Barrett Wilbur Weed as Medium Allison. She'd kill that song.

Coincidentally, Neil Simon's Rumors is in fact being prepped for Broadway. There is an all star industry reading of it the first week in October.

Has anyone heard anything about what Laura Osnes' next B'way role will be? I can't imagine that she won't be in a new show sometime this season.

I know she's been attached to Dames at Sea and is waiting for that show to come to Broadway. It was supposed to come this year but that doesn't look like its happening. Maybe Spring 2015 but who knows. I also heard she was going to audition for Titanic, but that show never happened yet either. aww poor Laura! She has been doing concerts in the meantime, but i really REALLY hope Dames at Sea comes in this season. I would also imagine she's involved with other projects since she's Laura Osnes lol
