I am very disturbed. I thought this was one of Michael Dale's joke articles. The Weissler's must be behind this. They are notorious for casting (or miscasting as the case may be) anyone with a name who is willling to be on broadway. How can Brooke play Ruth Sherwood?? She's a friggin model!! All of Ruth's line's about how her younger sister is so much more attractive are going to require an interesting delivery. And that is the least of our worries, what about the singing? What about the musical comedy? I am praying for a Jenna Elfman situation here, maybe Brooke will pull out when she discovers she can't sing the part.
I am so disturbed by this news because I love "Wonderful Town" and the cast, writers, orchestra, and even the ushers deserve better than this!
