I wasn’t going to drop names but this is what I’ve been told as well.

I do wonder if this will be a limited run, maybe until September? If it does well, they can extend it into January.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

I'm pretty sure that Matt Doyle is playing Jamie, but I was hoping it would be Uranowitz.
Katrina is perfect and it'll be a thrill to see Lupone again. I'm extremely excited for this.

Some actors that I think would make a good Andy: Kyle Dean Massey, Colt Prattes, and Nolan Gerard Funk.

To be honest, I think Richard Fleeshman - who played the role of Andy in London - will take a bit of beating. Not only was he incredibly hunky, but he was so winning with his personality. Most people raved about Jonathan Bailey’s performance as Jamie (I felt it was far too broad and over-acted), but Fleeshman’s performance was well-judged, sincere and genuinely funny - a true male bimbo that still had ‘truth’. I felt his performance was far superior to Bailey’s. Like I said, I saw it twice in London and it is a shame that Fleeshman hasn’t transferred.

I agree he was a highlight although it doesn’t come through the cast recording. I realise for this show more than maybe others the supporting cast is really important. Some of those book scenes will drag on otherwise.
The couple of names that have been thrown around so far sound good.
If they re-record this I REALLY hope they can get more of LuPone’s spoken dialogue in the night club scene.

Yes and it's very funny. Imagine Harry, who in London was a larger older guy who was, let's just say, not a model - sitting on a bed while Bobbi is recieving Cunnilingus from the Hot A F Andy vacantly but earnestly singing
"Bobbie ought to have a fella
Poor baby, all alone
Nothing much to do except to check her phone
We're the only closeness she's really known
Poor baby!"
Soooo funny.

I thought Richard Fleesan was funny in London, except as I’ve mentioned, I though the way the character was conceptualized In the revival made him come across as rather effete. When she sang “where ya going?” I kept expecting his answer to be “Fire Island”
I think maybe it would have been more effective if they made the character more the dumb machismo jock from Queens or the Jersey shore type (think a young John Travolta circa Saturday Night Fever) .
Off course, maybe that’s what they were trying to do with the- Marta character, but it didn’t work in the hands of that actor.
In general I find that Brits are bad at playing believable Americans. And this is coming from a Brit.
Honestly, I think the characterizations of all three of Bobbi’s boyfriends is a point in the revival that can use further work, particularly for audiences who actually live in NYC.
I’m actually quite happy to hear none of those roles have been cast for the American production yet, as that indicates to me that Marianne Elliott understands she needs actors who type wise, appearance wise, age wise etc will work with Katrina Lenk who is a very different energy and type than Rosalie Craig.

Is it possible to actually have a very butch masc male flight attendant that seems straight? I agree the problems you identify do exist but I’m not sure how to solve them.

That's so true. I saw the show twice in London and Fleeshman was great and had an amazing ripped body. I know there are male flight attendants out there but I think his character would have been more effective had he been a stupid dumb jock... kind of like the ice hockey star Jennifer Garner dated as an adult in the movie 13 going on 30.

^Well, as cheery as that is, I will say I was secretly hoping months ago Anne Hathaway would work out because I recall when NIGHT MUSIC was running and it was so great to have a big fat Sondheim hit playing, as opposed to the well-reviewed ones that do well for a few months but after the locals have seen it, starts to struggle a bit.
That said, I adore Katrina. So, if you're gonna have a theatre name beside Patti, she's a blazingly talented one.

Well maybe part of the problem is indeed our stereotypical perception of male flight attendants as gay. But obviously this isn’t always the case and I think they could cast an actor like Andy Karl who is funny and ripped and comes across as very hetero and it would work.

I'm not a Company expert but would the book still work if they changed April/Andy's profession to a pilot instead of flight attendant? I'd think the song "Barcelona" would still work.

I’ve never seen Company before. When I checked Telecharge yesterday it recommended for ages 8 and older, but the comment above referenced cunnilingus on stage. For those who saw in London, do you think this is more appropriate for an older audience than 8?

I was talking about this recently to a friend. It's not an outrageously appropriate show (although there are a few moments of sexual innuendo and the like), but there's depth to it, and I don't know that anyone under 15 would appreciate it. Others may disagree.
