Posted: 9/3/19 at 3:52pmIt seems to be pretty much known at this point that Matt Doyle will be playing Jamie. Any other casting rumors?

Posted: 9/3/19 at 8:47pmThe only role Slater would be appropriate for is Theo, which is a small role.

Posted: 9/4/19 at 2:43amI find it cool and kind of cinematic but I wonder if the tone is a little different than the actual show. Although I imagine that Katrina will give off more of that vibe (cool, underground, mysterious, sexy) than Craig (girl nextdoor, warm, loveable, cute).

Group tickets are on sale now. The official site says they are on sale through 12/20/2020. It doesn’t appear that this will be sold as a limited run.

Posted: 9/7/19 at 1:52pmInteresting that she didn’t see the show in London and that she calls cast recordings soundtracks #thebatttleislost.

Why is it interesting that she didn’t travel to London to see a show while she was starring in a show on Broadway?

Id say he certain fits the "Young hot stud who's shirtless" in this production. Ah, perfect!

Also heard that Jennifer Simard is likely Sarah, which would be incredible if true!

Well, it wasn't his book to revise, but Furth is dead, so I guess someone had to. Agree with the comment above that Sondheim's revisions of his own work don't always go so well. I'm not crazy with the sanitized version of the lyric to "You Could Drive A Person Crazy" that's been used since the 90's. Yeah, the original is ugly, but the girls have had it up to hear with him. Why would they say something in a polite way to the man who's frustrating them so deeply?
I do think this is an interesting take on the material. One could argue whether the issues Bobby faces are equally true for both genders and therefore whether a female lead works as well, but any one character of whatever sex (or race, or religion, or sexuality) can feel anything, so artistic license. Would be nice if they'd hire singers for the pit like the original production had, as the songs always sound a little thin without them. (Isn't it odd that we never see those singers in the documentary on the cast recording--they are on the recording, but unlike the couples and Bobby, whoever sang in that chorus doesn't seem to be present, isn't on camera anyway).

Um, the pressure to be married at age 35 is far more relevant and common for a female than it is for a male. If anything this core plotline works better in this version.
