Didnt see THIS coming, but I'm even more excited about this now!! Wow. Love them both!

This has definitely turned into a must see revival now.

It will have been 10 years since Ms. Neuwirth was last onstage. She was Mama Morton in Chicago in 2014.
Absolutely thrilled about this casting. She's the draw for me.

Neuwirth’s Third Tony Incoming…
I am SAT!
Posted: 11/9/23 at 10:03am
I am both thrilled and so mad. I was planning to see this in London to save "a little" money, but now I can't not see this with Bebe.

I am SCREAMING about Bebe! My god, this show is gonna be incredible! I was kinda hoping Danny Burstein would play Schultz, but I am excited to see Steven Skybell!

Nothing is precluding him as a replacement (since I’m assuming they plan on running this a while), but I know when it comes to award eligibility, he may not be eligible since he was nominated in the same role for the last production and the producers may want to see if they can rack up as many nominations as possible in what will be a highly competitive year

Skybell is more to the tune of how Schultz was in OG London casting. More spirited, funnier and less defeated. They also played the roles with more spark and chemistry, than the usual of it being more an amiable thing.

the way this will be a showdown between Maryann Plunkett and Bebe for that Tony...wonder who will prevail!

I saw Bebe in The Bedwetter at Atlantic Theatre Company last year, so she was onstage recently, at least off-Broadway.

Very glad I bought my tickets already. Saw Bebe in Chicago and Damn Yankees- she is now THE reason to see this show.

I am so excited by this casting! Finally get to see Bebe on stage, and Steven is fantastic casting. Loved him in Fiddler in Yiddish and can’t wait to see him here.

Bebe's face was the first thing I saw when I opened IG this morning and I gasped so loud I woke up the dog. I was planning to wait a bit since I saw it in London last spring, but this is now a must-see and will be laying out my paycheck for tickets.
Posted: 11/9/23 at 12:56pm
I am HERE for this casting! Love both of them.

If it’s true the operating costs for the show are expected to be 1.16 million dollars a week, then Bebe better be getting $160,000 of that!

I saw her in Bedwetter also. She also did an Encores production in 2018.

Is this selling well? I check a handful of dates and there seemed to be an abundance of availability. I know it's opening is 5 months away, so maybe that's normal?

Natascia Diaz confirmed as Fräulein Kost / Fritzie, and Henry Gottfried will play Ernst Ludwig.

It seems to be the NEW normal, people not buying tickets too far out .
Posted: 11/16/23 at 11:24am
I’ve looked at a few early dates and assuming things aren’t being held back or ive made a mistake I would say sales look ok given how far out it all is. I still am not convinced the show will ever recoup based on the alleged operating expense projections. But there appears to be some demand. Nothing like say Kimberly akimbo that had sold almost no tickets before performances started.

I am thrilled at the news of Natascia joining the cast. I mentioned to her that although I am visiting NYC from December 22-25, I will need to make a return trip sometime in the summer of 2024.
