From Broadway.com:
"...I don't mind being associated with Mamma Mia!, but it would be nice to originate something again before I die [laughs]. I'm doing a workshop this fall of the new musical based on The First Wives Club, and then they're doing it at the Old Globe [in San Diego next spring]. [First Wives Club director] Francesca Zambello did the Show Boat concert I was in at Carnegie Hall, which was really fun.
Which wife will you play?
Diane Keaton. It's a little out of character for me. I think they decided that they'd like to cast the Goldie Hawn role with someone African-Amerian. I'm most suited to that part, but they don't want to go that way. The Diane Keaton part will be fun.
Do you know who else is in it?
No, because we did a reading last year and they've changed a lot of the cast. They may or may not take this group [of actors] to California [for the Old Globe production]. We'll see!"

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
