Felicia P. Fields as the Nurse.

(She'd be the only person above the title)

I believe Jeremy Piven would make an excellent Mercury-tio.

Romeo: Kiril Kulish
Juliet: Phylicia Rashad

Dear lord. That better be a typo.

Jordan, don't you think it'd be better having the three Billys rotate? they can add a ballet for Romeo, to accompany the balcony scene.

and I think Sarah Brightman would make a MUCH better Nurse than Sutton Foster.

"Romeo: Kiril Kulish
Juliet: Phylicia Rashad

Dear lord. That better be a typo."

Why? Because you can't have a black Juliet?
ANYONE WHO SAYS PHYLICIA RASHAD CAN'T BE JULIET IS A RACIST! It's theater, people. Christ, can't you suspend belief long enough to just enjoy a performance??

I don't think it's that. Isn't Juliet only supposed to be like 15 or something like that? This would make Romeo so much younger too.

Yes, the age is more of the issue.

Racism AND ageism have no place in the theater. So what if Rashad and Kulish are playing a couple in love and one is 75 and the other is 10? It's THEATER!!!!!

Geez...
