Wowee, I could be convinced to give this a try.

They haven't announced it yet, but it is pretty official. These are the actors currently in rehearsals. The cast as been the same since the Nov'09 workshops except for Idina, Christian, and BDJ who are the only cast changes I am aware of.

Isn't Christian in Angels in America? I know that it officially closes before this but I'm sure they were casting actors who could transfer.

I'd love to see how this works onstage. I just can't see it working, but that cast seems wonderful.

I love this movie, but am weirdly not interested in seeing it musicalized.

"who's playing Steve Carell's part? I can't remember the name of the character."

I would guess Christian Borle, given his age and position in billing in that post.

I'm very excited for this. Love the movie, love William Finn, like James Lapine. It's a great marriage of material and composer.

This sounds exciting! I think it's a good choice for Idina's return to Broadway.

I agree ljay! A great part for her return to Broadway! Based of a movie yes, but a damn good one.

And the creative team sounds excellent!

I still haven't decided whether or not I'll go to see this. I like the cast, but the movie bored me to tears.
