Yay for Sean! Delaney has the voice lesson before mine. Sweet girl.

Does anyone else think that Carole Shelley would have made an extraordinary Mrs. Brill?

This little part of me was so hoping it could have been her =)

Tyler in the ensemble? Well why not! One off broadway break out performance and a few ensemble gigs do not *guarantee* featured and lead roles for anyone.

Sure he will be great. Wonder if he will cover Bert? Can see him doing Neelus for some reason.

"Tyler Maynard in the ensemble? What's up with that."

Hey, a boy's gotta work. And he's not particularly easy to cast. In this biz, you take what you can get. He'll probably play that lead statue guy (which I found bizarre and creepy in London). Good for him.

Maynard would make more doing ensemble in POPPINS than playing a lead in ALTER BOYZ. Plus, I'm sure he's ready for something new.

Yeah thats the one I was thinking of..Neelius?

Cute part with some nice choreography. Plus for any obsessive altar boy fans the costume is a rather tight body suit lol!

SO happy the Cass Morgan rumors are true...I'm so glad that voice is back onstage in NYC.

Very interesting cast, a few people I hadn't heard much about lately: James Hindman, Michael McCarty, even Ruth Gottschall. I like seeing people from Beauty and the Beast and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang as well.

Is Eric B. Anthony the actor who originated Duane in Hairspray or someone else?

Not that surprising about Maynard. I mean, David Josefsberg is in The Wedding Singer ensemble right now.

Happy to see Rebecca Luker is following in my avatar's suffragette pumps.

Congratulations to Rebecca Luker! I know I'll definately be seeing this!

Congratulations to Rebecca Luker, but I'm sort of disappointed
that Linzi Hateley wasn't chosen to play Mrs. Banks. I know it has to do with the Equity, but she really deserves a second chance on Broadway. Anyway, the cast sounds promising!

Looks like a great cast. Congrats to Ms. Luker and all. I look forward to seeing them all.

The very lovely and talented Stephanie Kurtzuba is in the cast!

Very excited about Rebecca Luker, Cass Morgan, and Ruth Gottschall. And Rommy Sandhu choreographed the production of Pajama Game I was in last Spring!

Looks like the upcoming chorus calls for Beauty might actually result in some job offers!
Brian Collier (Carpet/Lefou understudy)
Michelle Lookadoo (Silly Girl/Babette understudy)
Ann Arvia (Eggtimer/Potts and Wardrobe understudy)
Plus I've heard about a couple of other men who are leaving to do other shows. Go to those chorus calls in June!

Congratulations to Katherine Doherty! A girl from Dedham, MA on Broadway, what can be better? Show that Boston pride girl!
