Saw that a while ago and forgot.I'll update the list!

Thanks for doing this, MannPhan. Perhaps add the out-of-town tryout city?

Just added Unmasked at Papermill.I believe the lab is in April. I'm curious about that cast.

Valentina3 said: "Depending on when Moulin Rouge moves to Broadway, I'd be curious to see if Olivo actually continues with the project. She's already slated to appear in a regional production of Fun Home in fall. The rehearsals for which might conflict with Rouge."

I read some thread on here about a rumor it won't come in until 2019-2020 because the same lead producer (Global Creatures) is doing King Kong and they don't want the shows to compete/conflict. Anyone know if that's true? If it is, seems like a long time to wait between Boston and Broadway.

Olivio in FUNHOME?

In what role?

Strange casting whatever role, maybe middle Allison's girlfriend?

Thank you! I'll add him! I keep wondering if any alumni from any ALW shows will be involved with this .Sierra Boggess wouldn't surprise me but I believe she's doing a show in Hartford during the lab.

Someone at My FAiR LADY seated near me tonight was speaking to one of the creatives on the Cher project. I only overheard part of the conversation, but she said Lena Hall isn’t continuing with Cher. Sounds like she booked conflicting television work.

Beetlejuice-Arlington
As mentioned on the thread,Alex Brightman ,Leslie Kritzer,and Sophia Caruso have done the workshops.

Beetlejuice is DC as well, not Arlington, FYI (National Theater, on Pennsylvania Avenue).

He did, but the most recent labs had Alex Brightman. Not sure if he was just a filler for Chris, though

“The casting notice is seeking talent for two available roles: the title bio-exorcist, described as “the life of the party and the deadest guy in the room,” and Lydia Deetz—the gloomy daughter of the family that moves into a home inhabited by the ghosts of its previous tenants—who must have a “great rock belt/mix voice.” A previous reading starred three-time Tony Award nomineeChristopher Fitzgeraldas Beetlejuice”

That casting notice is from a year ago? I don't see why it's relevant now."

I was just confirming Fitzgerald was apart of the development of the show
