Danny Glover for Big Daddy, Thandie Newton/Anika Noni Rose as Maggie, Blair Underwood/LL Cool J for Brick.....
No matter what, that 1st cast was better.

I mean...so is THIS the actual, signed cast?
Cause it ain't half-bad.

Posted: 12/11/07 at 3:59pmI find it amusing that they included Big Mama in the audition notice breakdown even though Rashad, Allen's sister, was probably cast from day one. Great casting though, although Rose is a bit of a surprise.

Posted: 12/11/07 at 4:01pmThe only bad thing is Debbie Allen . If her directing is anywhere near as bad as her choreography - then the show is in trouble.

WithoutATrace, you are SO getting your Carrie playbill signed, am I right??? 
And your Truckload playbill, if you have one of those.

Posted: 12/11/07 at 4:22pmIs it official about James Earl Jones? If so, I'll be rushing to get a ticket -- that is a role he was BORN to play. Keeping my fingers crossed that it really happens.

Yes, the Carrie playbill AND souvenir program! I can't wait! I've never heard of Truckload though...is it a horrible flop?

Yeah, it's one of those very rare Broadway musicals to close in previews:

There's even a song called "Jesus Is My Main Man"! And it was directed by Patricia Birch, of Grease fame, also known for working with Hal Prince.
Also, whatever became of this?: http://www.playbill.com/news/article/86512.html
