HOT HOT HOT! Damn.
And pretty crazy and cool that basically the entire creative team behind HAIRSPRAY has teamed up again for this project. That alone gives me hope. These guys have proven that they can make magic together.

Cyco - You're welcome! But not sure of the phrase, I never caught Curtains... closed before I had the chance.
And Pianolin-- who is Allison Case?

Thanks for the link! She is nice, but a little too young (looking, at the least) for Butler's part.
Speaking of the Hair cast, Caissie Levy would be a gem! Too bad she doesn't match up with Aaron's good looks!!! =O

Posted: 7/16/09 at 10:23pmThey should just ignore everything and put Shoshana Bean in the role.

"They should just ignore everything and put Shoshana Bean in the role"
I don't care if she is wrong for the part... she can sing the crap out of Fly, Fly Away... SO GOOD!
#34re: Catch Me If You Can: promotional images
Posted: 7/16/09 at 10:29pmPutting Shoshana Bean in the show would immediately increase its running time by about 3 hours, to accommodate all the riffing she'll do.
#35re: Catch Me If You Can: promotional images
Posted: 7/16/09 at 10:31pmThey can just cut "Butter into Cream" to take away that extra 3-hour feeling.
#36re: Catch Me If You Can: promotional images
Posted: 7/16/09 at 10:33pmAnd somehow, I wouldn't mind sitting through 3 hours of her riffing her way through it.
#37re: Catch Me If You Can: promotional images
Posted: 7/16/09 at 10:59pmAgreed. I'd listen to Shoshana riff anything.
#38re: Catch Me If You Can: promotional images

Meh, not Shoshana. I was hoping there would be enough of a draw with the 3 leading men to surprise us with a lesser known female who could "wow" us and take the place of Sutton Foster, who we discovered many years ago. Broadway needs a new "it" girl who can still believably be young and charming. Sorry Bailey Hanks.
And, Karen Olivo can't play white girl parts! (Although it's not stopping Krysta Rodriguez??)
But gosh darnit, Karen would give the role and storyline a refreshing boost! (Take that, Mr. Laurents!)

Pianolin717, how can you suggest Allison Case for a role in a show you've never seen?
Knowing one song from a demo recording doesn't exactly make you knowledgeable of all the character's specific demands, let alone able to gauge people who may or may not be appropriate for it (not to mention the fact that Case's voice lacks the punch to put the song in question over to begin with.)
i am the one, Karen Olivo did a reading of the show as Cheryl Ann, the prostitute who seduces Frank and sings the song "You've Gotta Pay For Love" (played in the film by Jennifer Garner and in the Seattle production by Felicia Finley.)
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
#40re: Catch Me If You Can: promotional images
Posted: 7/17/09 at 1:51amWow, I feel Karen Olivo would have been great singing "You've Gotta Pay for Love" though really Sara Gettelfinger was great in it as well.

Posted: 7/17/09 at 4:46amAre there any rumours of when/where this might open on Broadway?

Sounds more like he was basing it off of Amy Adams' portrayal in the movie rather than the vocal demands of the role itself.

Yes. Thank you. And the fact that I have seen Kerry sing it and do not like it is another reason I can at least SUGGEST someone...

Is anyone else a little ho-hum about this? I mean, I know I should care. It's a big, major production opening, but I'm just not all that excited? I guess because it's the same team behind Hairspray, and I saw one of the last casts on Broadway, and they all seemed like horribly watered down versions of their former selves, so I was just sort of burnt by that whole experience. Any idea what the design for this show is like?
But I do love me some Felicia Finely.

"Is anyone else a little ho-hum about this?"
Yep! I have seen nothing drastic in the announcements for this show that make me excited. That is why i am the one labeled me "Cyco the Cynic." Maybe he'll get you a nickname too!
#46re: Catch Me If You Can: promotional images
Posted: 7/17/09 at 11:17amI'm all for Karen Olio taking part in this! I don't even know the show very well (but I did see Kerry perform a song from the show on Seth Rudetsky's radio show)

^Brenda is in her early 20s in the movie...Allison Case does not look too young for the role.

Okay, Kerry Butler can play a 20 y/o on stage convincingly. It's like how Idina played a college freshman in Wicked. Allison Case (see link) looks like she is 15. She could look like Frank Abagnale Jr.'s younger sister! Or at least any character in a "13" revival.

But I do agree with RippedMan that this show isn't grabbing my attention as much as it should be. With all of its factors combined, it still needs a bigger punch.

In 12 and 13 he looks like a total tool bag.
While in 14 it looks like a left over press shot from Cry Baby
