Urinetown AND LaChiusa’s Wild Party??!! Sign me the f**k up.

Henry, Levy, and Uranowitz is sensational casting. What an event that will be.
The Encores line-up is SUPERB. Can't wait for Urinetown casting. I really hope Kate Baldwin and Brian Stokes Mitchell come back. And LaChiusa's Wild Party! So exciting!

I wonder if Levy's casting means Next to Normal won't happen until the spring

That's always been the plan.

Are these all fully staged?
Posted: 5/14/24 at 12:36pm
I’m going to need Bonnie Milligan as Pennywise and Leslie Kritzer as Little Sally, stat.

Encores are technically "concerts" but have become essentially fully-staged productions with barebones technical elements.

LaChiusa’s Wild Party! This lineup is sensational, but I’m especially excited about the (superior) WP getting this kind of treatment.

I'd rather see Jen Simard (in either role). Maybe Betsy Wolfe as Hope?

The announced leads for RAGTIME are absolutely dream casting! Very excited!
Posted: 5/14/24 at 12:54pm
Every year I wait for this announcement hoping to see LaChiusa's Wild Party and was worried that their summer staging of the Lippa version ruined that chance. I literally just jumped out of my chair. I can't wait to see how they cast this!
Posted: 5/14/24 at 12:55pm
If I somehow miss Ragtime or The Wild Party, there's gonna be a problem.
Posted: 5/14/24 at 12:55pm
I really hope to Jesus or Muhammad or whatever that they cast a real legend as Dolores in “Wild Party”.
Posted: 5/14/24 at 1:04pm
Cool! So that would mean Ragtime is legitimately fully staged and Urinetown/Wild Party/Love Life will be "concerts" but effectively staged as well?
Posted: 5/14/24 at 1:06pm
Me: not everything at Encores needs to transfer to Broadway!
Also Me: can this entire upcoming season of Encores transfer to Broadway??!!
Posted: 5/14/24 at 1:06pm
How are they going to handle Burrs in The Wild Party? Is there an actor in the year 2024 with the guts to do blackface in front of 2000 people?
Posted: 5/14/24 at 1:08pm
Let Megan Hilty reprise her Queenie from the 2004 Carnegie Mellon production cowards!
I'd love to see Sheryl Lee Ralph as Dolores. Or even Bernadette.

Since you have to ask twice- who knows? It's City Center. I don't think they'll go all out
Posted: 5/14/24 at 1:30pm
Oh Sheryl Lee Ralph is just INSPIRED. I would love to see that.
I could not be more excited for this production.
Posted: 5/14/24 at 1:33pm
Ragtime and Urinetown top my list of shows I want to see but never have. Too bad I probably won't be able to see these.
