Confirmed: GHOST THE MUSICAL to Open on Broadway April 2012

I would ADORE for Caissie to bring it here. She really fits the part perfectly and plus...she is from here...so I dont know why bringing her here is an issue.
BUT I would love for Donna Vivino to possible do the part.
Here are my ideas
Molly: Caissie Levy, Donna Vivino, Shoshana Bean, Teal Wicks
(lots of Elphaba's...actually all Elphabas haha)

The thought of Teal Wicks singing "With You" is giving me shivers.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Having recently seen her perform in an intimate cabaret setting, I was very impressed at how subtle she can be without losing any of the power of her voice. She's quite a talented woman.

AC126748, according to Equity rules, all roles have to be listed as available unless there are signed contracts at the time of the posting. That doesn't necessarily mean that the roles haven't been offered or cast- it just means the deals aren't finalized, which they wouldn't be since the official aspects of the transfer have just now been set in stone.

I suspect Caissie will be brought over with the show but IF she's not, there are some wonderful suggestions here. Kate Shindle, Diana DeGarmo, Jennifer Daimiano,and Teal Wicks would all do justice to the role, though both Jennifer and Diana tend to read "early 20's" onstage. Depending on who was cast as Sam, there could be a bit of a mismatch if Molly looks too young. Plus, if Spiderman is still running I doubt they'd be willing to let go of Jen, and I'm still thinking Diana might be Godspell bound.

"DeGarmo WAS being considered for Godspell...

She'd be great for this."

Was being considered? Hmm, well if she's not doing Godspell, and Caissie doesn't transfer, I'd love to see it open on Broadway starring Aaron Tveit and Diana.

I like DeGarmo....but not in this show.

She was cast in the dropped Godspell, was she still actively being considered for this one?

I think Cassie sings the sh*t out of Molly, but I'd love to see Osnes in this role. So beautiful with a voice to match. I haven't had the chance to see her act on Broadway yet, but I'm sure she'd have Molly down without an issue.

I'd much prefer to see Cheyenne Jackson in this role over Aaron Tveit. Though it's clear I'm not a Tveit fan, he just doesn't seem an appropriate fit for Sam.

Darren Ritchie played Sam in the first workshop. Star casting aside, I wouldn't be surprised if he's in the mix for it again.

The Brooks Atkinson is a relatively small (1069 seats) theatre as compared to The Lunt-Fontanne (1415 seats) or The Palace (1740 seats). I'm not sure how a new musical the size of GHOST would do there, both in space and ticket-wise.

I don't mind Tveit but I think he's too young. And even if he isn't he comes across VERY young on stage. Cheyenne Jackson is a great suggestion but what about Colin Donnell? Would he leave Anything Goes? How about Marc Kudisch? I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted someone like Matthew Morrison. Although I don't know how that fits in with his Glee contract, but he would be great and a name to draw people.

As for Molly, lots of very talented ladies could play that part. Osnes would sing the hell out of it but if B&C is still going, she's out. Just as long as it isn't Diana DeGarmo. That girl is fingernails on a chalkboard. I know people love her on here (don't ask me why) but I just can't listen to her voice or watch her over the top acting. Horrible.

Maybe the Playboy Club will be canceled and Laura Benanti could do it!!

I'm hoping the producers let Caissie do it if she's willing. I would love to see her in this role. I do love all the various suggestions (except Jen Daimiano) for Molly if Caissie isn't transferring. I'd probably cast Teal Wicks if it were up to me. I ADORE Diana as a performer and she's got the voice for the part, but I think she's a bit too young for the part.

Have the CD on order from Amazon. Unless it gets ripped apart it has a decent shot ue to its presold title. I know Mrs R wants to see it as she loves the movie
