This is GREAT news!
Sondheim and Sondheim sounds even better now looking at the poster, 10000x better than iSondheim.
Hope they don't change anything!
Kritzer: "Another Hundred People"
Arden: "Giants in the Sky"
Cook: Anything from Passion
Williams: "Ah, But Underneath", "Could I Leave You?"
Would be wonderful if Stokes were cast so he could do "Now" and Arden could do "Later".

I wonder if any gay men are going to see this -- pretty unlikely, huh?

This sounds quite interesting. I do have a question though.
IF the show were to get nominated for Best Musical or win, would it move to a more permanent Broadway theatre? I would imagine it could get extended.
Is studio 54 booked by anything else? Why would they have to move?

They may try to extend it, but I seriously doubt that Cook and Williams would stay with it for any long period of time. Remember when Banderas did Nine, selling out the seats to the rafters? Then when he left and Roundabout said they'd continue the run because the show had been so rapturously receiveed, sales dropped off immediately and the show ran another month (maybe a tad more, but not by much). Ditto when Roundabout announced their intention to tour Pajama Game without Harry Connick (the only reason to see that revival in the first place). Somehow, that "tour" didn't take place. Get real, Roundabout, we're not THAT stupid.

Does Williams have that big of a following? I can understand Harry Connick Jr. and Banderas bringing in a lot of people. I don't know about Williams.
I am SO excited about this. I don't CARE how much tickets cost...at all. It will so be worth it.
ARDEN!!!! COOK!!! WILLIAMS!!!
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!!!
I get chills just thinking about how wonderful this will be. I'm eager to hear who else will be in it, though. I know I have a wishlist. :)
Where did that picture come from? I can't see it here, so I'd like to know where else I can see it.
Never mind. I saw the logo on the announcement e-mail I got from Roundabout. Now I just need help figuring out whether those letters really are from the logos of Sondheim's shows.
Could someone please repost the logo?
I still can't see it. It's just a red x.
This news made my day. I'm excited for everyone, but Leslie Kritzer especially. And that poster will be up on my wall as soon as it's available!
Just go to the Roundabout site and download it there.
YES!!!!
Vanessa Williams - "Water Under the Bridge" from SINGING OUT LOUD
Barbara Cook - "Children & Art" from SUNDAY
Michael Arden - "Talent" from ROAD SHOW
Leslie Kritzer - "There Won't Be Trumpets" from ANYONE CAN WHISTLE
Anyone agree?

The "o" is modeled after the Follies logo:
There's one to start you off!

SO exciting! Can't wait!
Yep, commasplice. The other letters are from logo-art of his other shows too. Pop quiz which are which!
CLEVER
Are the other letters the same letters from the original logo art?

That's exciting!
If Birdie's sales drop, do you think they'll try and put something in to the Henry Miller or will they just leave it dark?
This is amazing news, I can't wait!
