Officially official?

Ive heard this for weeks but still I haven't been able to get confirmation. I guess this post makes it an "Official Rumor"!

Better move than TO BE OR NOT TO BE.

Well from what I heard, that's not saying much.

I think he'd be good in the role though.

I thought it was between Hugh Jackman and John Stamos! You just can't count on these rumors, can you?

Which role are we talking here?

The lead role that isn't already cast.

If it's true, I think Bierko would be fine. He can sing, he's charismatic and could project the toughness that is Sky (think Thou Shalt Not).

I think he sounds like a real good fit for this show. I hope it turns out to be true.

Excellent choice.

Anne Hathaway as Sarah.

Eh. In The Music Man, he sounded so much like Robert Preston that I found it distracting. It will be hard for me to get past that if he plays Sky.

While I stil think Hathaway would make a great Sarah, the thought of her opposite Beirko is less exciting than the other possible Skys discussed.

"Excellent choice.

Well, only if Sarah Brown is Sky Masterson's daughter.

Craig is 20 years older than Anne is.

I'd TOTALLY be behind this. Yum.

How old exactly is Sky supposed to be? I did this show waayyy back in High School and can't remember the age of Sky. Though I thought Sarah was supposed to be fairly young, so Anne Hathaway would work.

ONLY if he is a Singer.

Not just "can sing."

Singer.

That's right, Craig Bierko and Kate Jennings Grant as Sarah. I'm napping already.

He is so incredibly sexy and was hilarious during his fantastic appearance in SEX & THE CITY. Love his singing voice too. He'd be great as Sky.
Now who is his Sarah going to be?

Would Ambrose look too young next to him? I hope doesn't mean Ambrose is out.

I loved both of those Craigs, PJ!

There has yet to be a cast member announced or rumored that has made me gain any intrest in this revival. I feel it is so unneeded. Maybe im just sore that the donmar production with its stars arent transfering.

He was so awesome in THE MUSIC MAN. I'll be thrilled if he is, indeed, returning to Broadway.
