I like Jackie a lot. Excited to see her take on the role.

Ken Marino as Ernest is 10/10 casting.

They cut 5 ensemble tracks… just incredibly disappointing

Holy AI faces. These look like Sardi's caricatures — and that's not a compliment."

Not AI, it's by artist Mark Stutzman, who did the 1999 Annie Get Your Gun art among others.

"

Now that the cast is announced... these are actually great caricatures of the two leads.

When asked on Instagram, Stephanie J Block said she was approached. 😎"

I’m sure that was an easy decline after her experience touring (with child) during ITW. She was vocal on how challenging it was logistically and financially. 

It's a shame they cut 5 ensemble tracks.
