In regards to casting...
A friend of mine talked to Laura Marie Duncan at the stage door a few weeks ago, and said how he thought she should do the tour (he saw her as Christine while Sherie was out a few months ago, and had come back to see Rachel York.) She said she would love to and that she is certainly putting herself in for contention, but that the rumor she heard is that it is a possibility (nothing beyond that at this point) that Rachel York and Mylinda Hull could go to the tour since their Broadway stays are limited.
She said nothing was set in stone at this point, but that casting should be announced by May so they can rehearse over the summer in preparation for the August opening.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
