Daniel Davis will appear as Georges opposite Gary Beach's Albin in the upcoming Broadway revival of La Cage aux Folles, according Broadway.com.

Davis is terrific in everything. A good casting choice.

Yes, he's a good actor - terrific in Frogs - but what happened to their star search? Guess there were no takers.

Better to have talent than a "star" without any....

He IS a star. He was a regular on a very successful series for many years. Pay attention, people!

Suddenly, I had a mental image of Daniel Davis as Norma Desmond....

Rathnait, whatever Daniel Davis is - a very talented actor - he is NOT a star. The producers were shopping for a big name and apparently didn't find one - that's the bottom line. I'm sure Davis will be superb in the part.

He's more of a star than most people on Broadway right now. He's a TV star for heaven's sake.

YAY! Oh that's superb casting for both leads.

I think this is great casting, although the marketing is going to be for the production and show -- perhaps they can bring in some folks with Daniel, but I'll be interested to see how they promote the show...

How much ya wanna bet they'll advertise him as Daniel "The Nanny" Davis?

Still, a great and unexpected choice.

If it was the Weisslers you KNOW they would. They may anyway - that's what he's known for, and business is business.

Daniel Davis..a "star"?..Hmmmmm.

I am glad they didn't go the Luke Perry route. But if this puppy runs for more than a year, I'm sure we'll see some interesting replacements.

Personally, I'm glad they didn't go the stunt casting route on this one - Let Daniel and Gary carry the show and for once 'let those who know how...DO IT'
