Anyway this sucks. Now I have to go AGAIN, to see him!

He’ll be fantastic!
I didn’t have a desire to see it again without Lauren Ambrose, but, this may change my mind...

I don’t think Bernstein taking this on necessarily means he’s not doing Moulin Rouge.... who’s to say this will still be running when moulin Rouge gets to broadway.

The article says "16-week limited engagement beginning Tuesday, January 8 through Sunday, April 28" so if MOULIN is still planning on a summer opening, he'll be just fine.

But yes I assume that his run in MFL is a limited engagement BECAUSE of Moulin Rouge. His last performance is 4/28 which would make sense if MR plans to open in the summer.

This is basically casting perfection.

I agree, especially since they were in Boston the rumor was they were opening in the summer. I'm guessing he'll do this and Moulin Rouge will start late May/June

The fact that I'm not going to be in New York until May after he's left is breaking my heart because this casting is PERFECT.

I don’t think I’ve seen a show with such stellar recasting choices in a very long time

Thank God this will be his return to Broadway and not Moulin Rouge!.

He's doing both. He's only in MFL until April 28th and Moulin Rouge doesn't pick up until the summer.

And last time I check, he's never left Broadway (or theatre in general).

I saw this yesterday and may have gotten a tear in my eye. What I would do for a Laura/Danny recording, though I know that's never gonna happen.
From what I've heard, Danny will be with Moulin Rouge, albeit in a beefed up role from what we saw in Boston (he's getting at least one more solo-ish number).

I was very so-so about this production when I saw it right before it opened. But the thrill of seeing Benanti & Burstein in those roles means I'll be buying another ticket. Well played, Lincoln Center. Well played.

I'm just hoping and praying that Laura extends a few weeks to the end of Feb. Please!

OK - now I'm ready to see this production.

Sorry, what I meant was that I'm glad Moulin Rouge! won't be his first time back on Broadway since Fiddler on the Roof, and something a billion times more exciting like My Fair Lady will be instead.
