I get that.  He was a great Evan in the original production, and I am sure he will be fine in the film.  In my own ideal world, they would have cast someone else.

Of course, I am not the one making the movie, so my opinion won't go beyond being posted on a Broadway message board.

Yes, I realize where we are on the internet, I just personally don't get why we are still talking about Evan when there is no question about his casting and hasn't ever been.

The article mentions he's playing the stepfather. I guess if it allows an actor of Cuban descent to play the role of Larry (while still having it their way and casting the kids white)...

He's wonderful, talented, and a proud Cuban-American. Love that casting.

I’m all about it. Now couldn’t they have just cast his kids with Latinx actors?

I love the cut song "In the Bedroom Down the Hall" for Connor and Evan's mothers. It appears to have fit in the space where "Requiem" is now. "Requiem's" a terrific song but the prior gives some interesting insight into Mrs. Murphy's character.

Amy Adams is joining the cast

I also love "In The Bedroom Down The Hall" and hope it is added in the movie.

"Woulda Coulda Shoulda" seems to be a pretty common theme around these message boards.

Great casting! Could have easily seen her as Heidi too. Genuinely not sure who will be Heidi

Still hoping for Idina. This cast is shaping up to be excellent.

Interesting that per Deadline, "The role has been conceived specially for the film and highlights the already diverse cast." Is there no Larry then?

I was literally just coming here to say how much I hope In the Bedroom Down the Hall makes it into the movie. I would argue you could keep Requiem in the first “act” and put In the Bedroom Down the Hall in the second “act”. It’s such a beautiful and moving song, I really hope they utilize it.

As Connor’s Cuban American stepfather, there’s probably no need for the baseball glove song. That was probably the first song cut though.

And good riddance!

Stepfather? This is so wrong

Larry is supposed to be biological

Thank you guys for posting about  "In The Bedroom Down The Hall." Just finished listening to it and it's gorgeous! 500x better than that glove song. Love the 70s folk vibe behind it.

Amy Adams is going to be sublime, like always, as Cynthia. I've honestly never heard of Danny Pino, but I'm sure he'll be great. I'm glad they're taking diversity seriously. Will Larry still be in the movie, I wonder? Holding out for Idina or RBJ as Heidi, but I'm sure that whoever is Heidi will be great.

Right. He’s not playing Larry. He’s playing Connor’s stepfather. The press release gives no name.

It's not a real person, there is no "supposed" to be anything. It can very easily be changed if the writers feel like it. They may even name the changed character Larry just to mess with you personally.

Hahaha.  If Amy Hollywood Adams is playing a supporting character, Idina is definitely not the lead.

Someone on ATC is saying they've heard it's Winslet.  Could my prediction come true?!

Anyone better than Menzel. And Winslet, I feel, looks like Platt's sister. It has to be someone who reads MUCH older.

Let's get Bette then.  A nice Jewish mother for 40 year-old-reading Platt.

OMG can Bette be Zoe and Barbra as Alana?
