Ayanna Prescod, the theatre journalist, was really hyping up the casting on her Twitter. Basically saying, "You're going to want to see Chicago ASAP with this cast." And plus with the initial Broadway tip about Chicago, "beloved Emmy winner" (or nominee) if the person wasn't sure, I'm still leaning toward Jane Krakowski. Unless the "beloved Emmy winner" will be playing Amos Hart?
I'm definitely excited to see Ana V. and Lillias if true, though!

So it's going to be Megan Hilty and Katharine McPhee? Sounds great. Buying tickets now!

"Bombshell" is one of those phrases like "star-studded" or "multi-award-winning" that means nothing, and in this case is probably WORSE for the show if they're not opening with actual stars who sell tickets en masse."
At least, the Chicago social media pages could "hint" at the casting. Instead of having the bombshell post on their website for so long, I feel like it would make more people excited/interested about who is going to be in the show rather than just hiding the news altogether.
Someone sent the second Deux Moi post to Ayanna Prescod and she said, "One of those names are wrong." So is it now officially between Ana, Lillias, Bianca, but no word on Amos yet?

And Paulo Szot*.
Are there links to all these gossip accounts? I can't keep track on who is on Twitter vs IG.
