No this is not a announcement or rumor of any sort.
After some thinking over what and ideal cast would be...I pegged Allison Janney as a good pick for a future replacement because...
A) She's experienced in theater.
B) Her dry sense of humor may mix well with the show's cynicism.
C) She's star power...(I mean, they hired Lucy freakin' Liu!)

Posted: 1/27/10 at 8:41pmShe would be a good Veronica. I don't know who they could pair her with though.

Posted: 1/27/10 at 8:44pmShe would own. How about a West Wing reunion - Janney as Veronica, Bradley Whitford as Alan, Janel Moloney as Annette, and Timothy Busfield as Michael.

Janney would be sensational. I'd also love to see her as Barbara Weston in August: Osage County sometime.
Then again, I'd pay to see Allison Janney read the yellow pages.

Posted: 1/27/10 at 9:13pmShe would be absolutely wonderful in God Of Carnage. I would consider taking a trip to NYC just to see her in the show.

Posted: 1/28/10 at 12:42pmShe would make a fabulous Veronica. And I love the West Wing casting idea...though I'd probably sub Richard Schiff or Joshua Malina for Busfield.

I would kill too for a West Wing cast! I still can't believe I missed THE Joshua Lyman in Boeing Boeing.
But Janney is such a talented woman. It'd be great to see her back on Broadway!

I'd love to see her in any play really.

^Yes! If the movie is still happening Janney would be a great choice for that role.

great casting!
And frankly I'd love to see her paired with the current Annette, Annie Potts, whom I just loved in the role.

Posted: 1/29/10 at 5:55pmAC, I thought of Richard Schiff too but I just think Busfield would play "formerly/secretly working-class" better.

Posted: 1/29/10 at 6:17pmBusfield strikes me as more of an Alan to me. How about a thirtysomething cast with Patricia Wettig, Polly Draper, Ken Olin and Busfield?

Posted: 1/30/10 at 7:08amGood idea. I'd love to see Janey in this, even though the play did work better with the younger original cast than the older cast they now have playing the roles.

Posted: 1/30/10 at 7:10pmI don't think the age difference matters that much. These are New York couples, who often have children later in life than people do in the suburbs. Personally, I think Allison Janey would be amazing. She is both emotional and a very funny actress. I can see her in either part, but would maybe prefer her in the Marcia Gay Harden role.
