Posted: 4/4/12 at 7:48pmHow about I meant, IF it happens. That's why I said I "think". Calm down.

Posted: 4/4/12 at 7:50pmI think it's perfect. About time she played it. She's in the great canon of Sondheim leading ladies, and I think she'll be fantastic.

So much happiness.
I'm a little bit in love with this casting.
I have dreamed she would play this role.
(Those aren't characters she played, but shows she was in.)

Posted: 4/4/12 at 10:44pmAm I the only person who finds Donna Murphy hopelessly mannered?
#13Donna Murphy as The Witch in Into the Woods at the Delacorte.
Posted: 4/4/12 at 10:57pmWonder if she'll play it like she did in "Tangled."

Posted: 4/4/12 at 11:04pmYeah, would kind of seem like a no-brainer after TANGLED.

No, you said "I think this is a great, great casting decision!" when should have said, "I think this would be a great casting decision."

Posted: 4/4/12 at 11:19pmWhat was mannered about Murphy's "Could I Leave You?" or "I Read"?

Posted: 4/4/12 at 11:33pmI would LOVE LOVE LOVE if this were true.
#18Donna Murphy as The Witch in Into the Woods at the Delacorte.
Posted: 4/5/12 at 1:36amI would LOVE if this happened. Donna would make a fantastic witch! This would get me back to the East Coast in a heartbeat!

This is kick-ass casting right here! Hoping this is true and waiting for the OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION. Will be disappointed if it falls through,

Divine...
Not for nothing, had he lived, Divine would've been a great choice for this part. (You may fire when ready.)

Let's do the math.
An amazingly talented actress.
A world class singer with a voice perfectly suited for this part.
Among the finest interpreters of Sondheim.
Who can pull off the comedy in her sleep.
Who can scare the &*() out of an audience with the best of them.
Who can doubtless transform from crone to exquisite.
Impeccable casting.
OF COURSE SOME ARE GOING TO COMPLAIN IF SHE GETS THIS ROLE!
