I'm holding on to the hope of no Ambrose, and it looks like it might just come true... JIM, what do a poor flower girl, pie-serving waitress, and former Cuban singer have in common?

Doesn't look like they'll have to worry about the accent.

I'll just say that her performance will surely be so amazing that you'll still be thinking about it when you're six feet under.

Look, Sher's a great director that knows how to get great performances out of his actors. No matter who he goes with, this is guaranteed to be a great production.

^100% agree GeorgeAndDot, this will be fabulous no matter what. I know nothing about Ambrose but I'm excited to become more familiar with her now.
Anyone want to spill the beans on Higgins? I would ask for Dinklage in a veiled way, but I don't know GoT enough to pun it :P.

I don’t the Dinklage thing has ever existed outside this thread

Frances Conroy would be lovely as Mama Higgins, but I'm kind of hoping that part went to Mary Beth Peil.

I wouldn’t recommend holding on to that hope. As for the riddle you’ve posed; in this case nothing.

The Lauren Ambrose criticisms are unfair. They are simply coming from a fanboy mentality of those on the board fantasizing their favorites in the role. Sher deserves some credit and faith here in his casting choice.

Yes, unfair and unfounded. I appreciate the level of apprehension, concerning her status as an unknown in the theatre industry, but Sher wouldn’t have given her a second thought, if he wasn’t convinced she had what it takes. His work speaks for itself.

Agreed. I totally trust Sher. I know little about Ambrose but am genuinely excited to see the Sher/LCT take on this glorious show, regardless of the cast.
