I wonder is the role of the Fortune Teller a bigger role than in the origina; seeing as Keala Settle is playing it? Excited to see the show!!
Told y'all.
OH how much i wish this was Betsy Wolfe and Erin Davie. I think Erin Davie is brilliant, she was hands down my favorite in A little night music.
I'm surprised at the large gap in between the two productions. The actors will have a 6 month break in between.
I heard cold reactions to Erin in A Little Night Music when it first opened, but I saw the show when Peters and Stritch joined the cast and she was one of the highlights for me. She was so bitter and jaded. Absolutely wonderful.
I'm very excited to hear about the new music and to see which ones will stay. Did anyone on here see any of the previous workshops/readings?

It is public knowledge that Michelle London is covering both girls.

So, I hope I don't get any hate from anyone, but I just listened to SideShow's Tony's performance for the first time and LOVED IT!!!!!!!!! I am now super excited for this production!!!! I feel so lucky that I live near the Kennedy Center. First, If/Then in the fall and SideShow in the summer, DC musical theatre fans are getting it good this season. Also, I'm so happy that Emily Padgett got out of that travesty called, Flashdance.
What a bland ass cast.
I like Erin Davie, but the two people from Flashdance in this? Snooze.

NEXT, PLEASE

Interesting song list. I'm curious how many more changes have been made since then (was Bill Condon involved in the 2008 reading?)
