Any idea of who will be the next Sally in Cabaret?

I've heard they've offered Liza the part

I'm very curious. I'm sure they'll go with a "big" name.

Definitely a big name, you're right... Wonder when Anna Kendrick may return to Broadway, now that she's a household name?

^And she already knows co-director/Choreographer Rob Marshall...

I would love love love Anna to be in this!!!!!

Emma could always just extend through March, when I assume the show is closing up shop?

Bring back Brooke Shields! NOT!

Wouldn't the show just close? Anna Kendrick has done nothing but distance herself from musicals during the press rounds for THE LAST 5 YEARS and the early press for INTO THE WOODS. In fact, she recently told Playbill.com that the role that would get her back to Broadway is...Henrik in A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC. Not to mention she's all kinds of wrong for Sally.

"Wouldn't the show just close?"

The show is scheduled to run through March. Emma is running through early February.

I wonder if the show will tour.
If so I wonder who would lead the cast as Sally and the emcee.

I know she's most probably too old, but Toni Collette would be amazing.

"I wonder if the show will tour."

Hard to say, since it technically already did.

Kendrick, not a good fit, no.

Maybe Anne Hathaway???

I doubt Anne would ever be a replacement, but she does have the average voice needed for the part.

"Anna Kendrick has done nothing but distance herself from musicals during the press rounds for THE LAST 5 YEARS and the early press for INTO THE WOODS."

um, how exactly would that be possible?

Well, after two back to back musical movies, she could be saying she is looking for roles in different genres in the near term?

I think Anna is very talented, but I do not think that Sally fits her all too well. If she could sing, Jennifer Lawrence would be fantastic! Other than that, they'll probably try and find some hot young actress. I think Kirsten Dunst would be interesting, but I'm not sure how big of a draw she would be.

I've convinced myself that The Real Thing is one way Roundabout is preparing Maggie Gyllenhaal for the role. I think she'd be excellent.

Michelle Dockery (Lady Mary from Downton Abbey). Her voice, though light, is appropriately low pitched, which isn't the case for most modern day Sallys.

I've been hoping they'd go with Carey Mulligan for a while now.

The next replacement will most likely not be quite so A-list as Stone. I can easily seeing it be one of the Downton ladies. They're known but you still have to say "Jessica Brown Findlay...she played Lady Sybil."
