henrik, Kendrick promoted THE LAST 5 YEARS at the Toronto Film Festival and has given interviews about INTO THE WOODS. In those interviews, she has been vocal about taking a break from musicals, specifying how she wants audiences to see her delivering dialogue throughout a film without breaking into song. Not sure why you fell the need to write a pretty bitchy reply but good for you, glad you got it out of your system.

Michelle Dockery would be a great Sally. Wonder if it's something she'd be interested in doing. She's already auditioned for Rob Marshall before, even if she didn't get the role, I wouldn't be surprised if he thinks of her for this one.

Michelle Dockery would be amazing and now I want this to happen.

Carey Mulligan would be 100% ideal.

I know she's in a play this season. Doesn't change the fact that I think she'd be ideal for the part.

I honestly just think that she'll extend to March 29 and the show will just end there.

The recent NY Times piece about Emma Stone says she was the first choice to play the role. I'm curious if they asked Mulligan at all or if they went straight for Michelle Williams. Carey Mulligan always seemed to me the most ideal choice for Sally, maybe because she played a Sally type in SHAME with such nuance and skill. Wonder if the team ever approached her and she refused, or if she simply wasn't asked. I can't imagine an actress working today (besides Toni Collette, who in my book is ageless) whom I'd rather see play the role--though Jessica Chastain also comes to mind.

I'm with bfreak. It will close with her.

She's probably too old, and isn't really a "name", but I always thought Bianca Marroquin would make an interesting Sally.

Carey Mulligan and Michelle Dockery are fantastic choices!

Whatever the show's decision is, we will definitely hear something about it in the near future. (mid-late December?)

Roundabout is extremely strapped for cash these days. They'd put even C-list replacements into the show before they'd close it in March or April and face Studio 54 being dark for upwards of six months. I imagine they'll try and get Emma Stone to extend through Alan Cumming's final performance and then bring in a new Sally and Emcee simultaneously. The prospect of an extended rehearsal process alongside another new lead could be appetizing to actors who may otherwise by skeptical about replacing.

While she's a terrific suggestion, Carey Mulligan is unavailable to go into the show now because of SKYLIGHT on Broadway and was unavailable to open it originally because of SKYLIGHT in London.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

She's a major A-lister so it will probably never happen unless they decide to do that much needed movie remake, but Anne Hathaway would kill it as Sally.
As would Emily Blunt for that matter.
