Oh. My. God.

I am THRILLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish they had a new director, but I'm excited to finally see it!

I'm picking up some travel size Kleenex which I will keep in my bag until 2016.

Then after Unlikely Lovers, when the audience is all sniffles and sobs, I'll be prepared.

Laura Benanti as Trina, please god please.

Benanti will be in SHE LOVES ME when this happens. Trina is the role Leslie Kritzer was born to play.

If Something Rotten is a hit and wins the Tony I wonder which theatre this will go into. If Something Rotten wins, then all the 5 houses from Jujamcyn will be taken.

Jersey Boys might be closed by then too.

"Jersey Boys might be closed by then too."

I hope not because I would love to see Jersey Boys make it to its 10th Anniversary in November!

Now I just have to pray they'll hire a good cast

So exciting!
I would love to see Megan Hilty as Trina and Michael Arden as Whizzer.

My pipe dream would be Ewan McGregor as Marvin. Is Fiddler on the Roof still happening? Because I'd love Danny Burstein as Mendel.

Faith Prince isn't Jewish, yet she had no trouble believably playing Trina.

I know each act is only an hour long, but I wish they could do something like ANGELS IN AMERICA where MARCH OF THE FALSETTOS would play as a matinee, then there would be a dinner break and a return for FALSETTOLAND. (They could schedule them for 3 and 7 to make a more compact event.)

As much I loved FALSETTOS--and it is one of my favorite shows--it didn't compare to the intensity with which many of the same actors played MARCH OF THE FALSETTOS alone, knowing they had no "second act" for which to save their energy.

As for directors, I don't love everything Lapine does, but his direction of this show was so brilliant, it made me want to never direct anything again. I've seen other productions I enjoyed, but I don't know what director could improve on Lapine's work.

Anyway, however it develops, this is excellent news!
