I highly doubt Playbill would report this based on reading BWW or ATC. I imagine they have their own sources that actually confirmed the two women are in actual talks. It's the Broadway theatre community, not the Oval office, I doubt it's that hard for Playbill to find out if the rumors of negotiations are true or not. Again, they stated the women are just in talks, not that they are doing it, so that's all they are reporting. So we know the two of them have been approached, we'll see if they actually decide to do it or not. We all found out from the Gwyneth Paltrow/Blythe Danner rumor and the Debbie Reynolds rumor that talks have happened, they just haven't materialized, I'm really crossing my fingers that this one does.
I seriously think the idea of Stritch and Peters together on stage in a Stephen Sondheim show is almost too good to be true. I can't wait to see what kind of chemistry the two of them have together as mother and daughter, I can't wait to see Stritch in the Act I opening with the whole company, and I most certainly cannot wait to see Peters' wonderful "Send in the Clowns."
Isn't Hanson leaving too? He's fine but he won't do opposite Peters. I wonder if they'll get Tom Wopat who starred in the ANNIE GET YOUR GUN revival and is now in SONDHEIM ON SONDHEIM, of course. I would personally love it if they got Victor Garber, but that's just about impossible.
