do you think Lisa Howard will be understudying Kelli O'Hara? i'm just asking because i'd rather go see Lisa Howard in the role than her.

I feel like Lisa Howard will understudy Loretta Ables Sayre.

that's what i thought too, but i'm not sure if they will keep that with a Hawaian actress. i just basically want her to be understudying for a principle, which is hopefully true.

A well-rounded cast. I'm especially excited to see Laura Marie Duncan and Wendi Bergamini; saw them on the DRS and CATS tours, respectively.

I can't remember exactly how long Carousel ran, but South Pacific has just got to extend past 2008.

Sounds like a great cast!

I know that Noah Weisberg is playing the Professor.

the following men: Sean Cullen, Victor Hawks and Thomas G. Waites are probably playing the other featured roles like Lt. Brackett, etc...

I know that Luka Kain is playing Jerome, Emile's son because I know he is a very little boy, and Li Jun Li and Laurissa Romain are either Liat or Emile's daughter, not sure which will be which...not many roles left after that.

Please tell me Matt Caplan isn't understudying Cable.

Victor Hawks is playing Stewpot. Got it straight for the horses mouth.

This is Harvard, not a stripper bar...

I knew that there was a perfect role for Hawks...yeah, I heard it was Stewpot as well.

Thomas Waites and Sean Cullen are older actors, so it makes sense that they will be playing the other roles.

This is exciting. Right now, Kelli O'Hara is Broadway's leading lady and a perfect fit for this role.

Hoping she finally wins her much deserved Tony.

If anything, as someone else said, Lisa Howard would be covering Bloody Mary.

I am curious to see who they have understudying Nellie. My guess would be Laura Marie Duncan and Laura Griffith, or perhaps Becca Ayers?

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.

Li Jun Li is playing Liat. She's a model -- and beautiful. Saw her pics on the web.

This is a fantastic cast.

oops. Meant to add: Maryann Hu is u/s Bloody Mary. Lisa Howard is playing the head nurse so might be u/s Nellie. Dunno.
