The question now is when will tickets go on sale?

Posted: 11/5/08 at 2:07pm

The real question is...will it be Groff or Hanke? My vote is for Groff.

I think I like this choice of a venue. But gee: Don't let the door hit you in the a** TOTC!

Can't wait to hear about the official casting!

I'm pretty sure Caren Lyn Manuel is touring with RENT, and Karen Olivo is going to be in West Side Story- so they need a new Sheila.

Am the ONLY one backing Hanke for this?
Dude needs something solid for once!

I would LOVE to see Hanke take over the role on Broadway! I didn't see Groff in the park, I saw Hanke and thought he was incredible.

My vote is for neither Hanke nor Groff. Bring in someone new.

Who is Caren Lyn Manuel going to be on the RENT tour? I thought they cast Nicholette Hart as Maureen?

[PiraguaGuy2]

My vote is for Chris Hanke. He's one of those great performers who always gets stuck in the crappiest shows.

It will be Groff, remember when the move was first announced?
They were waiting for him.

Schweet. I really hope I can see this.

Having seen both of them, I vote for Hanke, but I'm fairly sure it'll be Groff.

Caren is probably going on the Rent tour as Mrs. Cohen and the u/s for Maureen and Mimi.

Mmm..interesting.

Groff will be playing Claude.

Not Hanke.

This is not the production that should transfer. Plain and simple. The script is fine, I'll grant that, but this is not the production that should play the Hirschfeld, plain and simple. Michael Butler's production from California, while not without its flaws, was much more current, relevant, and - frankly - moving than the terrible Park production I saw.

[AntonEgo]

Posted: 11/5/08 at 3:51pm

I can't remember, does the Hirschfeld have wide aisles?

[JRybka]

Posted: 11/5/08 at 3:55pm

Wasn't HAIR supposed to be in the Schubert? I wonder what will be there now....

[mattrob]

Posted: 11/5/08 at 4:01pm

Blythe Spirit will play the Shubert

[Princeton78]

Posted: 11/5/08 at 4:09pm

One of my favorite shows at one of my favorite theatres? Hot!

Quite a year for revivals, innit?

[BroadwayBoy2]

Not even in office yet, and hes already doing good!

Nicolette is going to be Maureen.
