I didn't realize this was opening that early. Sounds like a terrific cast
It's great to have Megan Lawrence back on Broadway!
Lora Lee Gayer!
Am I playing the game correctly?

I was hoping that Patti Murin and Hayley Podschun reprised their roles for this. They were both fantastic at Goodspeed a few years ago. I'm curious to see how Lora Lee Gayer and Megan Sikora are as Linda Mason and Lila Dixon.
The Roundabout is getting taxpayer money to produce Holiday Inn? A warmed over movie jukebox musical? Disgraceful.

Come on- whatever they get from the government is tiny- the theatre survives on donations and having to do some mass market stuff like this to pay the bills

I was hoping to see Corbin Bleu get a shot as a replacement in Hamilton. He was wonderful in In the Heights.
I'm guessing they cut the "Abraham" number...

I still think it's possible. I can see him in a few different roles in the show.
I saw the production at The Muny with Murin and co. and I truthfully hoped some of them would be in the Roundabout production. They were quite good. The show isn't a dramatic new revelation, but it's fun, a bit fluffy, and enjoyable.

Taxpayer money? What are you smoking?

This isn't England. Our theaters are not funded by the government. What is wrong with everyone?
I'm with neon on this one... Am I missing something here? Like...what are you all talking about???

Huh, would ya look at that, Lee wilkof. Neat. Also, I really think I'm missing something, what about tax payer money? I thought I read the full article; I must have missed something.

You didn't miss anything. There's no "taxpayer money" involved here.

Count me in with the group who was hoping to see Corbin in Hamilton... glad he's got this, though.
Glad to see Corbin in this show! I love him!
Here's the show artwork, which I don't believe I've seen anywhere else! By Roundabout standards, I think it's pretty good.

EDIT: I see now it's in the casting notice posted by the OP! Not sure if it was there earlier.
The balloons make me think of Up (the Pixar movie). It's very childish looking.
I don't care for this.
I'm bummed to not see either Nancy Opel or Susie Mosher reprising their role.
