Into The Woods casting updates — Page 10

Curious to see if the Witch stays a black actress with replacements, though.

If they do end up mixing things up, I'd love to see a black actress or actress of color as Baker's Wife.

For a show that’s going to continually switch up casting for shorter amounts of time, I hope they don’t box themselves in with only looking for replacements of a certain race for a role, no matter which it is. 

^ I, too, think she's more suited for that role. 

Why not Amy Adams and Donna Murphy, recreating park performances?

I just grabbed a pair using Broadway Week 2-1 offer. I saw it at Encores but in the rafters as I always buy the cheapest seats for that. I am on a really tight budget so either I do rush , standing room or miss a lot ( I generally avoid lotteries especially ones that require you to use a social media account which I don't have) I am very excited by the new casting. I am sorriest about not seeing Julia Lester again ( never heard of her before this). Kind of glad I will see Andy Karl for when I have seats since I saw Gavin Creel but I am especially excited that Milky White will still be the same ( my favorite). Even at $90 it was a stretch for my budget ( back of Orchestra) but have to splurge once in a while

If only Carole Shelley were still with us, would be a cute Wicked reunion. Love the idea of Sherie though.

Menzel now seems more Witch than Baker’s Wife but it’s nice to see the characters’ ages stretch upward. Many of these people have not done much Sondheim, certainly not on Broadway, and this is a glorious opportunity for them and us.

OH MY GOD!!! DAAAAAMN!!!! Make that two of us who that's the best "Last Midnight" we've ever seen! I want her to be the Witch so bad now!

I bought premium tickets for the Sept. 17th show. I guess I'm seeing Patina and Stephanie and Sebastian. Hope all are very good.

I agree with this.

Maybe at some point we can get Mandy as the Narrator. 

Not sure how it would fit around filming for their HBO Max show And Just Like That..., but Sara Ramirez as the Witch would be amazing.

^ You mean like Patina Miller?

How is Sutton Ross always this confidently and proudly WRONG about everything? Its almost impressive. 

After Patina Miller won her Tony in 2013, she "sprinted" from Broadway to make bank doing TV for 8 yrs before returning to ITW. But please go on about how Sara Ramirez is different and "shouldnt be in anything like this, ever."
