Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Jack would be perfect casting.

Would love to see Julia Murney as the Bakers Wife.

I know she is too old... But damn I would love to hear LuPone sing the Witch.

Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Pretty sure any joke I could make about Vergara as The Baker's Wife would be offensive to someone.

Meryl will probably be returning to the Delacorte this summer... but not in this.


I'd like to see Susan Blackwell as the Baker's Wife, but that's just me.

I'm guessing in something Shakespearean. In which case, I'm actually going to go line up now.

I'm sure it'll be announced imminently. Just know that it's the 50th SitP season, so expect that to be fully embraced

I don't know... I can think of a few involving buns and bakers' racks that shouldn't be too offensive.

12 hours in a line with five hundred 20 year old Musical theater geeks is my idea of hell. If my life were a SAW movie, I'd be kidnapped and wake up chained to a tree in Central Park surrounded by high school and college boys screaming out their own versions of "I'm Still Here" and "Rose's Turn" while their "girlfriends" cry over a half eaten wedding cake while complaining that they'll never find a straight man who they can date because they just don't "get" theater and that's a dealbreaker!

Those lines are like being in a non eq holding room overnight. I'd rather miss the show.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I'm really hoping they ditch having the Narrator as a boy. I've seen the production and it's one of the major things that doesn't work about it.

The Narrator as boy was used as a device to further illustrate the musical's themes of parenting and adolescence.
