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.
The Baker - Ben Wright
The Bakers Wife - Danielle Ferland
The Witch - Pamela Winslow
Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Jack would be perfect casting.
Perhaps 10 years ago...
I was gonna say...a 40 year old Jack?
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.
What is she potentially returning in Kad?
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.

Keep Sutton Foster as far away from this as humanly possible.
Is Victor Garber available for Narrator/Mysterious Man?
The narrator in this version is a little boy, not an older man.

Idea Laura Benanti as The Bakers Wife.
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.
It looks pretty stunning.

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

^Didn't the boy turn out to be the Baker's son?
