Posted: 9/22/09 at 4:21pmOoh, I was hoping that Aaron Lazar would be back on Broadway soon after Tale didn't exactly work out...

Posted: 9/22/09 at 4:24pmYesssss, finally! Just an hour or two before this was posted I was thinking about how they really need to make it official and was going to post on the other thread if anything heard anything. Yay!

Posted: 9/22/09 at 4:24pmSOOOOOOOO excited for Aaron Lazar and Leigh Ann Larkin. I really do wish that someone else were playing Charlotte though. I like Erin Davie, but I cannot see her in that role. Oh well, perhaps I will be pleasantly surprised.

Posted: 9/22/09 at 4:27pmDefinitely psyched for A Lans, Erin Davie, Aaron Lazar and Leigh Ann Larkin! I'm really looking forward to hearing Herdlicka and Ramona Mallory, too.

Now that I can actually talk about it: I am shocked about the producers casting Hanson (especially since there was so much drama over Hannah Waddingham) but I can't wait to see his portrayal of the character. Would I have liked to have seen Stokes or some other "Broadway star", sure, but this is also exciting.
bjh- I have loved Davie in everything I have seen her do. She makes great choices as an actress (both in terms of roles to play and how to play them) and I can't wait to see her in this.

Posted: 9/22/09 at 4:47pmSaw it in London, and while Alexander is very good in the role, and he and HAnnah had chemistry, he wasnt knock out 'wow lets transfer him to NYC because no one else could do it like that' brilliant

Posted: 9/22/09 at 4:52pmIm so excited about this cast! As for Hanson, I was quite shocked at first! But good for him! Saw him in both this and Marguerite and I thought he didn't disappoint in both!

Excited for Leigh Ann Larkin!!! She deserved a Tony nod for GYPSY.
I've yet to be blown away by either Erin Davie or Aaron Lazar, so maybe now I will be? I hope so!
Very excited for this.

Posted: 9/22/09 at 4:58pmanyone got a closing date for this? doesnt mention in any press release that I can see when its running until? I assume with a cast like this it will be limited

SO happy for Aaron Lazar!
Hanson was very good in the London production. I'm glad to see him come over.

Obviously she's too old for this production, but Christine Baranski was divine as Charlotte in the Roundabout concert!

Posted: 9/22/09 at 5:14pmINCREDIBLE CASTING, all around. I'm so very excited for this revival.

I liked her in Grey Gardens, but really didn't care for in Applause at Encores! So we'll see.

Lol re the casting of Fredrick. What a disappointment, but good for him. Sorry but the last word that comes to mind regarding him is exciting, unless you are his family or a friend, in which case, good for you.
Overall, this feels incredibly anti-climatic after so much speculation. The only piece of casting we were waiting for was Fredrick and look who it turned out to be.
Happy for Lansbury, Zeta-Jones, and Davie though.

All this endless speculation....
I hope they make the official announcement soon.

I'm just so happy that its not Raul Esparza as Frederik, that I'll take Hanson.
I can't wait to see this, I love idea Zeta-Jone, Davie, Larkin and of course Lansbury in these role, I'm not the biggest fan of Lazar, but I can see him doing it well.

Just what we needed.
Petra, such elegant casting!
So chic, I hardly believe it.

Posted: 9/22/09 at 5:43pmI hope they don't bring over Alexander Hanson for this - I think he's too young for the role.
#23re: It's Official! Lansbury & Zeta-Jones Set for A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC; Laza
Posted: 9/22/09 at 5:46pmumm, this is the official announcement. He is coming over. And He is not too young, please remember that Nunn is telling this with a younger cast.
