This is so exciting! What lovely casting. Mueller, of course, won a Jeff Award for her portrayal of Carrie Pipperidge in Chicago. Seeing her reprise the role will be amazing.

I saw Daniely play Enoch Snow in the Carnegie Hall concert...and he was magnificent.

Why didn't I get tickets to this?

I'm not going to lie, it cost probably 1/6th of my rent to buy a ticket, but man am I glad I did now.

Does anyone know how long Mueller will be out of Drood for this? I have tickets for 2/21, and would really like to see her...

Victoria Clark for Nettie!

Edit: no offense to Stephanie Blythe, I would just love to hear Victoria sing the score.

I am salivating at the thought of Jessie Mueller and Jason Danieley singing "When the Children Are Asleep". Both of their voices are just perfection. Heaven!!!!

I've always wondered this: Presumedly, Alison Cimet is on for Jessie during her rehearsal/performance period for Carosel. But what happens if Chita Rivera goes out during that week?

I can't wait for this. I love this show so much. Everyone I know makes fun of me for it. Of course, I could always do without the ballets in the various R&H shows.

Carousel is a lovely show, people shouldn't make fun. :) And this concert is sure to be impeccable. The talent involved is just astounding! Not gonna lie, if you live in the area and can afford to go and pass it by, I'm judging you a tiny bit.

My previous post about the ballet does lead to a serious question. Do you think it will be present in the concert?

Since Lonny Price isn't there to fvck it up, I'd say the chances are better than they were if he was attached. It's such an iconic part of the show, I can't imagine they'd cut it out.

It is iconic. But I struggle with it because I think brings the action to halt. That is likely to sound a bit stupid given that dance IS action.

I don't know. The ballets are treasured, and I can completely see why. I guess I just don't like them.

Having said that, I guess when producing these old famous musicals, it becomes more and more important over time to be true to the original.

Carousel is my FAVOURITE R&H so I'd take it in a park with trained dogs doing it.

I'd imagine since this is going to be televised, they're going to want to add as much "action" as possible, making it more of an Encores-like "concert".

I just watched a video shot with a stationary camera which I guess was the Troika tour. Watching it (or listening as it was hard to see anything from so far away) reminded me of just how gorgeous a show it is.

Like I say, my favourite. AND as I recall, the first musical I ever saw. Well, for a second time when I was 7. I guess as a babe I saw it in Manchester sitting on my mum's lap.

Very excited about this.

Carousel has never been given a stellar production on film (or video) ... unless you count bootlegs.

And it's a masterpiece. Time to set the record straight (as it were).

My gran brags that she saw the original in New York (I don't think it's true) but she loved the movie more. Why? It's not even something you could try to remake better now. But this will definitely be a nice installment to the shows history.
