^ Because Butz looked oh so Jewish in the orginal. Judaism is a religion not a race and given that he's actually a brunette (with a pretty big honker.) i think we'd be okay.

Laura B isn't really a belter. This role requires one. Jeremy and Ashley would be perfect, but they probably would want a bigger name like Megan Hilty for the female lead.

" Judaism is a religion not a race "

Um..... That's an arguable statement.

Butz looks a lot more "Jewish" than Tveit.

Elizabeth Stanley? zzzzz

I think Wesley Taylor would be another great choice for Jamie.

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

What's the problem with her she sounds awesome to me. If it's because in real life she's jewish, that has to be the stupidest reason i've ever heard for not casting someone.

Jordan, haven't you offered one of your nuts on here once before? LOL.

I'm super excited about this.

I'd like Jeremy Jordan and Laura Osnes because I thought they had serious chemistry in Bonnie and Clyde.

Jeremy Jordan and Ashley Spencer would be really cute, too.

Jordan, that's just wrong. And ridiculous.

#42

Why? Because you think they're not talented? THAT is ridiculous and wrong.

The two are supposed to have sexual chemistry which is impossible since they are brother and sister. And gross. Sure they are talented. I could see Celia in this, but she wouldn't be anywhere near my top choices.

I thought they were brother and sister... That would be like Sutton and Hunter in the show. EW


What bout someone like Leslie Kritzer or Nikki Snelson.

"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

And why would anyone want to see Hunter do anything? He's turned into such a mean SOB, you'd be waiting for him to punch Cathy in the face all night.

Well, I think Jamie's a pretty big jerk, so it wouldn't be a huge stretch for me!

Maybe they can do it like Chicago.
