Norbert DEFINITELY looks Jewish -- in that nebbishy sort of way. And yes, it's both a religion AND an ethnicity -- with very distinct characteristics....no, not everyone falls INTO those characteristics, but they are important here.

Additionally, its not BECAUSE Lea is Jewish, its because she looks/comes off as a very stereotypical JAP (Jewish American Princess) making it ridiculous to cast her in the role. (and it would make me ill.)

SO excited for this!

I could see them selling about 10-50 tickets a night to non-subscribers. Wasn't the last off-broadway run virtually empty.

No idea how the original off-broadway run went, but I think the show has gathered a following (even as far away as Australia) since then - as has Jason Robert Brown. So I think ticket sales might be a little easier for a second off-Broadway run now.

Joanna Gleason and William Hurt, from the horse's mouth.

Don't get me wrong. I love Joanna Gleason more than almost any other living actress but, um.....

That Twitter account is not actually Joanna Gleason.

Well that was fast. It disappeared just a few minutes after I posted that. I'm not historically a mug when it comes to fake Twitter profiles, but that one was reasonable enough to convince me - and Betty Buckely it seems. It was her retweet of it that caught my attention. Very odd - makes me wonder why someone would go so far to seriously pretend to be Joanna Gleason.

Anneliese Van Der Pol would be the best. Also, Kate Wetherhead or Leslie Kritzer would be great.

No one has said anything about racism. SMH.

Don't know about you guys, but this is the revival I've been waiting for...

Last 5 years on broadway? I don't think that's what 2nd stage had in mind. It's perfect for an off-broadway runm, and it's perfect at their off-broadway theater.

I always thought they programmed DOGFIGHT so that if it had good reviews, it would transfer to Broadway the following season. Because it's one of the first shows to open in the new tony season, it would be perfectly aligned to transfer in the spring or even late fall.

Hilty for Cathy and Kazee for Jamie. I know it'd be a little raw but after watching a video of them doing a duet they work well as a dysfunctional couple. It mit have to limited, i guess it depends on Hiltys contract for Smash.

Josh Young and Leslie Kritzer or Betsy Morgan or Raven Symone (obvi)

Video of Hilty singing see i'm smiling. Sorry for the poor audio quality.

I challenge any of you to tell me why she's wrong for this.

JRB's enournmous ego will only be satisfied if he can direct, play the piano, play Jamie, design the set, lights and costumes, sell the tickets and usher.

I think he would insist upon playing both parts. And writing all the reviews. Which would all be glowing raves.
