Why wouldn't it be true? It's a legit newspaper.

No its not true. That girl just made it up and told all the British press that she's doing the movie. Everyone knows Johanna is being played by Barbara Cook.

Excuse me, it's the Irish press.

They were probably drunk.

If this is true. Thank God she is close to the proper age for Johanna.

Now let's hope our Anthony and Toby are cast the same way - age wise.

so, this paper is not a reliable source? just thought I'd ask, I'm not trying to be gossip-y. She really just told these people she was doing it? How lame

She's playing the role. All the leads have been cast.

EDIT: Let me rephrase: initial offers for all the leads have gone out. Whatever that's worth in Hollywood. Updated On: 12/29/06 at 08:11 PM

uhm, Toby?

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married.

Is Laura Michelle Kelly really the Beggar Woman?

Ah, sarcasm, I get it now. :)

At least partially - there was talk that the Beggar Woman had been offered to a slightly more well known name and that LMK was only playing Lucy in flashbacks.

There was also talk that Anthony was offered to a name, but that he turned it down due to schedule conflicts.

I imagine a full cast list will be coming out soon.

EDIT: It was Anthony offered to a name - not Toby. Toby is a kid. Updated On: 12/29/06 at 08:21 PM

- That actually sounds like it will really work. Hopefully the real Beggar Woman will have an older more neurotic look.

Well the woman they supposedly offered to is definitely neurotic...

Tony Winner but also has a film career.

Oooooh. Exciting. Can't wait to find out who it is.

Is Anthony going to be another unknown?

[Michael Bennett]

re: Jayne Wisener as Johanna? Is it true?#18

Posted: 12/29/06 at 8:45pm

I'm not sure who the second choice is. It seems like they would want to have at least one other name in the cast...

Big film career? Household name?

I wouldn't say she has a big film career though I guess she's a movie star of sorts. And no I dont think most households would know who she is.

Was the show she won a Tony for a musical?

I mean, there is the obvious. But, perhaps not. The obvious hasn't done a feature in a while.

Im not sure who the obvious person is! She was on screen last year. She's not best known for musicals.

Oh. Then it's not the obvious neurotic one.

I'll keep thinking.
