Just read a Page Six blurb that said that Jerri Hall is preparing to do High Society in London. She can't be playing Tracy, can she? She's WAY too old! London posters, help me out, please...
If she's playing Tracy then I am sooooooooooooo there with a video camera and an audio recording device.

She's playing Tracey's mother. One to miss, I believe.
Found it! She's playing Tracy's MOTHER!
Jerry Hall "High Society" Interview
I'm wondering if there's a part for her "KEPT" man in the production? As far as her casting goes, the only other featured female role is the Celeste Holm part. I doubt she'd choose to play that role but she is surely more suited for it over the role of the thirtyish Tracy. I mean really, Natasha Richardson was still in her twenties on the OLC recording I have when she did the show in London a while back. I wonder what kind of looking glass Jeri has at home?

Tracy's mother is such a small role, I wonder why she's bothering with it.
Never mind...my last post came in right before the revelation of her playing the mother role. It is such a small part though. Very odd unless they find a way to write in a nude scene for the matriarch.

Did Jerri get Seth a small part in the production?
Are the reworking the show from it's Broadway engagement? Because it certainly was a very mediocre show when it played here and I would hope that it would be 'fixed' before crossing the pond.
HMMM Surprised she didn't try for the role of the little sister. Oh wait- she would be like seventeen foot tall if she went on pointe shoes. Never mind...
