Kathleen Marshall: 'It will be nice to have a Reno Sweeney who doesn’t have

Patti LuPone's dancing in Anything Goes was second only to Audrey Landers' dancing in the movie version of A Chorus Line.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Oh and that OUT interview or whatever you call it with Patti LuPone was one of the most unflattering and sad things I've ever read. If I were Patti that article would chap my a@#!

Dollypop, you should have interviewed her!

"The sexual energy between the mother and son really concerns me!"-random woman behind me at Next to Normal "I want to meet him after and bang him!"-random woman who exposed her breasts at Rock of Ages, referring to James Carpinello

Dollypop only interviews young male musical theatre actors on the down low.

"Broadway...I'll lick you yet!"

Are we discussing the same Kathleen Marshall who choreographed the 2001 Roundabout Follies?

Her work in that revival was excremental.

TheatreFan4, you've got it wrong. It's the Pone who has been LuPwnd untill and if she responds.
She fakes a timestep with the worst of them.
Now a yodeling Reno would really be cutting edge.

i'm thinking this production will do about as well as the recent "guys & dolls" revival. Nathan Lane already defined what that revival needed to be. Sorry Oliver.

Same thing here, Patti did it already, theres other shows to revive.

I am more troubled by this statement...
Marshall said the Roundabout revival will “basically” utilize the Timothy Crouse-John Weidman book that was written for the 1987 Lincoln Center revival...

Can someone tell me why the original book (which Miles Kruger calls one of the best constructed farces of the decade) and original score are not good enough for Roundabout?

Fortunately next spring Civic Light opera Company in Toronto will stage the show with the original 1934 book and score.

Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!

I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

Did Merman dance in the original?

When was the last time the original book and song-stack were presented? Tams-Witmark has been licensing the '62 Off-Broadway revival for forever, along with the '87 Lincoln Center version. And the '62 revival made just as many changes it seems as they made in '87.

Sally Ann Triplett kicked ASS in this production in London for the 2003 revival at the NT/Drury Lane

The show should have transfered... best Anything Goes i've ever seen.

^ I saw that 2003 London revival and loved it. Loved her too, but I was a little disappointed in her singing--maybe just because LuPone was still ringing in my ears (in a good way).
