Nice that they're doing BIRDIE after it got canceled right as Covid was hitting in 2020. Wonder if they'll be able to get some of the cast back (namely Harvey Fierstein as Mae).

Wonder who they'll cast as Guido...

I’m so excited that they’re going to do Birdie after it was cancelled because of Covid. Really hoping they’re able to get Harvey again!

I can’t wait to see who they get for NINE.

I can only hope that Harvey is available to play Mae. It's a role he was born to play.

IKR. Raúl Esparza and Carmen Cusack would be my dream pairing for this.

What time of rehearsal period to they have. Is it like a Broadway show?

Typically only two or three weeks of rehearsal for these.

Isn’t Santino Fontana in an NYC NINE in concert late June or did I dream this? I adore this score. Saw Raul once, Antonio twice. Who can tell me whom I saw in the first national tour of the original. I hated what the tour did to the brilliant Tommy Tune staging.

Nine. Let’s hope it leads to a Broadway production
