"Dame Edna as Mme. Armfeld and Megan Mullaly as Desiree. They're avail."

In that case, how about Michael Fienstein as Frederick and Valerie Harper as Anne?

^^you're welcome^^

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. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

Dame Edna as Mme. Armfeldt would be priceless!

Seriously though, I don't have any rumors. But after seeing her performance in A Single Man, I think Julianne Moore would make a lovely Desiree. I would also love to see Cate Blanchett take a stab at it.

if Raul Esparza could magically age 10 years or so (ok, maybe more...), Fredrick? because what role *wouldn't* benefit from his "devilish cleverness"? (paraphrasing from the NY times)

Given the relative youth of this cast, Esparza's age wouldn't be a problem. But he is spoken for elsewhere starting in July!

Pretty sure Leigh Ann Larkin is contracted through the fall. It's only the three leads who are up in June.

Charlotte Rae as Mme Armfeldt, Lisa Whelchel as Desiree (with an extra scene added where she stuffs hot sauce in Fredrika's mouth and tells her she's going to hell).

Well since he was brought over by permission, I would imagine he only signed for 6 months.

Havilland Stillwell??? Maybe it's her family posting?
Anyhoo, although she's about 20 yrs younger than
Angie, how about Betty Buckley as Armfeld? A little makeup will age her more

Kelly Bishop as Armfeld and Lauren Graham as Desiree.

More about the Paltrow and Danner rumors. The writer is an idiot though. They are not too young for Nunn's "concept." They are the ages he cast in London, and originally wanted for Broadway.
This person also claims the producers are looking at Mariska Hargitay for Desiree. I think she is a beautiful woman, but I'm not sure she is the right type.

Don't you approve?

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

Ljay, Friedman is simply saying they seem young for the roles, not that they shouldn't play it or anything, and he's right regardless of what Trevor Nunn thinks. I'm not sure if Friedman is correct on this one but I love his scoop, he's usually pretty reliable and his info tends to come from very good sources. Recently he was the first one to report on the Haiti telethon after George Clooney told him at one of the pre-Oscar events and he also was the first to report on the idea of re-recording We Are the World after the Grammys.
Either way, I must say I would kinda pee my pants if this were to happen, I think they would both be excellent in the parts and Paltrow has been on stage before.

"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"

All I am meant was their ages are hardly shocking if you are familiar with the London cast of this production. Waddingham was 34 and Lipman was 63.
Danner is 67 and Paltrow is going to be 38. That is hardly anything drastic at all.

I'd rather see Danner as Madame Armfeldt than Paltrow as Desiree.

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain. -Kad

^ I agree to an extent. But if they were able to get an Oscar winner to replace an Oscar winner, I give these producers a lot of credit.

Someone on ATC claims this isn't true, so who knows what's going on! I still wouldn't be shocked if we ended up with Brooke Shields.

I would rather see Mariska as Desiree. I'm actually intrigued by the possibility.
