Now, see, I don't think the chances of them coming over is that unlikely, at least not based on the fact that they are Brits.

For the past couple of years, American Equity and British Equity have pretty much ignored the rules regarding "star status" or being "uniquely qualified" and we are seeing an unprcedented number of Americans working in London and Brits on Broadway.

If Russell and Evans are not asked to come to New York, it will be because producers feel they need to cast names for Broadway.

KQuill, if you think I need to cool it based on my last post, you haven't seen me angry. I simply think Cerveris is vastly overused. I've never seen him put on a performance that was more than "very good", and for my favorite musical of all time I want better. I realize it won't happen, but I do wish Daniel Evans could be brought over. (I saw the show when Anna Jane Casey was still in it, so I can't speak for Jenna Russell, but I'm sure she's wonderful as well.)
