Alright, I'll stir the pot - Marin Mazzie's too old. The character is in her late 30s and Marin's closing in on 50.

"Spamalot, Enron and now Next to Normal? What a waste of Marin's talent. I wonder when will this Broadway DIVA be in a good show for a change."
WHAT WHAT WHAT.

Alice Ripley will be 47 this year, so she's closing in on 50 too.

According to wikipedia, Mazzie (b. 1960) is only about 3 years older than Ripley (b. 1963).
And while we're googling:
Scott (b. 1967)
Carmello (b. 1962)

I third (or fourth) the notion that a well trained singer can sing anything! Marin and Jason would be PHENOMENAL!
and too old? possibly but all the actors just listed look DAMN good for their age and I wouldn't have thought pushing 50 at all, especiall a few rows back in a theatre.

I thought Ms. Mazzie was tap dancing on the other side of 50!

She & Zeta Jones might have the same on-line team submitting their 'bairthdates.' LOL

Wow. Hopefully she is, but it does seem kind of spontanious...I didn't know she was eve in talks for the role. O_o
I think if it happens, it'll bring a very different draw to the show. I actually think her and Norbert would be a good match, considering Norbert was in the workshop (then called "Feeling Electric") and they had great chemistry in Enron. Needless to say, Norbert was really incredible in the workshop...but the likelihood that we'd get both of them would be slim after Enron :3
Although I've heard great things about Alice's understudy, just to add.

I doubt Tony Award winner Norbert Leo Butz would be the 3rd replacement for Dan.

Ooh, this would be great! Mazzie and Danieley sound wonderful together. And I agree with whoever mentioned Jason's solo CD: he's a pro and has the ability to sing various styles. I'm in for this!

Awesome!
I doubt it - but I hope the show (and Mazzie) can sustain another 11 months so I can see it again :P.

Um. Well. I'm holding my flails until there's confirmation, but if this is true...oh my god.

Since Carmello got brought up, I'd love to see Terrence Mann as Dan.

I'd love to see this happen. As a longtime N2N fan and even longer Ripley fan, I hope Mazzie is ready for the crazies. I haven't seen the show in a longtime but this would be a good excuse to return.

Just wanted to let people know that a friend of Alice (they went to school together) informed me that she most likely would not do the whole tour, just the opening gig or LA. This was a few weeks ago, though.

If Marin goes into this show, I will be there multiple times. She is a true star and would do wonders with this role. I love her so much.
She and Jason together would be heaven.

Whatever happened to Ripley going on vacation? did that already happen?

Yes, IIRC, it has already happened.

Jason is going to play the Therapist. Not the Husband. Marin will spectacular.

^Then I wonder who the new Dan will be???
And vocally, Daniely as the Doctors makes a lot more sense. I also imagine the scenes where Diana envisions herself being attracted to her doctors will be quite funny when Marin does it opposite her real life husband.
