Good seats are still available. I just scored two seats in the second row center orchestra for the final performance on December 3rd. I'm looking forward to the show.
I think the casting is pretty spot on.

I know! I'm so damn excited for everyone!
THIS CASTING IS PERFECTION!!!
So excited for this cast! I guess this puts Ashley Park out of the running for Eliza Doolittle though
Yes, Kerry Butler! Been waiting for her to come back to Broadway (I missed Disaster). Was hoping she replaced Rachel Bay Jones in Dear Evan Hansen (thought I doubt she is leaving anytime soon), but this is even better.
Taylor Louderman, is the last person I would think of when I think Regina George...maybe Karen, but I honestly can't imagine the doe-eyed and sweet Taylor Louderman as the hypersexualized, Queen Bee B&*#$ that is Regina George.
She may surprise me, but I thought shed make a great Princess Anna in Frozen, and maybe have Ms Murin play Regina instead.
Or at least have Taylor and Kate Rockwell swap roles.

Well, she is an actress. They transform into whatever they need to be. Yep, this casting is VERY spot on....
Taylor Louderman bores me.
Ashley Park as Gretchen is INSPIRED. Barrett Wilburt Weed is perfect for Janis. I wonder if Ms. Norbury still plays all the parents as it was rumored she did in the readings, if so Kerry Butler really is perfect for that. Her as Mrs. George already has me laughing.
Ashley Park is quickly turning into one of my favorites so I'm officially excited for this. I guess the Eliza rumors were wrong.
I was hoping too for Ashely in MFL or even Carousel as Carrie. But, I'm so thrilled to see her again! Loved her since King and I

If anyone lives in the Pittsburgh area, Erika Henningsen is playing Sophie in a regional production of Mamma Mia this weekend...I wasn't going to go but I might now just to see what is up with her lol.
Seems odd to go from Fantine to playing a high schooler?
I'm excited about Ben Tyler Cook
Ooh this is great casting! Taylor Louderman will make a fantastic Regina, I always love seeing actors do roles where they surprise people. I'm most excited for Ashley Park and Barrett though, both are very, very strong actresses with absolutely gorgeous voices. They will kill these roles!
I am super pumped for Grey Henson! He was one of my favorite McKinleys in BOM. Super funny!

Rippedman, To be fair, she was a super young Fantine. I think she was only 22 or 23 at the time.
I was just listening to Bring It On yesterday and I was think how great Kate Rockwell would be in this. So that's super cool.
This cast has also been billed as the D.C. Cast and not as the D.C. And Broadway cast, should we expect some recasting later before broadway?

Solid casting...we'll see when then the reviews come out...one never knows?
Has "Mean Girls" officially announced a Broadway opening? Could be why.
And I think Louderman is perfect casting. To me she always comes off as kind of "steely."
So excited for Kerry Butler! She's still got it!!
Fantastic casting. I love Taylor Louderman and her casting reminds me of when Rachel McAdams was cast in the movie. Tina Fey said that McAdams secured the role because it takes someone who isn't a bitch to successfully play a bitch.
I really hope this does well. I want it to go down the Legally Blonde route and not the First Wives Club route. Time will tell.
