Yup.  That made me more excited than it should have.

 

I'm such a  theatre geek.

That’s not the cast, that’s just Tony, Maria, the Jets and the Sharks. No Anita or any of the girls are in this photo nor Valentina the drugstore owner or Officer Krupkec etc. The cast would mean EVERYONE.

This is so exciting. There is definitely room to improve upon Robert Wise’s film.

I can’t wait for Mike Faist as Riff! I loved him when I first saw him in Dear Evan Hansen, and I really hope this film will open up a lot more opportunities for him. Faist aside, I’m so excited for this film. Between Spielberg, Kushner, and a killer cast, I truly believe it’s gonna be fantastic.

It's one picture, everybody calm down!

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Ummmm......don't see your point, there are definitely people of color in that photo - about 1/2 of them.

Come on, guys — this isn't like when BWW says "complete cast" in the headline and the piece includes "further casting to be announced."

I was referring to the design color palate, not the actors!

Wait.

Is Anybodys no longer being played by a woman, or did the picture and identification get it wrong,

I just did Violet, and her arrangements are genius. This has got me excited.

I don't see anything that even MENTIONS Anybodys - so not sure to what you are referring.

Thanks, Pose2. When I read Ezra’s name, I was thrown off. This definitely clarified!

A friend perfectly described this first press release photo:

Maria works at The Gap in midtown (hence her pressed khaki skirt).
Tony studies Contemporary Art at NYU.

And the others are heading to an open-call audition for Norwegian Cruise Line’s production of A BRONX TALE.
