Yup. That made me more excited than it should have.
I'm such a theatre geek.

Posted: 6/17/19 at 9:26amThat’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.

Posted: 6/17/19 at 9:28amThis is so exciting. There is definitely room to improve upon Robert Wise’s film.

I recognize one of the Jets from Mean Girls, killer dancer.

Posted: 6/17/19 at 11:38amI 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.

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

Posted: 6/17/19 at 12:57pmCome 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,

Jeanine Tesori doing the vocal arrangements?!
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.

Posted: 6/17/19 at 7:18pmThanks, 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.
