I am excited and scared at the same time. I love Melissa Gilbert - but a Little House on the Prairie musical? Sounds pretty risky to me. Can she even sing? I am sure it is mostly for the marketing aspect of the production.
I guess they had Patrick Swayze at one point https://www.broadwayworld.com/viewcolumn.cfm?colid=16701 , but I figure he had to back out due to his recent medical condition? https://uk.reuters.com/article/peopleNews/idUKN2729081520080528

1. That article is from over a year ago.
2. It was for a workshop, 2 performance gig.
3. Workshop casts are not committed in any way to keep on with the show.
4. Unless you find anything more current: I would suggest it might be dead in the water.

And I would suggest you click on footlight's bottom link, the one that says "Gilbert, Blanchard, Lindsay, Gambatese, Ford and Massey to Star in Guthrie's Prairie" which takes you to a Playbill.com news story, dated yesterday, about Melissa Gilbert starring in the Guthrie world premiere production this summer.
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Posted: 5/29/08 at 3:12pmyes, I suppose I should have. I didn't notice the 3rd link.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Posted: 5/29/08 at 3:26pmYes, and usually one apologizes when they have been rude to someone for no apparent reason.

More exciting: I may actually get to see it. Plus Jenn Gambatese will be in it. After TARZAN, maybe I'll actually get to see her in a good play . . .

...from the mouths of bobby's...brilliant! I find an extreme amount of rudeness around here, which perhaps is misdirected irony or jest...(?)
What do you think? =]
