Michelle Dockery in Into the Woods?

Is there any specific talk in various spheres of another ITW revival on West End or screen? Seems like some Michelle Dockery audition video for Cinderella has popped up online recently for it...

Just adding that I AM NOT OPPOSED TO THIS (BRILLIANT BRILLIANT) CASTING.

She is great. Just don't take her away from Downton Abbey, please! And, I couldn't tell from the clip, can she sing?

There's another clip from the same audition that's her singing more: http://vimeo.com/48536894



Downton films so little time during the year though, it would seem she'd for sure be able to put in some stage or film time!

Not quite legit voice. But she's perfection in DA.

Is the second song "Bonjour" from Beauty and the Beast?

Hellz yea. That would be pretty genius...

**squeals like fangirl** (love her on "Downton")

And maybe not "legit," but a nice companion to Amy Adams' voice should this come to pass...

PS: From Wikipedia:

"Dockery is also a jazz singer. She sang at the 50th Anniversary of Ronnie Scott's Jazz club in London and has occasionally sung with Sadie and the Hotheads, a band formed by Elizabeth McGovern, who plays her mother in Downton Abbey. Dockery cites her musical influences as Peggy Lee, Melody Gardot and Billie Holiday in her more melancholy moods."

lady mary is my favorite character on downton abbey and i'm sure she'd be brilliant in the role, but is she too old? how old is cinderella supposed to be anyway? i've always thought of her as being closer to twenty than thirty, but from what i can find most of the actresses who have played her in major productions in the past have been in their late twenties, with the outliers being laura benanti at 22 and helen dallimore at 38 (??!). but there's obviously a lot more wiggle room on stage than onscreen. if they're going for an older cinderella i wonder if the rest of the cast is going to skew slightly older as well.
