Oh. My. Word. And we thought Bernadette and Elaine were inspired casting choices? This is the mother of all inspired casting choices!

My office mates are probably wondering why I'm jumping up and down right now.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Oh my God, Jack & Val were the best (Molly Shannon's "I wore your jockstrap as an oxygen mask all day" was priceless), I would love to be able to see this!

the link doesn't take me to the article, it's about her appearances on GLEE.


nevermind, found it on Playbill.com

With Shannon also scheduled to leave on the 26th makes it more believable it will close on that day.

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.

This is wonderful news. I could actually see Jen Cody in the role as well.

Someone who is not familiar with Molly Shannon, as I am from the UK, I take it by what has been posted so far this is very good news. I hope to see Promises, Promises again in November.

This makes me want a "Mary Katherine Gallagher Musical"

I also would love to see Amy Sedaris. Who knows if she can sing?

SUCH a good choice! I was thinking that no one could be as good in the role as Katie, but man I didn't even think about Molly. This is great!

Sweet jumpin jellybean, Amy Sedaris would be so fun as Marge! Good call!

Phantom of London: Molly Shannon joined SNL in the 90s and had a very memorable stint. She also did some work on Will & Grace as Val an insane neighbor of W&G, and also appeared more recently on Glee. Her talk show appearances are classic. We need more people like Molly Shannon. Go see if her sketch "Pet Show" is on YouTube. Another good SNL sketch was her "Leg Up!" with Molly playing Ann Miller to Cheri O'Teri's Debbie Reynolds. Of course Mary Catherine Gallagher is good times too.

With Irma you gotta do something!

I follow Chenoweth on Twitter and she said something a few weeks ago about Molly coming to the show and she hoped to see her again soon, but I didn't even put two and two together. GREAT casting!

I don't know how I missed this announcement. I got tickets to take my sister for her birthay and went to ibdb.com to see who was the Marge replacement. I was quite pleasantly surprised.

Does anyone know if Chenoweth has any time off planned?
