How cool? I am the technical director for this play right now. Any comments on how you think this show will go?

I wonder who will be cast as Jo, Beth and Amy??

The article actually goes into further detail about the cast. With the exception of Jo, all major roles are announced. They have an actress in mind for Jo and she is why they postponed the show.

They are interested in snagging Kerry O'Malley for the role of Jo March, and she is tied up with "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" until December 14. Sutton Foster is also in talks to land a role.

Sutton would be good.

I am kind of excited about this project. I also agree that Sutton would be great in the show. I think it will be a feel good, classic show. I think Tammy Blanchard would be great in any of the roles.

Sounds like a great idea. I hope it's successful. I love the story of Little Women. It'll be interesting to see what happens with it!

There is so many different scripts of this show. I hope they make it interesting. What are some song titles that would fit the story?

YAY! I'm looking forward to this. It's about time they did this. I love Little Women.

isnt she doing Henry IV?

Depending on how much singing the mother character has, I think that Patty Duke would be great for the mother part.
Is McGovern a sure thing?

Dianne Carroll would be great as the mother. Or, Harvey Fierstein would be an interesting choice if he's not still doing HAIRSPRAY.

Am I the only one rather unsure of John Hickok as Friederich?

"Old Fritz"

Harvey Fierstein???!!! Little Women is a drama!!!

I'm glad to see Sutton is finally, most likely, leaving Millie. I haven't seen her, nor do I know whether she's "good" in it, but I day it's time to move on to a new project. In the words of her beloved 12 yr. old fans on her Official Site Message Board..."Go Sutty!"

we dont call her that! that sounds like something else. and we are all not twelve! thought there are a couple of people around that age, there are lots of college age people that i'm sure act more maturely than some here

my friend is Sutton's dresser and he told me that she gets tons of offers, but she is so happy to be where she is so she has not wanted to leave. Coming from the chorus and "making it" she knows what it's like to be not be working so i guess she never wanted to leave her good gig. I wouldn't either.

ah Julian! funny how i always thought he was in the show somehow i got the feeling he was in ensemble though i never saw his picture because he was always mingling at the stage door and it wasnt until i saw the makeover that i knew he was her dresser! oh those shirts he did (which are very nice btw!) there was a card with his url from where you could order some online? do you happen to know the address?
