Any rumors on casting for either one of these? A friend called and found out that tickets go on sale to members for Birdie on 2/20 and to the public on 2/22, and for Nine it's 3/26 and 3/28... So now just need to know who is in them!

Don't throw shade, it could change.

Tickets for "Nine" go on sale in a couple of days. I hope they announce some casting soon!

I’d love for Santino Fontana to get another crack at it.

He was pretty terrible in it when he did the one-night concert for Transport Group last year.
Karen Akers, on the other hand, was STILL a fantastic Luisa!

Santino was indeed shockingly bad in the part. The role has enough laissez-faire in the writing. And then we got an actor who truly didn’t care on TOP of that.

It seemed like he was doing a "cold read" of the score. His eyes rarely left the pages of the script --similar to when Olympia Dukakis (who sounded like a great idea on paper) did the Encores 70 Girls, 70!

I live in DC and already purchased my Bye Bye Birdie tickets, but had no idea that they were doing Nine. Where have I been?!

Nine was supposed to be in October last year but was moved to the beginning of August.

Anyone else surprised by the fact that tickets are on sale and no cast has been announced yet? Seems odd.

It kind of pisses me off. I was prepared to buy but ain’t no way without at least SOME casting announced.

It's a regional theatre. It's possible that an actor fell out or they wanted to have a deal done by now, but Broadway and film/tv will always come ahead of the Kennedy Center.

Ever since the Kiss of the Spider Woman debacle, I kind of don't trust them.
