Vanessa Williams is going to be the new housewife on Wisteria Lane this fall. She won't be in NYC.

Posted: 5/27/10 at 12:37amI'd love to see Liza alongside Elvira as Desiree.
#30Night Music replacement rumor?
Posted: 5/27/10 at 12:39amIf Marin weren't rumored to be doing Next to Normal, I would totally pick her as Desiree. After all, she does have Sondheim ties from doing Passion. She would be sooooo good!

Well yeah, but she's no Elvira. I mean c'mon, she SCREAMS Desiree Armfeldt

Posted: 5/27/10 at 1:55amBernadette seems the most likely candidate. Or Patti.

After hearing all this, I stand by Bernadette.
They wouldn't reconsider for Patti. She not right for this production. Donna Murphy isn't a big enough name to reconsider closing. Madonna is directing a movie this summer.
If Bernadette really wanted to play the part, she may be thinking, "It's now or never. What the hell?"

I agree Patti is completely wrong for this production. I just don't think she's right for the part in general. It is interesting that Patti was at the show Tuesday night though.
If Bernadette really wanted to play the part, she may be thinking, "It's now or never. What the hell?"
Good point. I think she's still sexy enough to pull it off.

Posted: 5/27/10 at 2:41amBernadette seems to be a shoe in then from most of the comments! Personally, I would love to come and see again if this were to be true! Could it make it out till the end of summer if she came into the show?

Bitch please, I'm hoping it lasts till next spring!!I (Unbelievably doubtful though).
At least there will be time to start new filming!Rumours! threads, if the show continues.
#38Night Music replacement rumor?
Posted: 5/27/10 at 8:47amWhy is it anytime a certain actor attends a show people assume that actor will be a replacement?
#39Night Music replacement rumor?
Posted: 5/27/10 at 8:54amBecause actors never go to see shows for entertainment like the rest of us.
#40Night Music replacement rumor?
Posted: 5/27/10 at 10:10amNor do they go to support the work of their friends and colleagues.
#41Night Music replacement rumor?
Posted: 5/27/10 at 10:13amI heard Douglas Hodge will be the new Desiree.

I saw Britney Spears at a Jamba Juice a while ago. Does that mean she'll end up working there?
#43Night Music replacement rumor?
Posted: 5/27/10 at 10:16amMister Matt, I would actually love to see a drag performance of A Little Night Music, although not necessarily Douglas Hodge as Desiree.
#44Night Music replacement rumor?
Posted: 5/27/10 at 10:59amYou'll have to elaborate on the reasoning behind that one Voice, I can't imagine a drag production of NIGHT MUSIC being very fun at all, apart for about three of Madame Armfeldt's adroit quips. The rest of its way too sophisticated for drag...

Posted: 5/27/10 at 11:18amMy college did it with a man playing Madame Armfeldt.

"I saw Britney Spears at a Jamba Juice a while ago. Does that mean she'll end up working there?"
Yes - it would be a job she would be well suited for.

Someone on ATC is now hinting that it IS Bernadette.
Imagine if Angela stayed and the show starred two of Sondheim's best leading ladies?

I didn't care for this revival but I'd be back in a second for Bernadette.
Now that I'm imagining this, though, won't she look odd surrounded by so many young people? Not that she looks bad, quite the opposite. But the cast is so young...

The only problem could be her being lovers with Aaron Lazar. There must be like a 30 year age difference there. But luckily Bernadette could still pass for 40s. She will look absolutely fine with Alexander Hanson if he stays.
