Maybe Riedel's column tomorrow will be about this.

I was just thinking the same thing Ljay, I hope to hear something official soon! This prospect of ALNM extending at all after announcing its closing is exciting. Shall see in the morning!

Barbra is coming back to broadway.

Nice try, but I'm pretty sure Babs is going on tour.

Theatrefan, Can you try to make a Bernadette as Desiree picture?



And can you try to keep her in Catherine's wig?

Thanks

Remember, should Barbra Streisand return in this show, everything will need to be adjusted to show off Ms. Streisand's right side. And that's a lot of blocking.

And the microphones will all have to be painted white.

What we're really trying to say is the best choice to replace either Catherine Zeta-Jones or Angela Lansbury is Kathy Griffin.

I'll try ljay.

I might pay full price to see Kathy Griffin in A Little Night Music. As anything. As Frid.

She just randomly shows up at the party in the second act and makes loud comments about Angela Lansbury.

I'm going to try to Debbie Reynolds as Mme now.

That was quick!! Thank you.

She will obviously have a different wig, but I am trying to get a taste of her in the costume. Thanks!

To see Bernadette interpret Sondheim again... I know I'd buy tickets!

Desiree?

Nothing in today's Riedel column.

But someone on ATC is saying it's Peters AND Stritch.

I'm worried all of this is some sick joke, lol.

[rosscoe(au)]

Posted: 5/28/10 at 5:02am

I'd be happy to see Peters in the role, But I can keep hoping for Babs.

[bwaylvsong]

Posted: 5/28/10 at 10:50am

I read somewhere that Stritch has said she would turn down the role.

[Michael Bennett]

Posted: 5/28/10 at 11:00am

Yeah you read about it two pages earlier in this thread! I'm actually willing to bet thats the kind of thing Strich would say in defense of not being the one originally asked to do the role in this revival. But even if she did say that, people change their minds all the time. I'm sure if Steve called her personally she could (from an ego standpoint, I'm not sure if she'd want to commit to the production otherwise) be convinced.

Playbill's reporting it:

[HeyMrMusic]

Posted: 5/28/10 at 11:13am

YES. I would go see that in a heartbeat. I don't even care if it's Stritch playing Desiree.
