This is disappointing.
I wouldn't mind seeing Brian D'Arcy James at all, though. He's the best thing about Lippa's Wild Party. (Yes, better than Julia. Ok, maybe tied.)

I'm probably alone in this - but what about Christian Campbell as Freddy?
Haha.

Hmmm, that's not terrible. I could actually see that, BSo.
What about Christopher J. Hanke?

Campbell could kick Hanke's ass from here to (eh, I'll say it again) Minsk.
But, I was listening to Mary Jane from Reefer Madness and at the end of the song he sounds like he could be singing Great Big Stuff.

Posted: 5/6/06 at 2:59amI have seen Norbert 10 times in DRS. He has done several things different every single show. I thoroughly believe that no performance of DRS is ever the same.

I heard a rumor that Norbert will do a limited engagement in L.A. leg of the tour. That makes sense as he can audition for TV/film in L.A..
Lawrence role goes to... Keith Carradine. (1991 Tony nominee for Will Roger's Follies)

Posted: 5/15/06 at 2:50amHe might have been the right age for the part right around the time Nashville was made.

In the original film, "Bedtime Story", Lawrence was played by David Niven and he was 54 at the time. Keith is 57 so I don't think he is too old for the part.

Posted: 5/15/06 at 3:48amI want Mark Ruffalo or Paul Rudd to do it! I think they would be wonderful.
