I'd rather sit through a week of DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN."

Well, I changed my mind.  Bought tickets today at the box office.

Seeing as Hello, Dolly! is now finishing up in March, any chance Carolee goes back into this?

Can I ask... why the sudden 180° mood swing?

Probably because The Devil Wears Prada Chicago tryout is delayed until 2021. I had funds available to check out something else.

I still have low expectations for OUAOMT.  

Yikes. Even the abbreviation is unexciting.

Still waiting on a cast announcement for this. Intrigued by the idea of Carolee returning!

Thrilled that it's a relatively diverse cast.  Welcome back to Broadway Allie Trimm! And also intrigued to see Briga's singing skills.

Are tickets on sale yet for the Broadway run??? Like....I never go into a show thinking it will be good or bad, so I definitely want to give this a try!

I don't think they officially announced a Broadway run or a theatre; everything has been speculated.

I wonder what happened to Laura Dreyfuss. She was in the workshop no? I remember seeing her in an Instagram post

That’s actually a very exciting and talented cast. I have tickets for Chicago already, but I’m more excited now. Simon Callow is fascinating me here.

Maybe she wants to focus on her music. She did just release a single, and ever since leaving DEH she's done more music on her own than productions (I think. I don't really follow her(.

It’s going to the Marquis late this year

Are we sure Simon Callow isn't a voiceover, like Judi Dench was for Into the Woods?

That said, very exited for Emily and Justin,and SUPER excited for Briga, who was fantastic in that "Great News" TV series.

I didn't even think of that.  Now I feel a bit deflated.  For nearly 45 minutes, I had my heart set on seeing Simon Callow in a Britney Spears fairytale princess musical.

I love all the diversity among the female leads too

Laura has also been busy filming the second season of the Politician.

A ton of people were involved with this as some point, as well as Laura, and aren’t moving on with it. Notable examples are Carolee and Bonnie.

I might be the only one most excited to see the bromance of Ryan Steele and Stephen bower on stage.
