BWW upcoming off Bway shows has Clear Day as being re-worked. Is it a misprint or has Daisy Gamble become David Gamble who was Melinda in a previous life.
Just wondering

It's a misprint. It's actually being reincarnated.
It is being reworked. Word is they auditioned Kate Baldwin. True story.
At Vassar I know they had Alysha Umphress do Melinda b/c Anika Noni Rose had personal matters to attend.
And Betsy Wolfe will be doing the reading that Roundabout is holding... and it says on her website that she (as Melinda), Steven Pasquale (I would presume as David) and T.R. Knight are participating in this reading.
I don't know how often her website is updated but that is all I know of the whole casting sitch.
With that casting, I'd presume Knight is "David" and Pasquale is "Warren, the perfect boyfriend" of David. That would almost make me want to see this.
This has been discussed before. Search.
this seemed more interesting when the jazz singer was black. added a little soul. now? eh, bland.
Word is the plan remains to cast Melinda with an African-American actress. That was still part of the breakdown when the Broadway production was announced.
That reading Betsy Wolfe did happened two years ago. The information on her website is incredibly outdated.
Although it's outdated, if they DID get T.R. Knight I would be there in a heartbeat! And add Kate Baldwin? I'm sure as sold!
Sondheim, I just dont get to frequent this web venue as much as many others. Thanks much for the search link.
