Pajama Game Revival is Definite!

Yes! I love this show. I think it will be amazing. It's official. Kathleen Marshall will make her directorial debut with this revival. Let's start casting, shall we? For Sid- Brent Barrett did it once. I think he would be amazing, but I think David Elder could do a great job as well. For Babe- I would say...Jane Krakowski! It's too perfect! Brent and Jane- Sid and Babe!

I've played Hines twice.... I think I should be cast as him in the revival...though I'm 16. Hehe. Those jokes are so bad you NEED someone with perfect comedic timing....I say Lewis J. Stadlen. He could do wonders to the role. The whole Groucho Marx thing... For Gladys... the one who played Ado Annie in the recent Oklahoma revival (if she can dance).

For Sid, I think Patrick Wilson could do the part better than Brent Barret. He can belt too, but has a lighter feel on stage (a great presence, but he is lighter...it's hard to explain but you know what I mean). Babe is difficult. I don't know.

Prez: I say Roger Bart, but I could be wrong. Hasler has to be Ernie Sabella. Mabel: A sweet old lady...they'll find someone.

Rebecca Luker has been offered a role.

I just heard from TSMrW. He's already in London preparing for the POTO film. He won't be available for any stage work for quite some time. Alas!

Is this a good show? What is about?

---

THE PAJAMA GAME is about pajamas.

Brent has a much stronger voice then Patrick Wilson.
Patrick is good but Barrett has a voice from the Gods.
He was breathtaking in Encore's!

Yes that would be easy, but I like to do it the hard way!! :) And never call me hun again. Thanks!!

Like I said, I have never seen this so I am not sure of the characters.

Don't call me sweetie! Don't talk to me!

Did I read a posting above in which Corine ventured to say something unflattering about TSMrW???????? How dare she! I'm not the sort of gentleman who approves of physically abusing women but when it comes to Corine, I can't seem to forget Sir Noel Coward's famous line in PRIVATE LIVES: "Some women should be struck regularly--like gongs."

Furthermore, Corine, when you are making comparisons you should use the correct word. It's "than", not "then". Someone with such pathetic writing skills should not deem herself worthy to be a columnist.

Have a mediocre day.

Amy Archer, you have suddenly become one of my favorite people.

TSMrW will not be able to participate in this production for some time. As I stated earlier, he's already begun rehearsing the POTO movie and it's a project that will probably go on for many months.

Barrett was wonderful with his material in "On a Clear Day" and I like him in "Chicago". You know what you get with him, and he delivers. But when Wilson came out with that pure, sweet tenor in Encores' "Tenderloin," I was floored. I had thought of him more as a pop/rock guy after "Bright Lights, Big City," and I was shocked to hear the quality of Wilson's 'legit' voice. Contrasting them further, Barrett could certainly sing Curly's songs in "Oklahoma!" but would he have worked as Jerry in "The Full Monty"? Wilson is a very versatile performer, and I'm anxious to see him do more.
