When this was originally announced, weren't there plans to record it and air it on tv? I haven't seen any mention of that in subsequent press releases, so I wonder if I imagined that.
That said, great cast.

Could there be any significance to Debra Messing being a tag in the Times article?

I know she has the new NBC pilot about a musical coming, but could she possibly be a part of this concert?

Am I a bad person for being more excited by this than I am for FOLLIES?
Raul should have had this cast.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Posted: 2/8/11 at 4:53pmI doubt it. Most shows finish up work for the season between February and March.

Posted: 2/8/11 at 4:53pmI thought of Messing for Amy, too. But I think she'd be a great Amy as well.
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

ZOMG "Inspired" is certainly the word, all around. This is wonderful. I can't wait to see what else is in store.

Wow, "The Little Things You Do Together," with Colbert and Plimpton coming at each other in the crazy Karate scene while LuPone sings it?
And "Another Hundred People" belted to the rafters by Anika Noni Rose?
I'm there. And they had better record this for TV!

Couldn't agree more, Besty!
Wow, Anika Noni Rose as Martha sounds so insanely fantastic! I agree that Messing would make a pretty hilarious Amy, we'll see if she's involved at all.
I love this cast, how I wish I could see this.

Posted: 2/8/11 at 6:15pmI just saw Raul's version on netflix this past weekend. I love NPH and I do hope they film this for TV. I wonder who will play Amy as I'm Not Getting Married Today is an extremely difficult song to pull off. Still, a very interesting cast indeed!

"Did Plimpton's sitcom get the ax?"
No, Raising Hope has been renewed for a second season. Which, honestly, surprised me. I couldn't bear the show. I love her character on The Good Wife, though.

Posted: 2/8/11 at 6:57pmI'm really excited about this cast. Martha Plimpton has so many projects going on! Raising Hope, The Good Wife, How to make it in America, and now this. Good for her... Im definitely a fan.

Posted: 2/8/11 at 7:39pmI'm more excited for Colbert than anyone else in the cast. Won't even lie about that.

Posted: 2/8/11 at 7:59pmTo anybody and everybody who has seen a show in this theatre, what are the second and third tier seats like (both regular and box)?

Great cast. I flipped when I saw the announcement today, I had no idea NPH was attached already. I seriously cannot wait to see this!
I bought my ticket for the thrid tier side near the middle. I figured it will be a bit partial but have better overall lines than other spots at the same price. (I hope.)
I stand corrected, you are as vapid as they say.
