I am so excited for this concert!!! What a fantastic cast! I agree that Messing should be cast as Amy as well. Mix all those great people together and the result is going to be freaking amazing!

I think Donna McKechnie should reprise her role as Kathy. I know, huge age difference, but it could work.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

A Kathy that's almost twice Bobby's age?

[ACL2006]

Posted: 2/8/11 at 9:58pm

maybe this Bobby prefers the older women??

You'd think he wouldn't be so scared to marry her, though, since he's certain to outlive her by decades.

Donna unfortunately won't be able to do this, since she's already committed to play Dainty June in Streisand's "Gypsy."

Jessica Goldyn should play Kathy.

[Drunk Chita Rivera]

^^^ Agreed. That sounds brilliant.

I am a bad parent. At first, I was a good parent, getting my three daughters, who are all huge fans of both NPH and Company, tickets to this production for Christmas. They were thrilled. Now that the additional cast has been announced, Colbert in particular, I find myself hoping that one of my daughters has a conflict that will prevent her from attending, and I will just have to go in her place.

I'm SO sad I can't be in town for this.

"PLEEEEEEEAAAAASE theatre gods!"

Theatre gods nothing. It's all up to Patti LuPone. If she wants it recorded, it will get recorded.

"A Kathy that's almost twice Bobby's age?"

It didn't stop McKechnie doing "State Fair" on Broadway. She was 50 playing a woman of 25.

I really hope that they include the Tick Tock dance. It really is not productive to the show to cut it. Marta sings "Another Hundred People", April has the butterfly monologue and there really needs to be a solo moment for Kathy. When Tick Tock is cut, Kathy really becomes part of the scenery.

Just got an email from the Philharmonic and went on the site and got tickets. They seem to be going quickly.

What is the likelihood of this being filmed?

[ljay889]

I really hope they include "Tick Tock." Do we know if they are using the revised book?

Really amazing cast. Colbert is really a fantastic choice. I hope the plans to record this for a DVD/TV release come to fruition.

Anybody know when we will hear about the rest of the cast? Very excited for this concert!

Stephen Colbert... singing Sondheim.

This I gotta see.

[somethingwicked]

Per ATC, Christina Hendricks (of TV's Mad Men) will be playing April.

Perfect casting.

^ It's not confirmed, but the poster over on ATC is usually reliable.

If it follows the user's typical posting trend, expect an official announcement within the next day or two.

[givesmevoice]

Posted: 3/21/11 at 12:34pm

I would imagine there's an official announcement about the rest of the cast coming soon anyway.

[AC126748]

Posted: 3/21/11 at 12:35pm

I should hope so, considering the concert's in two weeks and we still only know a handful of cast members.

Is Debra Messing still the rumor for Amy?

[Joey.]

Posted: 3/21/11 at 1:36pm

Oy, if this is true? What a cast!
