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!

Posted: 2/8/11 at 9:52pmI think Donna McKechnie should reprise her role as Kathy. I know, huge age difference, but it could work.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Posted: 2/8/11 at 10:01pmYou'd think he wouldn't be so scared to marry her, though, since he's certain to outlive her by decades.

Posted: 2/8/11 at 10:05pmDonna unfortunately won't be able to do this, since she's already committed to play Dainty June in Streisand's "Gypsy."

Posted: 2/9/11 at 7:14am^^^ Agreed. That sounds brilliant.

Posted: 2/9/11 at 7:59amI 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.

Theatre gods nothing. It's all up to Patti LuPone. If she wants it recorded, it will get recorded.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

"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.

Posted: 2/9/11 at 3:17pmJust got an email from the Philharmonic and went on the site and got tickets. They seem to be going quickly.

Posted: 2/9/11 at 3:50pmWhat is the likelihood of this being filmed?

Posted: 2/9/11 at 4:33pmI really hope they include "Tick Tock." Do we know if they are using the revised book?
#41Patti LuPone, Stephen Colbert, Anika Noni Rose & Martha Plimpton Join Neil Patrick Harris in COMPANY
Posted: 2/9/11 at 4:35pmReally amazing cast. Colbert is really a fantastic choice. I hope the plans to record this for a DVD/TV release come to fruition.

Per ATC, Christina Hendricks (of TV's Mad Men) will be playing April.
Perfect casting.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Posted: 3/21/11 at 12:34pmI would imagine there's an official announcement about the rest of the cast coming soon anyway.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

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?
