Playbill is reporting that John Cryer will also be part of the cast, presumably as Peter.

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.

Jon Cryer? What a troll.

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. -Kad

Anyone thinking Paul for Cryer?

"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." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Maybe Sheen could play Amy?

It's official! Except Jon Cryer is playing David. The rest of the cast has also been announced in this article. Can't wait to go!

Its a fabulous cast - very excited!

Best part is the casting of Chryssie Whitehead as Kathy - a fabulous dancer - which should mean we'll be seeing the inclusion of "Tick-Tock"

I think they got a really good mix of actors. Having someone like Chryssie Whitehead in a show with Stephen Colbert is excellent.

They simply have to record this. It's too rich a talent pool to not.

Great cast! I would think they would be able to raise money for taping fairly easily.

Just got my ticket for this! I cannot wait, this cast is ridiculously fantastic (Jon Cryer notwithstanding). I agree Katie Finneran as Amy is perfection, and Christina Hendricks is gonna nail Amy, not to mention the fact Anika Noni Rose singing "Another Hundred People" is going to be heaven on earth. The male cast headed by the great Neil Patrick Harris is quite great as well, this is gonna be such an event, how exciting!

It's less than three weeks away--would you think that by now, we would have some confirmation if it were to be filmed? Anyway, I'm still crossing my fingers and very excited to hopefully see this awesome cast!

With these recent additions (especially Katie Finneran as Amy) it is killing me that I won't be able to make it. I'll be another one holding out hope for a recording!

Now that Finneran has been cast as Amy, I am really mad that I'm in the city the following weekend instead. Bad luck!

ACL2006, you're forgetting Jim Walton as Larry.

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.
