She looks beautiful and I can only imagine how she sounds in the role. I can't wait to see her!

Oops! In the last photo they mistakenly identify Alexander Gemignani by using his father's name Paul Gemignani.

Heh, and my mind immediately went to Paul Giamatti when I saw that. Gemignani, Giamatti...

Well, you can't see his face. Maybe Alex was running errands at photo time so they asked Paul to don the wig and costume and step in, seeing as there's obviously going to be some kind of family resemblance... of their backs... or something. ^_^

She looks beautiful!

And, as i've said several times, she could DEFINITELY pass for a young Ali Ewoldt's mother!

It looks like we get a shot of Celia in the ensemble as well (in the second to last picture over Lea's right shoulder.)

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.

GORGEOUS!

...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

When I saw the show back in November, one of the best parts was playing "Spot the lead playing another role"!

They should be fair and include a pic of Lea as a bullet boy. Hey, they did it for Lauren Kennedy!
