Tickets will go on sale at the end of the month and they will range from $50-$5000, so your level of support will make a big difference as to where you sit and whether or not you'd like to make it to the after party VIP section.
I'm really glad you're excited...more news will follow in the coming weeks...including the rest of the casting.

While I do LOOOOOVE me some JTags, I think Cheyenne would make an amazing Pippin. I almost want to say I hope it's NOT one of them, just because I can't go, but I'll try not to be TOO selfish and say that would be amazing for everyone who CAN go
and for whoever ends up as Pippin.
So, good luck Pippin, even though I'll have to miss. 
EDIT: NYN, please come and verify Cheyenne's amazing-ness.

Ooooooooooh, maybe Michael Arden as Pippin? Unfortunately, we know he's free. That could be interesting.
Jamie...I know you're online...
EDIT: Plus, if Michael Arden does Pippin, we know it'll make MoG's LIFE!

Posted: 10/7/04 at 3:18pmIm very upset Raul will not be a part of this, however Billy Porter and Darius de Haas will be great. I would love to see Michael Arden as Pippin. Updated On: 10/7/04 at 03:18 PM

Hey there,
I am incredibly sorry that the press release that went out was incorrect. Raul is a fantastic performer as you all know and when he approached me about performing in the concert, I couldn't have been more thrilled. I found out about the discrepancy at the same time you all did when Raul's manager corrected the Playbill.com and BroadwayWorld.com editors. It was fairly recently, apparently that Raul booked the film and Kate Shindle and I weren't informed of his withdrawal until today. Again...I am very sorry about this and I hope to one day see Raul play this role.
More casting will be announced in the coming weeks! And I think you'll be happy with it!
Love, Jamie

"What film? C'est Rent?"
Just to let you know, Raul is not officially connected to the RENT movie.

hmm. A movie? *ponders*
This could be interesting, I guess. Wonder what...

I think Ben Vereen should open up the show with Magic To Do. The song isn't that difficult, and it would be amazing to have him back. I am thrilled about de Haas and Porter, though.
My Dream Cast:
Pippin: Gavin Creel/Barrett Foa
Charlemagne: Tom Wopat?
Fastrada: Bebe Neuwirth/Karen Ziemba?
Catherine: Jessica Grove?
Berthe: Andrea Martin

Posted: 10/7/04 at 9:42pmas great as it would have been to see Raul onstage for my first time since the Evita tour, I'll take the high-flying tenors of Billy and Darius anyday! that's a powerhouse set of Pippins!
