It is not a fake Facebook that was quoted here. She has two accounts - one primarily for fans and one for relative personal use.

Leigh Ann is indeed very excited for Ragtime transfer, but her status meant nothing further. Neither her involvement in Ragtime, nor her involvement in Little Night Music is official. She will post as soon as there is any concrete news or I will post here as soon as she lets me know.

According to ATC, Robert Petkoff (most recently seen in HAPPINESS) has been cast as Tateh.

Perfect casting, in my opinion.

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.

Wonder when the cast will be officially announced?

For those of you who didn't get a chance to see the Kennedy Center Production last spring, here's a taste should all speculation about casting be true. This is Christiane Noll singing "Back to Before" at a recent seminar.

She was one of the highlights of the entire production. I'm thrilled that she's continuing with the production!

I was never a huge fan of Noll before seeing the show in D.C., but she absolutely blew me away.

I found her Mother to be the heart and soul of this production. She was truly stunning and could very well be in primary contention for the Tony for Lead Actress in a Musical.

This is definitely the best work of her career.

somethingwicked, I could not agree more...

Going into see the D.C. production, I expected the usual Noll performance; solid and passable. Well, it was a performance that went above and beyond my expectations. Noll gave the role of Mother both warmth and bite, not to mention glorious vocals. Definitely the finest work of her career.

I was a huge Noll fan before seeing her multiple times in the Kennedy Center production. However, her performance as Mother exceeds everything she has done previously.

Omigosh. I may actually be able to see this if it runs through next spring/summer! I would love to see it, because I hear its amazing. Which reminds me that I need to get the OBCR.

Yaaaay!
