REVEALED: Seyfried & Wood workshopping THELMA & LOUISE musical — Page 2

Didn't Amanda make a comment about Once Upon a One More Time at one point? While I assume Britney's name alone should be the selling point she could possibly be playing Cinderella? I have to imagine that show is being heavily revised pre-broadway so it would theoretically make sense she might be in some small workshops testing out revisions?

If it were a show opening this season I am sure her name would already be plastered on the marquee by now, as while she is no Hugh Jackman, her name will definitely help sell tickets. But for her to miss the Globes because she's working on it and not being to say what it is I have to assume its a show that's in the workshop or heavily revised stages of development with planned staging sometime in the not too distant future. They fact that we still don't have an announcement about what it is today, despite the free publicity it would get makes me think its something in much earlier stages of development though.

I know 'Once Upon a One More Time' is looking for big names to attach since most of the cast from the DC tryout was let go last year so who knows? maybe Amanda will play Cinderella. if true then I think It could be amazing, I already got my tickets for June

This could be a stretch, but Brittney Johnson ends her run as Glinda on February 12. Could this be Amanda’s chance to play Glinda, even if it were a limited engagement and even though it’s a star/stunt cast?

Wicked doesn't really have to do big stunt casts yet (but will it ever?), and I don't think the Broadway company of Once Upon a One More Time will be much different than the DC run.

At this point in time, whatever Seyfried is working on is anybody's guess.

It just seems like the bigger-name "stunt casts" were earlier in the run, when some may still have questioned its long, long life. Grey was an original cast member, and by no means is Johnson considered a stunt cast.

Gray actually replaced Robert Morse (the original Wizard in the tryout). Rumour was Morse was fired, and Gray brought in as a bigger name (ie. Oscar winner). So yes a stunt.

Johnson is a stunt, in another way...

Is Kyle Selig involved? He was also in a secret reading

Oy, back to the "stunt casting" debate.

Casting with considerations to marketability and box office doesn't make it stunt casting. Only if that is counter to who might have been cast anyway.

Isaac Mizrahi in Chicago is stunt casting; Hugh Jackman in Music Man is not.

Silly? A total unknown being a "stunt" because she's... the first person of color to play a role? It sounds much uglier than silly.

I know Amanda has wanted to do stage stuff for a long time but struggled with stage fright so I'm happy she's overcome that. Still, Thelma & Louise? I can hear the bombs now, and they're being thrown from the audience.



(Also I don't know why you all continue to entertain Tag's nonsense. I learned to ignore him when his response to Sheryl Lee Ralph talking about Bennett slapping her was to call her ungrateful)

Neko Case doing the score has my interest though
