My god, this is ridiculously exciting. But using the name of the original films' director as the title of the musical is a little odd, no?

Marc Kudisch is doing Sondheim's new musical? I think this is basically all I've ever wanted and asked for.

Girl calm down he only did the reading. He may not even be in the finished production. LOL

Of course he'll be in it. How could someone NOT want him in it?

I'm happy that Laura Benanti is pregnant and all, but I do really wish that she had gotten the opportunity to originate a Sondheim role.  I also agree that Marc Kudisch is fantastic.

Buñuel. If I can do diacritical marks, it seems hard to believe Riedel can't. 

Half a musical. Is that like half pregnant? or horseshoes?

She's due in January so it's possible, but I doubt she'd want to jump into work, even something like this, mere weeks after giving birth/

^Yeah that's what I mean.  She'll probably take at least a year off to settle in.
