SHE LOVES ME: Roundabout's 2015 B'way Revival

Any thoughts on casting for the show and who'd join Laura Benanti and Josh Radnor?

Roundabout's 2011 benefit concert of the show featured this cast: Gavin Creel as “Steven Kodaly”, Jane Krakowski as “Ilona Ritter”, Kelli O’Hara as “Amalia Balas”, Josh Radnor as “Georg”, Peter Bartlett as “Headwaiter”, Michael McGrath as “Ladislav Sipos”, Rory O’Malley as “Arpad Laszlo” and Victor Garber as “Mr. Maraczek”.

Also, I couldn't find the thread announcing Laura/Josh, but thoughts on that casting? I don't know the show too well but I hope I get to see this!

There's a whole Tumblr page devoted to the show and they have a few audio clips from the Roundabout concert; including Kelli singing "Vanilla Ice Cream", Jane (I'm not sure what she sang), and Josh singing "She Loves Me." I think by the time the revival begins rehearsal, they would have finished filming the second season of Kimmy -- I assume, then the second season would be on Netflix early in January/February.

I had no idea that announcement was coming!!!! How convenient!

This is very exciting - I hope to attend the first preview!

OMG. This is going to be a spectacular production!

Would love to see Christina Hendricks as Ilona. She'd be brilliant and a huge coup for the production.

Radnor was great in the concert!

OH, missed the link above. Jane and Gavin reprising their Ilona and Kodaly from the concert - fantastic! And Peter Bartlett, who was astonishingly funny as the Headwaiter! This is all great!

This just got real. I expect this will be a smash. So many people involved were in the benefit concert, which was EXCELLENT. The only cast member they haven't announced is the person who will be playing Ladislav. Michael McGrath was excellent in the concert, and given his connection with Scott Ellis from On The Twentieth, I wouldn't be surprised if he signed on as well. But he also may have something else in the works (Honeymooners, etc.).

All I can really say is that I cannot be more excited for this production.

Seeing Hamilton is one thing and I am excited to see the fuss behind it, but for me personally, this revival has become thing I am most excited about seeing this season!

Such a great cast and now that they have Jane Krakowski coming in....I am beyond ecstatic!!

She Loves Me is the closest thing out there to being "the perfect musical" in my eyes.

Super casting.

I've always loved this show, but now I'm really excited for this revival.

Well, this just launched into "must see" territory for me.

And Krakowski and Creel can certainly play younger, as evidenced by the fact that he's currently playing a teenager.

Man, this is definitely a must see for me...what a cast!!
