"The only way I could be more excited is if they cast Dr. Zizmor as Billy Flynn."

Hahaha! Years ago, I used to have a home number that must have been similar to his office phone. I used to get SO many calls that were meant for him. Highly annoying, haha.

Samantha Barks as Sally Bowles-there's an idea I could get behind.

I wonder if they'd consider her for the revival of Cabaret here in NY.

dreaming, she has play Sally Bowles already. If Samantha Barks manages to pick up another film while she's in LA, her being in Cabaret may not be that far fetched at all, since they seem to be looking for a name.

Wishing-I was commenting on someone's previous post saying she'd played the role. Since Roundabout is planning a revival, I said it would be a great fit.

Yesterday on the Hollywood Bowls facebook page; right under the casting announcement.. there was comment after comment criticizing the casting. There must have been over 1000 comments.. mostly negative. I guess the administrator must have gone in today and deleted them all. All that is left is now is the good comments. Nothing else to add to that..except I find it all interesting.

I like my Roxie's and Velma's in their 40's.

Vanessa Williams would be the perfect Velma.

Lucy Lawless has just been casted as Matron Mama Morton.
Xena: Warrior Matron

That's mentioned in the original article linked in the first post.

Also, it's "cast," not "casted."

Sorry! I didn't see that in the initial posting.

I always forget that casted isn't a word.

According to Lucy Lawless' article, she's set to play "Velma" in NZ. That would be awesome.

Am I the only one who isn't happy with Sam Barks as Velma? Having seen her live, I'm having serious doubts about her acting in the role, seeing as she's only ever come across as very shallow on stage to me.
