I do too! And I hope the female star is as good as he says she is.

Gina Gershon?

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

Sweet! Sean Hayes is enough reason for me to see it, but I'm still excited to learn who the female star will be.

I learned today that the female star is Kristin Chenoweth.

The woman who's slated to star (unless negotiations turn terribly South) has been mentioned in the thread... I personally think she and Sean Hayes will be perfection together.

OMG, I knew Christine Baranski was going to get the role!

Anyone else think they'd be better off waiting until the Summer or Fall to open this? There's already tough competition for the best musical revival Tony award(Ragtime, La Cage, ..Night Music, Finian's).

I'm probably one of the few in the world who actually likes Scarlett Johanssen and would go just to see her in this (and yes, I know it won't be her). And I would love to be excited about Sean Hayes, but then I try to imagine him singing "Basketball" and I just don't see it. I just hope we're not in for another Bye Bye Birdie.

Gershon is way too old for the role as is Chenoweth. She's certainly older than Hayes.

She has been mentioned in this thread, eh? Hmm... I'd be most excited for Anne Hathaway. I wouldn't mind Scarlett or Zooey Deschanel either. I'd be excited about everyone mentioned in this thread actually... well except for Katie Holmes (I hope that comment was a joke, lol). I don't like Jessica Biel either, but she could surprise me. I'm still rooting for Anne though even though it's much less likely since she seems to be too busy.

she has her roots strongly in theater, but also has a fair amount of film/television work to her name as well

She does have a fair amount of television work to her name, but I she's still definitely a theater name first and foremost.

I am a huge fan of Chenoweth, thought she gave a comic tour-de-force in THE APPLE TREE, but the more I think about her in the part, the less I'm convinced she's completely right for it.
Someone like Anika Noni Rose or Anne Hathaway would be more appropriate, IMO.

I'm not gonna lie, I think that Kristin Chenoweth is capable of doing pretty much everything, so I would be thrilled if she is in this. Also, I don't know the role that well, but I can definitely hear her singing the score quite well.

Love Is Company, if I'm not mistaken, was the same person who told us that Raul Esparza and Kate Winslet were in the final steps of signing up for A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC.

So I wouldn't be so sure to jump to conclusions about casting just because he/she says so. Nothing personal, Love Is Company.

I personally hope it's not Cheno. I think she's incredibly talented but a) she's getting on my nerves lately (ha) and b) I don't think she's right for this role. I hope it's Anne Hathaway although I highly doubt it is.

I would love it if it is Kristin! She is my favorite actress out of everyone mentioned, I just didn't believe it because she does seem too old. Oh well, she looks amazing and she definitely could handle the role. I'm not getting my hopes up until it's official. For now I'll just be excited about Sean Hayes and the show itself.

Just my 2 cents....but, as far as I know, Chenoweth doesn't want to do Promises although her 'people' are trying to convince her to do it. She obviously could name the part she wants (on broadway) and I've no doubt she'll be back on television again soon. We'll be getting plenty of K.C. in some way or another very soon. (whether we want it or not)

Well I'm for one am glad Chenoweth is not interested in playing "Fran Kubelik" as she is ALL WRONG for the part. So please tell her "people" whoever they may be to stop wasting their time and hers in trying to convince her into taking a part she is not suited for. Thank you and have a nice day.
