Someone asked on Lincoln Center Theatre's facebook page when they'd be announcing the cast and whoever runs the page responded "Soon hopefully!! We are so close!" (I think one hold-up might be that if Patti LuPone is doing the show, they're trying to work around her concert schedule)
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.
