Posted: 6/3/12 at 4:36amWow, Anthony Warlow! He could actually get me to pay big bucks to see Annie.

I've seen Warlow in the role (twice) and I think, while his voice is always marvellous, he isn't particularly interesting in the role. Although I guess it doesn't really show case his talent/is somewhat thankless. I'm curious to know what you guys will think of him. I guess in the Palace his voice will be the most important thing anyway...
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Posted: 6/3/12 at 7:08amToo bad they couldn't find an American for the part. After all, it is a quintessential American musical.

Posted: 6/3/12 at 8:53amWell done! After all the time we waited I was starting to have serious doubts that they were going to get this right, but so far so good- the two adult leads that have been announced are terrific talents, and what an achievement- producers have been trying to get Warlow over here for almost 20 years!

Posted: 6/3/12 at 9:02amLapine can sometimes be spotty with his casting (Into the Woods revival anyone!?!?!?), but so far so good with this one. Theater folk (including all the fans of course) have been hoping there would be a vehicle for Warlow and thought it might be the Dr. Zhivago thing. Having it be a revival shouldn't diminish his first Broadway show. I think it will set him on the path to do lots of singing appearances around town that should make us all very happy chappies.!

Posted: 6/3/12 at 10:07amI've been hoping for Michael Berresse as Rooster since the revival was officially announced.
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.

Posted: 6/3/12 at 10:15amWarlow is definitely attracting the attention of long-time theatre fans who were previously on the fence or "meh" about Annie, that's for sure.

Is the first one about Rooster? If not, does that mean Clarke Thorell?

Posted: 6/3/12 at 10:20amI thought the first one was referring to Warlow, who just played Warbucks in Australia.
