So funny, I thought this too! But then immediately told myself “oh wait she’s too old.”

I need to see a production of *something* where Plimpton plays Michaela Diamond’s mother. Or sister!

Confirmed
Man - Denis O’Hare
Woman - Tracie Bennett

Pretty Certain
Marianne - Jane Krakowski
Fritz - Chumisa Dornford-May
Claudia- Martha Plimton

Speculating
Leo - Rory Kinnear
Paul- Jesse Tyler Ferguson
Rafael - Paulo Szot
Bishop - Harry Hadden-Paton
Soldier - Richard Fleeshman
Colonel Martin- Cameron Johnson"

I would switch out Tyler Ferguson and Harry Hadden-Paton.

I love Sondheim's score. It's so playful. Ives doesn't understand Bunuel and the show is weirdly neoliberal and the biggest joke seems to be on leftists and not the bourgeoisie. Beautiful production though. Hopefully this gets filmed.

God, I hope this gets filmed! Id even take a new cast recording.

It's funny because Jane Krakowski was at one of the performances I had seen in New York, and I posted here that she'd be a great Marianne. She is really perfect for the role.

this is very likely to be filmed and presented as part of National Theatre Live

I can’t help but feel the filming would be part of the appeal for these actors. They basically secure their place in theatre history now being the face of Sondheim’s last show.

Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

What are the chances of this being filmed in the UK?

I would be shocked if they didn’t do an NTLive of it. If only it could be the original cast!

100%. There’s no chance this isn’t captured for broadcast through NT Live.

I’m trying to think of NTLive has ever broadcast a musical before.

Follies.

"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."

Oh yes, of course! Just too bad they did it with the first cast with Imelda.

NT Live also had "Fela!" and "Threepenny Opera." The latter starred Rory Kinnear, who will be in "Here We Are."

Though received poorly, they also broadcast Hex.

I didn’t look this up at all, but how often has the National produced a musical, period? Other than the ones mentioned, of course. I know we eventually got the proshot of their Oklahoma! on Broadway, but that’s obviously separate from NT Live.

The National Theatre has presented "The Beggar's Opera," "Oklahoma!," "Carousel," "Lady in the Dark," "Sweeney Todd," "Sunday in the Park with George," "Forum," and its greatest musical success, "Guys and Dolls," which premiered in 1982 and continued to play on and off for the next decade.

You just so badly wish he had gotten to write a song for Marianne and the Priest.

It's so missing.

If you pay attention to the names under the interviews, it clears up all the confusion regarding who is playing which character...

They actually say which dates it's being filmed online!

Also, they JUST CANCELLED THE FIRST PREVIEW
