Jordan Catalano said: "Funny, my first thought was Plimpton in the Micaela Diamond role which, I know was a lot younger but just seemed more fitting."

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.
