I think I will wait until the first reports come out... inspired by two Buñuel films doesn't inspire confidence.

Do you guys think that the cast will be announced before the presale begins? As much as I wanna see this because it’s Sondheims last show I am dying to hear the cast

I would hope for that! Regardless of whether it’s maybe the day before the presale or the general on sale. OR can they announce it on the day of the general on sale so those of us who joined the membership can get our takes in advance before everyone else hops on the bandwagon last minute? lol.

Interestingly their communication is “The production is bound to be a hit, and we’re expecting to see incredible demand for tickets.”. Of course they’d say that. But I have a feeling it’ll come true.
"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

Previews start Sept 10th so assuming rehearsals will start early August

They’re really getting down to the wire with this. Previews are less than two months away.

I can't believe the Shed has announced so little information thus far.

And they will sell every single ticket without any info coming out if they so choose.

The tone of Patti's interview would suggest it's not likely to be her in HERE WE ARE (even though she wants to work downtown), at least based on some of the BWW quotes (haven't listened yet). Would be lovely if they can get someone like Donna Murphy in the Bernadette part. That said, I'm happy for them not to announce any cast if it means less initial demand and that the only people snapping up the first seats the diehard Sondheim fans that are happy for anyone to read his work.

i wish they would at least publish a performance schedule so people coming from out of town can figure out their options before tickets go on sale.

Hoping for some semblance of information this week on the show. I didn't realize that Joe Mantello is directing - I think he is a genius. Surprising that NO ONE here has any scoop on cast, on-sale, etc....the website still says the show is opening in September. I agree that this will be a hot ticket but 8 weeks out and no word on casting OR ticket sales....

They did announce ticket sales, here’s the info: https://theshed.org/program/301-here-we-are
No cast or dates announced yet. No word on ticket pricing either.

FINALLY! Also, HOLY HELL! This for sure is gonna sell out fast!
The idea is to work and to experiment. Some things will be creatively successful, some things will succeed at the box office, and some things will only - which is the biggest only - teach you things that see the future. And they're probably as valuable as any of your successes. -Harold Prince

So that throws some cold water in the rumors that Michaela Diamond is being pursued for Cabaret, especially if they see a possibility of transferring.

That is a very solid cast.
I'm guessing Tracie Bennett & David Hyde Pierce are the Peters/Lane roles?

Amber Gray in a Sondheim musical - there IS justice in the world!!! Simply divine. And I was nervous about getting tickets before. Oy vey.

God, this is a good cast! Wow.
though not a surprise, it’s a relief to see Tunick doing the orchestrations, and Alex Gemignani is the perfect MD.
