Eh. Why do they bother? Everyone knows the film version is so much better than the stage version. :: SHRUGS ::

Christy Carlson Romano- Liesl
Isn't she a good ten years too old for the role?
Why not cast somebody age appropriate like Allie Trimm?

I assume Kristin Chenoweth is playing Gretyl?
Trimm's dance in Birdie was less than spectacular. I doubt she could handle Liesl's big dance.

Just seeing Tony Danza's name linked to this rumor is funny.

Is this Roundabout? The Danza casting reaks of them or The Weisslers.

If they were any smart they would get Rachel York for the Baroness. She completely stole the show when she played the role a few years ago at the Hollywood Bowl. She was absolutely brilliant. Jeffrey Tambor was also quite good as Max and with his career going nowhere right now I wouldn't be suprised if he would agree to do a Broadway run.

This sounds completely and utterly made up. I don't believe a word of it.
It sounds like a 12 year-old boy in Nebraska's fantasy.

I do hope there is a Sound of Music revival sometime soon. Just not with this cast.

I would love to hear Debra Monk singing the Mother Abbess.

When I saw the title of the thread I said "OK, as long as they don't say Sutton Foster is playing Maria."
Unless they do a Lesbian version with Lupon playing Georg.

I think the only way that the show would come back is if the ALW/British production was to come with a reality show finding Maria.

I figured you didn't have inside info when I looked at your other posts and saw that you asked the plot of Sondheim on Sondheim.

It has been rumored that the Tony Award winning Sutton Foster will be playing Maria Von Trapp in a new up and coming revival of Rodgers & Hammersteins "The Sound Of Music".
It took me about halfway through that sentence to know this was all bullsh*t.
Even the comments sound stilted and phony.

I, too, don't care whether or not this happens, but I would like to comment on the piece. I saw the OBC in 1960. Going in, I wasn't looking forward to it(the tickets were given to me). But I have to say that I enjoyed THE SOUND OF MUSIC very much. As a musical, it is put together very well. The show works. The cast was perfect: Mary Martin as Maria, Theodore Bikel as the Captain, Gloria Marlowe and Kurt Kazner as the second leads, and a stunning Patricia Neway, with a great voice, as the Mother Superior. The kids were good, also. The only downer for me was the song "Doe, a Deer, a Female Deer"--it is maybe the most obnoxious show tune ever written, and this from the pen of Oscar Hammerstein.
As for comparing it to the Julie Andrews movie, which co-star Christopher Plummer named "The Sound of Mucous", I can't. I am probably the only person on the planet who has never seen the movie. And I don't plan on seeing the movie because Julie Andrews gives me a pain, except for her work in MY FAIR LADY which I saw in 1957.
End of praise for the Broadway production and rant for the movie.

Debora Monk? Really?

The very good director Susan Schulman directed the last revival, which begs the question: What the hell happened to her?
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

^ A lot of stuff in Canada, mainly shows for the Stratford Festival, and also she's heading up the graduate directing program at Penn State.
