Posted: 2/7/10 at 8:56pmnope, only Dionne & Hud have to be black. And Bryce isn't leaving the show, so the Jason Wooten as Woof is wrong. Could he(Wooten) be playing Claude??

I would like to believe that Wooten as Woof is wrong, so that I can believe that A. Young as Berger is wrong.
Diana would be OK....but I think she would make a great Jeanie.

Since when is this girl a legitimate source? For all you know, she could have just seen it here and re-posted. Not say it's not true, I have no idea, but you post it like it's a press release and at all reputable.

I am not saying that is an official press release. She actually posted this on twitter about 2 weeks ago. She is also the one that confirmed Mandy/Wicked and Janet/Nina weeks before it was even mentioned on here. From reading her posts from the past--twitter and on the blog---she does seem to have some sort of inside info from several shows.

I'll withhold judgment for now on Ace Young. It seems each time one of the people from American Idol is announced for a show there is a lot of initial resistance but they turn out alright in their roles.
I'll be curious to see which role Diana gets. If she's Sheila then they hired her for her voice, knowing she'll knock "Easy to be Hard" and "Good Morning Starshine" out of the park. If she's Jeanie then they saw her as Penny and Sarah and want to utilize her comedic gifts. If I have my choice I'd like to see her as Sheila. It would be a shame to waste that voice.

If Diana doen't play Sheila, than I agree with NPHCreel that Diana's voice will be wasted. "Easy to be Hard" is a perfect song for Diana. As Sheila, I think Diana will suprise us with her acting as she suprised us with her comedic prowess as Penny.
I'm just hoping that Ace's voice has gotten better over the years but at least he is eye candy.

I feel like they only cast him because he has Berger hair and looks good (admittedly, damn good) with his shirt off. A Broadway-worthy talent he is not.
He cut it all off when he did Grease. I saw a recent picture of him from the Grease tour (he's Danny) and it doesn't appear he has let it grow back.

Ace has already done Broadway and I saw him. He has an okay voice with a tendency to rush through his lines

"Wait doesn't Sheila have to be black?"
This confuses me since neither Caissie Levy or Jackie Burns are black.
"I think Diana will suprise us with her acting as she suprised us with her comedic prowess as Penny."
She was very comedic in Toxic too and yes her voice would be wasted on Jeanie.
Don't believe everything that you hear! Only the peeps involved know the truth!

I do not think it matters the Race of Sheila, an earlier post mentioned only Hud and Dionne have to be black.
Going to miss the original cast, hope the new cast brings it.
By the way, mentioned in another post, Hair is on TDF for Wed's Mat, if feel you like braving the snow storm to catch it.

Posted: 2/8/10 at 10:09pmI'll agree and say Jackie Burns needs to be Sheila. Diana can play Jeanie or Crissy. Ace Young shouldn't be cast as Berger and Paris Remillard should be the new Claude(as well as Jeanette as the new Dionne).
