This should be... interesting.
Gavin Creel for Billy, please.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Posted: 6/21/10 at 12:08amHopefully Marshall will redeem herself from the dreadful Grease. Although who are we kidding. This is Roundabout.

I am really excited but feel like I shouldn't get my hopes up.
But I'm still going to be excited anyways! I'm assuming this will go into the Sondheim?

Posted: 6/21/10 at 12:15amI can't bring myself to get excited about anything that comes from Roundabout anymore due to their recent track record. Plus Sutton Foster does nothing for me, but that's another matter entirely.

Sutton Foster has the sex appeal of a wet noodle.
This is actually a role that could use a Hollywood star.
Cody would actually make a terrific Bonnie/Erma/Whatever-the-Hell she's called in this version.
Marshall's involvement scares me.

Posted: 6/21/10 at 12:26amI smell another Sutton Foster Tony nomination--it happens everytime she is in a show, regardless of how well she performs.

Posted: 6/21/10 at 12:40amOoops sorry about that. As soon as I posted, I thought maybe there was a performance she wasn't nominated for.

I loved The Pajama Game, so I'm willing to give this the benefit of the doubt.
Don't know if it'd play the Stephen Sondheim or Studio 54. I can't believe the Pee-Wee producers really intend to run that show for such a ridiculously short amount of time.
At least we know there's no chance of them putting it into the American Airlines.

Posted: 6/21/10 at 1:00amMaybe they have another show planned for The Sondheim. Like-GASP-a Sondheim show. Anything Goes would work well in Studio 54.

I can't stand Studio 54.
When will Roundabout announce their full season?

The design team excites me, but Kathleen Marshall has a way of making every show look like it came to Broadway by way of one of those big C.L.O. companies that crank out 6 or 8 musicals every summer: workmanlike, rarely original or exciting.
The casting is key. I like Anything Goes, but the book is weak and the jokes are hoary. You need top-notch comedians who are much funnier than the material they are working with. That goes double for the romantic leads. No matter how beautiful their songs are, the Hope and Billy scenes can slow the show to a crawl if the actors can't do more than gaze at each other and sing prettily.

Posted: 6/21/10 at 1:06amI am really excited for this. I love "Anything Goes" and I cannot wait to see how Sutton plays Reno. Patti Lupone played the role so brilliantly in the last revival so she has tough act to follow.

Posted: 6/21/10 at 1:11amI thought the rumor was that the revival of Merrily was going to open the Sondheim
<------ Me and my friends with patti Lupone at my friends afterparty for her concert with audra mcdonald during the summer of 2007.

So excited for this! Sutton Foster has one of the best voices on broadway but what happened to all the concerts she has planned for 2011. Won't belting it on broadway kind of kill the ability to travel to the fore-mention concerts? or will she pull another "I'll preform when i feel like it" like she did in Shrek?
Still im excited to see her in it...
