Sutton Foster to lead SWEET CHARITY Off-Broadway Revival! — Page 4

Looks like Mary Richards in the Minneapolis Little Theater production of the show...

I love the show and the music, and I think she's a good fit for this. It's a great role for a singer-dancer-actress.

My only concern is re-imagining a vehicle that is so closely associated with Bob Fosse. It's like taking the Bennett out of "A Chorus Line" or taking Robbins out of "West Side Story."

Good luck.

I found it

The poster looks like an homage to Nights of Cabiria, the remarkable Fellini film the show was inspired by.

You're really, really stretching there. No need to defend such a terrible image. They just need to replace it with something relevant to the tone of the production and/or theatrical property. It's a very simple fix.

I'm not defending the image, just throwing out ideas for the meaning behind such a simple/basic poster.

I think he's confusing this popular logo which wasn't the poster artwork for the film:

I didn't mean that it was a recreation of the original poster. Just the black and white with the smile is similar to how the film ends. Sheesh, sorry people!

Nothing TotallyEffed said was rude or defensive. No need to be an ass. Or, as you'd say: GROW UP.

I apologize for the original contents of these messages. I am autistic and sometimes struggle with impulse control, so I had impulse reactions to the rudeness I witnessed. However, my reaction was still out of line. I will try to control myself better in the future.

In any case, the weird poster notwithstanding, I look forward to seeing this. I like Sutton Foster and I think she'll be perfect. I used to be obsessed with Neil Simon in school but couldn't afford to see any of his works, but I read all the scripts for a lot of his stuff, including Sweet Charity (also listened to the soundtrack), so I'd love to actually see it.

Yuck, Does she not know how bland she is? NOT a role for her. Just like Reno Sweeney, these "personality" roles were not made for cookie cutter generic BFA musical theater grads. They need individuals with original and charasmatic personalities, not a fine singer and dancer with average acting skills.

This is the worst casting news since, well, Jennifer Holliday coming into to ruin The Color Purple. Jennifer Hudson was the wrong way to go, so why go that way again with Holliday?
