Sutton Foster to star in Roundabout's Anything Goes? — Page 3

Brooks A. as Moonface
Lord Evelyn has to be a tad younger than Tim Cury,
Sieber?
Burstein?

Brooks A. as Moonface

No. Moonface can't be an over-the-top gay man. And that's all Ashmankas can play.

Sutton Foster as Reno Sweeney? Please. Bad casting. Too bad Sherie went in another direction...she would have been wonderful!

I'd love to see Sara Ramirez as Reno. Her "Blow Gabriel, Blow" would be ridiculous.

I think Walter Bobbie would make an amazing Moonface!

Matthew Morrison is a good choice for Billy, how about Max von Essen or Jason Daniely? Is Daniely too old opposite Foster? Or, pair up Sutton and Gavin Creel again... Steven Pasquale would be perfection though.

Resorting to rivivals?

Is it really a stigma?

Kristin Chenoweth, Patti LuPone, Marin Mazzie, Angela Landsbury (and many more) bounced back and forth between rivivals, and originals and even off-broadway, regionals, & national tours during their careers and didn't hurt their image.

If every hot theatre actor today steered clear of revivals, they would have very few options available to them in NY.

And that is the state of the art.

I think Sutton will bring her own talents to Reno. Not Merman's or LuPone's.

I think with Foster in the role you will need a younger Moonface too - they are suppoosed to be buddies. Maybe someone like Burstein - at the oldest.

I think most of you have this all wrong. Yes, Sutton Foster is on the dorky side in PERSON, in interviews, etc, but are you all forgetting Millie and Drowsy Chaperone..she was drop dead gorgeous-sexy, sassy, unlike the girl next door that she is in person because...guess what?...she's an ACTOR...this is what she does. It's always going to be a challenge, and hopefully it is because that's what acting is all about. I seriously don't understand why people someone imagine Sutton to get up there in Anything Goes with her jeans, no make up and long straight hair...NO. It's theatre, make believe, and please youtube Millie's or Drowsy's Tony performance to remind yourself. And listen to that belt.

I know I have said this a lot, but I really would drop everything to fly to NYC for a weekend to see her as Reno

Thank you, Mike3 for thinking to ask her about it. :)

"I'm Trying!"? So, I guess there IS something to this rumor. That makes me happy.

I am growing to this idea, and would love to see it happen! I've been itching for her to do another big dance role like Millie was, and I am excited that there is a tap number! I know that she would be amazing as Reno!

I'm excited for her next show to be revealed! Although I have a feeling we will be waiting a while, but whatever it is, I know it will be amazing!
