Is the Patti thing still speculation or officially announced?

Well playbill and broadway.com all have her listed as the next Lovett. I guess those aren;t official announcements???

Please link the articles where either Playbill.com or Broadway.com have officially announced LuPone as Lovett. They both have reported the "rumors" that she is in talks and negotiations to play the role, but, to my knowledge, the producers of the production have not yet made any official final casting announcement to them or anyone else.

yeah, all that I've read has just been speculation and rumor. I would absolutely love to see Patti as Mrs. Lovett, but after hearing the raves about Betty Buckley down in Texas, I'm hoping this might be the vehicle to Bring he back to Broadway.

Seymour -- Don't expect Betty Buckley to appear in a Stephen Sondheim musical on Broadway anytime soon. He is not a fan...

I'd be interested in reading those raves for Buckley, since the production was canceled before it played a single performance.

MEF- I wasn't aware it was canceled. I think the review was a link off buckley website, but I'm not sure.
Michael Bennett- oh I didn't know he wasn't a fan of hers. Well, Bring on Lupone!

Regarding Buckley as Ms. Lovett...I have a really hard time seeing her in the role. The character is suppose to be daffy and whimsical (remember Dorothy Louden eventually replaced Lansbury in the role). In fact, Ms. Lovett offers what little comic relief there is in this somber piece. I just don't see Buckley as funny and a dark Ms. Lovett seems all wrong to me but I'd still like to hear her sing it.

My understanding is that they are in the process of sorting out contracts with the Musician's union, as the actors will also be the musicians. Until then, no "Official" announcement.
