Wow what a wonderful cast! Still not bought on Lane as Gomez (and yes I know they are going back to the original cartoons) but Bebe Neuwirth starring in a brand new Broadway musical is an excellent piece of news, and she is oh so right for Morticia. It's almost unreal that this is the first time ever she'll be creating a role on Broadway, good for her, I'm so excited.
And I'm surprised Carolee Carmello has been cast in this project, is THE FIRST WIVES CLUB no longer a go?

I was wondering the same thing. What happened to The First Wives Club? I guess that's not happening anymore?

LOVE the cast! I am so excited to see this. With a cast like this one can only hope the material is strong.

WOW!!!! It's SO nice to see that Carollee is free from the wrath of Mamma Mia. And FINALLY Krysta gets a chance to grow in a real role!!!

THE FIRST WIVES CLUB is definitely still happening. They go into rehearsal next month and run July 15th through August 25th in San Diego at The Old Globe.

I'd heard profusely that they're targeting a November start date on Broadway, which is why the news of Carmello being involved with THE ADDAMS FAMILY is so surprising.

Can anyone shed some light on the situation? Is Carmello about to drop out of THE FIRST WIVES CLUB or is she just banking on doing whichever show moves first?
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.

Carmello probably isnt even thinking about that situation right now, as of late these are still both out of town tryouts and could close at any moment, shes making a brilliant choice to be involved in both...She is not contractually obligated to participate in the broadway run of either show until contracts are drawn up for those purposes...I'm sure she has right of first refusal in her contracts. But it wouldnt be an awful choice to make, both shows are getting a lot of buzz so hopefully one will be a hit and its the ones shes in

Isn't Krysta still in ITHs?

That's what I was wondering. If she is, that narrows it down even further! re: The Addams Family Cast!

... I don't even have that much interest, I was just wondering if she was still in ITH or if she'd moved on, and then I come home to this news. XD

I am really excited for this cast... not to mention getting to hear something new from Andrew Lippa.

And yay for Wesley Taylor! His performance was just about the only thing I enjoyed about ROA...
