They haven't said yet. Who would you like to play them?

Betsy Wolfe and Erin Davie have done several workshops of the revised SIDE SHOW. Wouldn't be surprised if it was them.

AC-I hope so! I'd go to DC if they were the ones cast. (They seem quite ideal for the parts.)

That's great casting. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Not sure what I think. I used to love Side Show, now I recognize it's not that great. Excited they've revamped it, though.

I missed this the first time around; most of my friends and the critics opinions kept me away. Am I really missing something special, or is this just one of those cult shows for a very devoted core group?

^^ Jay, IMHO this is one of those cult shows. It's got an okay score, but let's face it: it's all about the performance gimmick of the twins.

I will admit that I am a tough critic, but went into the show without any knowledge of what I would be seeing. It was one of those days at TKTS in Times Square where the performers themselves were out advertising the show and discount tickets were being sold at their own box office. I not only loved the show in terms of the characters, story, mix of choreography and music, but I found the score to be actually memorable days after I had left the theater. There are some beautiful ballads and some surprisingly catchy ensemble numbers as well. I had a hard time understanding what all the fuss was about in terms of it being a failure, but I certainly can't say it's one of the best shows I've ever seen. I truly do look forward to seeing a new vision of the show, and new performers offering a fresh take on the roles. No matter what, I will always love the two power ballads and the fact that I was firmly introduced to both Alice Ripley and Emily Skinner in the show. Oh yeah, did I mention that Norm Lewis was in it and as usual was incredible?
