The NEW Night Music at The Kerr Thread — Page 14

Guess since Brian Stokes Mitchell will be doing concerts throughout November and December around the country he's definitely out as Frederick. I remember a few wishing he was a possibilty.

Be on the lookout in the Post as Reidel is rumored to be working on a juicy article regarding Night Music.

Novel Idea, I hope you are right about the Riedel article. I feel like he should have reported about this so long ago, he followed the SOUTH PACIFIC casting process closely. I remember when he first wrote about Maggie Gyllenhall (sp?) and Reese Witherspoon (or was it two different articles?), and apparently the other actresses flipped out. Why has he not reported on this?

Haha, novel, I feel we all are anxiously waiting. Riedel basically confirmed Zeta Jones in his column today. Who's our Fredrick though? And when can I get my ticket? Zeta Jones and Lansbury will most likely sell the show out.

what happen to kate winslet being in the this production?

From what some people told me Kate Winslet was out of consideration some time before the rumors of her even began circulating around here. Now, this person told me this well after the fact, so it may just have been further rumor and speculation, but at the same time he is somebody who is actually good about keeping his mouth shut when he's supposed to and understands the whole need for discretion during the casting process.

I know I'm in the minority, but it really bugs me that CZJ will be playing Desiree.

That being said, I can't stop imagining what a beautiful production it will be, in one of my favorite Broadway houses. Hopefully there's an announcement soon, and there's a strong charismatic supporting cast around CZJ.
