Saw Hello Dolly tonight and thought it was a fantastic show! Everyone in it from the leads to the ensemble were just wonderful! For anyone who is seeing it this week, I hope you enjoy yourself!

Who's the new Javert? :)

[sarab]

Posted: 7/10/07 at 1:22am

I'm not sure who the new Javert is, but as soon as I hear anything I will definitely let you know LizzieCurry. The newest person who has been added to the cast of Les Miz though is Jeff McCarthy. I don't know what role he is. There are pictures of the actors and the names of the shows they are in, but not their character names.

Wow. Well, he was the original LA Javert. Thanks!

Your welcome! I hope that helps. Anything concrete that I hear though, I will be sure to post.

Are the other roles cast yet? And are any other New York Broadway people in the cast?

As previously posted, Lisa Howard and Ivan Rutherford are also in the cast.

sarab-
Where are you finding the list of the cast?

[sarab]

Posted: 7/10/07 at 2:30pm

Well, there are pictures of the actors who are in the shows up around the MUNY. It doesn't give their character name, just what show they will be in. For those of you who go to the MUNY, (you will find them directly on the wall either to your left or right depending on which side you go in, as soon as they scan your ticket.)
Also, an article is up every Monday on Playbill.com telling you about the show, who is in it, and even a couple pictures as well.

Cool, thanks! I guess I haven't been paying attention when I'm there. Can't wait for Les Mis! I'll have to try and catch Hello Dolly, too.

I heard also that leah horowitz will be in the show. Is that true? she was in woman in white and la cage aux folles.

[sarab]

I'm not sure if Leah will be in it or not, but as soon as I find anything out, I will be sure to let you know.

I found out tonight that yes, Leah Horowitz will be in Les Miserables.

can anyone recommend a hotel near the muny? also what's transportation like around there? Is it easy to get a cab to the theatre? and about how far is the airport? Thx for your help.

[sarab]

Posted: 7/20/07 at 3:01pm

I have provided a link below to the Chase Park Plaza. It's a very nice hotel and is only a few minutes from Forest Park, which is where the MUNY is in. The transportation that everyone uses is cars, but I'm sure if you ask the people at the front desk of your hotel to call you a cab, it should be no problem. The airport is about 25-30 minutes from the MUNY. If you need any other advice, please ask. Hope you can make it to one of the shows!

thanks for the help. I'm afraid the rates at that hotel are a little too steep for me. Do you know of a cheaper hotel that is still within reasonable distance?

Simone as Fantine? VERY interesting. I have enjoyed her in everything I've seen her in. What a powerhouse voice...and she never sang the show the same way twice. I would love to see this!

[sarab]

Posted: 7/24/07 at 2:08am

I saw Pajama Game tonight and thought it was fantastic! Will Chase was absolutely amazing as Sid, along with the beautifully talented Kate Baldwin who played Babe. The whole cast was just wonderful! It truly is a GREAT show!

[sarab]

Posted: 7/31/07 at 10:18am

Saw Joseph last night, and liked it a lot! Liz Callaway stole the show, and Eric Kunze was terrific too! All in all, it was a good show!

Les Mis is spectacular. I encourage everyone who can to go out and see it. It would be a great introduction to the show or just a great production for those who love it.

[LizzieCurry]

Posted: 8/7/07 at 2:40pm

Any production photos anywhere? I'm really not a fan of the Muny's site...

It looks like they TRASHED Peter Pan this year. The only thing I have found that I liked was the nursery set.
