Zaden and Meron were smart to close PROMISES, PROMISES after the original stars left. They should follow suit here.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Ralph Macchio would be perfect, actually.

Is there some strange hallucinogen in the nation's water supply? What's all this idiotic talk about Darren Criss? Betty White would make more sense...

Like this group's last amateur Mad Men rip-off, the summer-stock-on-Broadway revival of Promises, this one will close when the star departs.

Macchio turns 50 in November. I guess they could bring Mullally back to play Rosemary opposite him.

Macchio doesn't LOOK 50 though. If you didn't know how old he was I'm pretty sure you'd never guess.

You all understand that I was joking, right?
Machio headlined the National Tour of the Last revival of H2$ and IIRC was supposed to come do the show on Broadway towards the end of the run. I'm not sure if the show closed before he appeared though.

Other than that, did you enjoy the play Mrs Lincoln?

Well after he wins Dancing With the Stars (which I fully expect) he will definitely put butts in the seats.

The obvious choice is Patti Lupone or Laura Benanti.

However, rumor has it that Angela Lansbury has been tapped as a replacement.

Macchio was excellent in the tour (I thought on-par with Broderick, or even better), but even at that time he was a pretty old Finch. I can't imagine how he would come across nearly 15 years later in the same role!

I Ike the Phylicia Rashad idea but only if Bill Cosby can star opposite her.

I saw Macchio and Broderick. No comparsion.

Macchio was dull. Just slightly above a community college level performance.

The only interesting part of his performance was actually his final bow. After 2 1/2 hours of nothing, he coolly strutted on stage for his curtain call like he had just left us in orgasmic afterglow. He had the "I know.. I know.. I'm THAT good" attitude. It was laughable.

Chris Hanke might actually make a better Finch than Frump...

Have you ever seen Glee, or his Harry Potter the Musical youtube videos...he's incredibly talented. Not to mention he would be box office gold!!!!

I don't think he would be "box office gold". I think he's quite talented, but he is not a "name" yet.

A bigger question is, will the Producers be able to recoup with this show as they were not with PROMISES....

I don't see Elisha wood filling the seats like Danny R. does.

Does Noah Robbins (currently in ARCADIA) sing, because I think he would be fabulous.
