I got an email last night (read: a couple of hours after reading the news everywhere else), and then an automated robocall this morning.

As discussed in other posts about this revival, I don't think the age really matters for the characters are long as she is "of a certain age."

John Patrick Shanley has approved casting of a 48-year-old (Cherry Jones), a 59-year-old (Meryl), a 72-year-old (Eileen Atkins), a 60-year-old (Dearbhla Molloy in London), a 77-year-old (Tyne), and now a 55-year-old (Amy). She's in a wimple (bonnet?) the whole time; it's not hard for a skilled actor to play a little older if that's the take on the role.

For Father Flynn, Shanley has approved casting of him being 38 (Brian O'Byrne), 41 (Ron Eldard & Philip Seymour Hoffman), 30 (Padraic Delaney in London), and now 56 (Liev). That character being a contemporary of Sister A could provoke interesting dynamics, too.

Not that I’m representative of anything but my own opinion, but I wasn’t really interested in seeing this, but I amveryinterested now."

Same!
