I heard Jeff Bridges just broke his liver bones and they're going to replace him with Tom Arnold.

Matt_G- I heard a rumor that Eden is quitting Brooklyn to be Idina's standby again for this show.

Posted: 3/26/05 at 12:19amIdina is so versatile. She's already played a green girl, why can't she play an old boxing coach? And Kristin will be perfect for Morgan Freeman's role. Color-blind casting at it's best.

I believe Munk planned it for Kristin to star in Morgan's role, but I could be wrong.
Actually, Idina's role is so vocally demanding, the producers have brought in several women as stanbys: Eden, Shoshana, and Saycon.
Hilary Duff may make a guest appearance, if it isn't past her bedtime.

Idina can play the Morgan Freeman role.
I hear she's got a black man inside her that's dying to get out.

How true you are, Matt.
Also, this just in from the NYTimes:
"When researching for Morgan Freeman's character, Idina Menzel's commitment to this project is unstoppable. She has decided to grow out her leg hair to it's full extent."

Posted: 3/26/05 at 12:33amThis show is going to be AMAZING! I heard Brittney Spears is going to play the female boxer.
#15re: URGENT: Show announced to fill the Hirschfeld
Posted: 3/26/05 at 12:37am
Menzel and Chenoweth will not be switching roles. Chenoweth is Freeman's role.
FosseBoi: No, Britney Spears has NOTHING to do with this project. Idina Menzel is the boxer, Maggie. They are considering changing her name from MAGGIE to JAN, Hilary is finding lots of great rhymes for Jan.

THE WIZ is fake.
This is real.

Posted: 3/26/05 at 12:42amSince it IS a Carrafa show they should toss boxing gloves into the audience during the finale.
#19re: URGENT: Show announced to fill the Hirschfeld
Posted: 3/26/05 at 12:44amHe's not directing it, he's only writing the book. Nunn isn't a fan of throwing things into the audience, and the theatres is too small to have a set so large that the actor's look puny, so I don't know what he'll do this time.

Posted: 3/26/05 at 12:46ammy prediction is that kristin will fill charlotte D'amboise's slot for tony nominee! This is EXCITING!

Posted: 3/26/05 at 12:47amNo, this show isn't opening until 2007.
#22re: URGENT: Show announced to fill the Hirschfeld
Posted: 3/26/05 at 12:50amYes...until the show opens the tour of "Forever Tango" will be brought back to Broadway, again, and housed in the Hirschfeld.

You are half correct.
The theatre is being held for MDB because it's going to be very meticulous, so the set is going to take MONTHS to put up.
However.
FOREVER TANGO will open at both the Barrymore Theatre and the Belasco Theatre once the shows there end their limited runs. So, FOREVER TANGO will run simultaneously in two different theatres.
