Those costumes were not in the Chicago production. Ebersole's definitely wasn't, Patti's style is similar but it still looks like a new costume. I do like the picture, it's pretty!

If the show ends up extending past the leads contracts, I'd love to see Ana Gasteyer and Jennifer Laura Thompson take on Rubinstein and Arden respectively.

Is Patti back yet? If so, when did she return and is she is in full voice again? Thanks

Yes, she is back (on top). I saw her last night and she sounded TERRIFIC! (Christine also sounded amazing). I think she was back on Friday!

What a relief - we have tickets for this Saturday's matinee and I was getting worried!

That casting seems brilliant. I think both of them are due for another leading role.

Ana Gasteyer and Jennifer Laura Thompson? This show is going need bigger names than those to keep it running.

They aren't the biggest of names, but it's not like they aren't unknown(I will say JLT is more of an unknown than Ana, though). Ana has had a respectable career on TV and film and I'd say she has pretty nice following. As for JLT, being apart of the OBC of DEH it has given her some recognition. I think whatever she goes onto next, fansens will follow. Also both Ana and Jennifer have a connection with the producers through Wicked, plus Jennifer is connected to Michael Greif.

I'm gonna watch that video over and over again until the cast album comes out! Kinda wish they'd feature more songs in the video, but I'll take what I can get!

Donna Murphy (as Helena) and Marin Mazzie would be interesting replacements. They played love rivals in Passion and now could be reunited again as rivals once more :p.

I'm not sold on Murphy singing the score as it. It just seems out of her belt range now. Mazzie as Arden would be exquisite.

Yeah, Murphy's voice isn't what it used to be, I agree that it's out of her range. Mazzie is beyond perfect casting as Arden.

Didn't one of the NYT article say that Donna was Arden in all the workshops?

[ljay889]

Posted: 4/25/17 at 12:27am

Yes.

I wonder how she did it. I'd be curious to hear her on Behind The Red Door and Pink
