Posted: 1/21/06 at 8:25pmHas anyone heard for certain who is going to be in Encore's "70, Girls, 70" in late March? Didn't I read somewhere that Angela Lansbury might be enticed back to star in the Mildred Natwick leading role? What about the supporting players? I know that I would like to see Helen Gallagher, Kaye Ballard, Hal Linden, Tommy Rall, Charles Nelson Reilly, Bobby Morse, Carol Lawrence, Phyllis Newman, among others in the supporting cast.

Posted: 1/21/06 at 8:30pmI don't think any serious casting has been done for this production yet. KISMET is opening on February 9th and I have the impression that it hasn't been fully cast yet.

Posted: 1/21/06 at 11:50pmI'm not that familiar with the show. Is there a role for Elaine Stritch?

Posted: 1/22/06 at 12:55amEvery role in 70, Girls, 70 is a role for Elaine Stritch.

But still, I'd love to see some of our favorite stage veterans to be cast in this show. Imagine Lansbury, Channing, Stritch, or Bea Arthur singing Yes, pure golden.
And InfiniteTheaterFrenzy, I can't get over the quote on your signature, it's way too funny, gotta love Karen.

Posted: 1/22/06 at 10:47amAdding Anita Gillette to the list. Love her. Although she may be a little young for the show.

With the exception of the spelling of the word "sucks", I agree 98% with your post.
(I like "Say Yes" and "Old Folks", but I don't care for the rest.)

Posted: 2/26/06 at 2:32pmDo the Encore revivals get a new cast recording? I have the OBC recording and the mix is very bad and sorely in need of a remaster...

Posted: 2/26/06 at 2:37pmRarely do they record Encores shows anymore.

Posted: 2/26/06 at 2:43pmLet's not forget Polly Bergen--although she might be out in CA and quite busy with Commander-In-Chief.

Posted: 2/26/06 at 2:45pmThese things are very expensive and never turn a profit. 70 Girls 70 has 2 cast recordings, so it is unlikely to recieve a 3rd.
