#1Who will replace John Larroquette?
Posted: 8/22/11 at 10:51pmAt the H2$ stage door this past Wednesday, John Larroquette said that January 1st would also be his last show. Is there any word on who will be his replacement? I looked around, but I couldn't find anything online about it.

Posted: 8/22/11 at 11:47pmWith Craig Zadan and Neil Meron producing this show, a good guess would be Victor Garber, in anticipation of another bad TV adaptation.

Posted: 8/23/11 at 12:05amNot so sure about the TV adaptation.... but love the idea of Victor Garber as Biggley.

Posted: 8/23/11 at 12:23amMatthew Broderick? That would be interesting...

Broderick will be on Broadway in NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT in the spring.
David Hyde Pierce was Biggley in both readings of the show opposite Radcliffe but was unavailable to do the full production. Too bad he's committed elsewhere yet again, unless they wait until he finishes his show at Manhattan Theater Club at the end of January. He'd be a blast.

David Hyde Pierce may actually get me to see this show...
I'm open to seeing anyone in this show except for Larroquette (I don't like his singing voice) and that annoying little wizard boy :P

Posted: 8/23/11 at 1:12amI enjoyed the show with Dan and John, but have no plan on seeing it again after they leave...but if they got DHP in there, that could possibly get me back...

Posted: 8/23/11 at 1:43amWhat about John Lithgow, it has some similarities to Laurence in DRS.

Lithgow's also working for Manhattan Theater Club next year- he's doing David Auburn's THE COLUMNIST on Broadway starting in April.

Given that they're both quite good in their roles, that's a stupid, elitis, attitude to have.

Posted: 8/23/11 at 8:36amEveryone is entitled to their opinion. If someone finds Daniel Radcliffe annoying as Harry Potter and doesn't like Larroquette's singing voice, they have a right to express it. That's what this board is for.

He didn't say he shouldn't express it, his just expressed his opinion about Quizkid's pretty childish post.I think Quizkid just sounded like a jealous teenager.
I certainly didn't think Larroquette deserved the Tony Award (but POSSIBLY the nomination) but I found Radcliffe to be delightful in his role. I also thought he was simply outstanding in Equus - maybe that's why I can see past his Harry Potter days.

I'd LOVE to see Mr. Garber as Biggley--talk about great casting. That said, he's always been selective with his stage roles, so I'm not going to hold out much hope.
If Marc Kudisch were ten years older, he'd be perfect.

Posted: 8/23/11 at 9:04amOooh....I like Marc Kusish there -- I think he could pull off the age. Hmmmmm....
#16Who will replace John Larroquette?
Posted: 8/23/11 at 9:13amI'm just wondering how Kudisch would look next to an older-looking Finch, like Darren Criss. They actually have extremely similar features.

but Darren Criss will only be there for 3 weeks....they'll likely be thinking long term. Against the rumored Jonas Brother, it would be fine.
#18Who will replace John Larroquette?
Posted: 8/23/11 at 9:24amGood point, Drama, although my instincts tell me they'll probably look to star-cast the role.
#19Who will replace John Larroquette?
Posted: 8/23/11 at 9:31amAs fine of an actor as DHP is, I just don't seem him in this role even if he did the readings. I absolutely loved Larroquette in the role, so I'll admit I have difficulty seeing it done by anyone else right now. Garber does feel like a good match.

Posted: 8/23/11 at 9:55amHow about John O'Hurley? I know he doesn't have the star wattage but he'd be a natural choice.

Are you surprised?

Pretty much.
#23Who will replace John Larroquette?
Posted: 8/23/11 at 10:33amJ.K. Simmons would be fun, but I'm sure he's got a dozen commitments.

Ok, so the "annoying little wizard boy" comment was indeed childish, but it was just a way of me saying I don't care to see Radcliffe either.
I wish John O'Hurley was the book voice...
