hahaha! I wonder why only 5 ensemble members. Were they having trouble finding people to sign on that have talent or was this the number-ish they were looking for on the outset?

Thank God somebody is putting Curtis Holbrook back on the stage to dance again. He is fantastic as is Kenita and I'm sure the rest of the ensemble. Just seems a little small for a musical!

Maybe they plan to have Mary Testa mic'd way up to blow the roof off.

"Thank God somebody is putting Curtis Holbrook back on the stage to dance again."

I love Curtis.
He was so fantastic in All Shook Up.
He and Anika, both ASU-alum. Yay!

He danced like crazy at the end of ASU, but he was quite impressive during "The Right Girl" at Encores 2 months ago.

best 122bard what areo uy tlkaing about? Why are people hating on this show alreadY? You can't judge somethign you ha'vnt seen yet. Kerry Butttler is really grate and she wuldn't ever do a show that wasnt supposd to be good.

I assume Anika is going to cover Kerry and Kenita will understudy Testa and Hoffman?

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

That sounds like a fair assumption, along with Holbrook understudying Carpinello.

Marty---I truly hope you're right about being surprised, and I'm very glad you're having fun working on it. Best of luck.

And Munk---Thanks for the laff!

Mary Testa is a force of nature and Douglas Carter Beane is a skilled playwright who should whip up a good book.
