Has there been any information about this musical since the table read last month last month? The cast from the read-through was an incredible, well-known batch of performers, and i'd LOVE for them to stay with the show for its debut, but there haven't been any updates as of late...

All i know is this: If its the cast from the table read (Sutton... Kristin... Marc... Brian... Roger... Cloris... Shuler...), i'm definitely blowing $250 on premium seats.

I doubt that the entire table read cast will stay with the show(its just too many marquee names for one show, the theatre gods would not allow this) I know that the show has plans to go to Broadway next season.

As far as I know, the entire reading cast is going to Broadway. In terms of names, Kristin comes the closest to being an actual marquee name, with Roger coming in second. Brian d'Arcy James and Marc Kudisch are nobodies. Shuler Hensley and Sutton Foster are Tony winning nobodies.

The ACTUAL marquee name here is Cloris Leachman, since she's a living legend and is repeating her role from the film. Mel Brooks, as well, is a BIG name....

I think Roger Bart is wasted as Eyegor. He should be the lead.

Roger as Eyegor is a brilliant move......Eyegor is a much more interesting role (at least the movie) than Dr. F
