Who is playing Eden in this workshop? I feel like I haven't heard anything about possible casting for that part (which, while small, could catch someone quite good.)
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

I have the album Ragtime and she was good in that. I am sure she has emotional range but I would have loved to see Kristin Chenoweth in the role or even JENNIFER LAURA THOMPSON in the role
Of all things, I had a fully detailed dream last night and we can all rest assured that Marin Mazzie will be playing Helen Sinclair.
In my dream, I was at a private party hosted by Woody Allen to introduce the cast of his Broadway musical adaptation of BULLETS OVER BROADWAY and each member of the cast came out in full costume, the last, obviously: Marin in full Helen Sinclair costume and... she looked fantastic. Cigarette holder in hand. They recreated ALL of the film's costumes and wigs, which looked fabulous. They didn't perform, though. Woody stated he wanted to leave something as a surprise.

"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic.
