Because it bears repeating, welcome back, Karen Olivo! Simply one of my favorite Broadway performers. I'm sure it'll be great for her to be back with Lin-Manuel Miranda, who has been her cheerleader for a few years now. How exciting!
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
"People have their opinions and that doesn't mean that their opinions are wrong or right. I just take it with a grain of salt because opinions are like as*holes, everyone has one".

Excited for Tick Tick to come back, but I hope Lin-Manuel Miranda is playing Michael and not Jonathan...
EDIT: Just saw that they announced he is playing Jonathan. I love Lin, but vocally he doesn't seem like a Jonathan to me..

Do we have another young, interesting Hispanic male actor to complete this cast? I know that "all-X casts" are controversial, but we have two of the most interesting actors, and two of the only Hispanic popular stage actors, of their generation. It would be nice, and be historic, to see a third Latino actor fill this cast, since that group is somewhat underrepresented onstage these days.
I really love Lin-Manuel Miranda, but why he keeps getting cast in roles that require singing is a mystery to me.
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.
I have a question...not being sarcastic. Is he going to rap or sing out in this role?
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)
I hardly think he's as bad a singer as people on here seem to be making him out to be.
Butters, go buy World of Warcraft, install it on your computer, and join the online sensation before we all murder you.

ATTENTION FANS: I will be played by James Barbour in the upcoming musical, "BroadwayWorld: The Musical."
Raul WAS the show at the Jane. "Raul is more like Jonathan than anyone I ever met", said Al Larson. Jerry Dixon played Michael and there was nice chemistry between them. that was also true for Raul and the first Susan, Amy Spanger. There were other Susans - Molly Ringwald, Natasha Diaz, but I liked Amy best. When Raul took on another project, Joey MacIntire took over as Jonathan. he did VERY well, too.
