I don't have a personal issue with her, despite her petty personal issue with me. (I was right, btw.)

I just don't think she's right for Anna in Frozen.

Betsy posted something about avocados and the first day of rehearsal on Monday. So I would assume.

Someone said SOMEWHERE on these boards it was some producer agreement/contract that to keep costs down, this new lab isn't a "second" one so much as just the second half of the first one, basically it was just a longer lab that is being split in two, so logic would dictate that it's same spring cast...but I heard there was a tiny little lab this summer as well, so who the hell knows. And who knows if it was the same cast for that one...as long as it's still Betsy, we all are happy I'm sure. 

Speaking of Jeremy...future Hans anyone?? I know y'all have said it was Corey for these labs, and while I don't think he's a bad choice, I guess my personal interpretation/view on Hans as a brooding dark type leads me to want Jeremy to do it in the end since those are the roles Jeremy does best. 

I still think Patti is a better choice than most of the "sweet and cute" true blue ingenue types with no grit or comic edge whatsoever that the masses still insist on suggesting...but the Emily Skeggs idea....THAT COULD BE INSPIRED!! I never saw Fun Home, so I can't comment on her skills at all but considering who she was playing, I can't imagine her being strictly ingenue. And I never would have thought this before as most pics I know of her are with her F.H. super short haircut, but now that I've seen pics of her with longer hair....I SUPPORT THIS!!! Crap though....I'm thinking as myopically as a casting director with that haircut thing...

Jenn, if that were true, wouldn't everything have changed once they ousted Timbers?

I really don't know, although it's certainly not impossible. Betsy is certainly still doing this, but no one seems to know for sure about anyone else. 

I also figure that even though Timbers is gone, that doesn't mean the writers don't have a say in who they want to cast. One casting decision maker of the originally announced creative team may be gone but that doesn't mean the whole cast has been overhauled, but it doesn't mean they haven't either. No one seems to be sure either way.

From what I've been hearing (which admittedly isn't a whole lot) it's the same principal cast from spring, but of course I'm all ears to any new info.

Since Corey Cott is pretty much unavailable because of "Bandstand" and since Jeremy Jordan is pretty busy as well, I personally would love to see Josh Young as Hans. Granted I don't know if he'd do it, but I'm very intrigued by the idea of him playing a bad guy.

You know I could see Josh young and he has a relationship with the new director through Evita. So it's a possibility.

If we're casting hot evil guys who sneak up on you, my vote goes for Jay Armstrong Johnson. I mean... cm'mon.

I'm SO feeling that, Valentina. Johnson is wildly talented and deserves a huge career break soon!

Although I'm campaigning for Josh Young as Hans, I can TOTALLY see Jay Armstrong Johnson in the role as well!!! He has that look!!!

According to Ridley or whatever, there's a song for Anna called True Love.

I wonder how they're going to portray the trolls onstage...apparently they had a much more significant role in the original draft for the film...something to do with a prophecy involving Elsa.
