Musicaldudepeter said: "Sher casts these shows meticulously and he usually takes at least a year to do so... I'm sure he has a concept in mind for this casting. I would love Block to lean in to the 'diva' nature of the role instead of the watered down vanilla Lili Kelli O'Hara gave us a few years ago. Talk about miscast. This is a romp of a show, and they would be better off approaching it so as Blakemore did in the 90s."

 

Except this revival was originally planned to have a different director and star so I'm not sure how long Sher has actually been working ok this, and it's casting.

Doubt this will come to the states. We just had it a handful of years ago and it wasn’t that hottest ticket then.

I had to Google Adrian Dunbar…he is a 65 year old character man who seems to have a pleasant but not particularly strong tenor. Why exactly is he playing a forty-something former matinee idol with a booming operatic baritone? Weird casting indeed.

Full cast announced, including Charlie Stemp as Bill Calhoun/Lucentio. Any bets if this will transfer to the Beaumont?
