So excited for this show, btw!

Two of my college buddies saw this in London and came back jaws to the floor, utterly speechless.
I can't wait. I mean, I really can't wait. I play the Chocolate Factory cast recording at least once a week...
Un-freakin'-believable.

I assume Gemignani and Morgain Lewis will cover George and Dot/Marie?
EXTREMELY optomistic about this production. Looking forward to it!
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.

Posted: 10/30/07 at 9:16pmI saw Mary Beth Peil in 33 Variations this summer in DC. She was a joy to watch in an intense and moving play. She took on the physicality of progressive ALS in a most beleivable way and made the academic life seem something to which one would actually aspire!

Posted: 10/30/07 at 9:19pmVery very exciting. I cannot wait for this.

Posted: 10/30/07 at 9:38pmPeil also was fantastic in the production of Pinter's "The Room" at the Atlantic a few years ago.

GO ALEX G!!!!!!
I was already looking forward to this before, and then someone last week hinted to me that Alex might be in it, but now that everyone's set I'm like, break a beer bottle over someone's head and fling the cat across the room excited.
Can't wait to see this.

So we're thinking Morgain Lewis is the Dot cover?
Looking at that list I couldn't figure out who would be, and I guess she's the closest in age to being appropriate for the part; but I can't say I'm excited about her as Dot. On the upside, I can't wait to see Jenna Russell. You can't win them all...
Other than that... fantastic.
Good to see Brynn O'Malley on board, too!

I still think Molaskey is a pretty boring choice for Yvonne.
Mary Beth Peil should make an interesting Old Lady though, and David Turner is good even in the smallest roles.

Kelsey Fowler lands her second Broadway gig at age, what, 10? Good for her!
I adore former MILLIE gals Jessica Grove and Anne L. Nathan. Glad to see them back on Broadway.
And I love me some David Turner. I think we can all say that he has officially outlived his Winston days. 
Congrats to all. I look forward to this production.

Posted: 10/31/07 at 10:19amAfter Follies, SITPWG is my second favorite musical of all time, I couldnt possibly be more excited for this production! And now looking over the cast, wow this should be amazing. It cant get here soon enough for me

#23re: Cumpsty, Gemginani, Peil and more round out SUNDAY Cast
Posted: 10/31/07 at 2:22pmI'm a LITTLE confused as to why Gemignani is getting above the title billing as the Boatman. I understand Gemignani is getting a name with Sondheim shows, and he is the son of Paul. But I still don't see the Boatman as THAT big of a role.

Posted: 10/31/07 at 2:27pmljay, I think maybe Roundabout was looking to promote an American actor, as the British actors may not be as well known here?
