I completely forgot about "Break in a glove" and the school shooter line when I wrote my initial comment. I completely agree if a show is specifically set in a certain country that the setting shouldn't change when the show is playing in a different country. That said, I think for shows like Wicked it's nice that they let the actors perform it in British English since the show wasn't particularly "American" to begin with.
Oh, I haven't read this — it definitely makes sense and I think it's cool that they're casting a British Evan. Also, are the performers going to speak in an American accent? I ask since DEH seems like it could easily be adapted to take part in the UK instead of the USA.

I don't know what London Waitress's numbers are like, but I doubt they would be doing this type of casting if they were selling very well."
Well said. As much as I like the show, it would have closed on Broadway a while ago, too, had Sara not come in three times to boost sales.
Melanie Griffith seems like she was really good in Chicago based on a few clips I saw, same with Billy Ray Cyrus.
Emma Stone was incredible in Cabaret, better than Michelle Williams in my opinion.
And people said Kat McPhee was stunt cast in Waitress and she did an amazing job.
All that being said, I feel like this is different since Joe is neither a singer nor an actor... It will be interesting to see how he does, I wish him luck.
I always thought Sweeney Todd and Little Shop of Horrors were kind of similar (at least on paper): The main character gets sudden success in business by murdering people, halfway through he kills his nemesis as part of his ploy and in the end both he and his loved ones perish due to the choices he makes during the play.

Wow, really? I never saw the show, but what was so bad about him?"
I actually liked Taye's take on Hedwig! Having said that, if he was my first Hedwig, I probably wouldn't like the show as much as I do. He messed up a lot of lines, had issues with the choreography, they had to lower the keys of the songs so he would b
