Yet another comic exercise in applied identity politics is playing one block east of “Straight White Men”: “Head Over Heels” is a jukebox musical whose score consists of songs recorded by the Go-Go’s, an all-female new-wave power-pop group that had a brief vogue in the ’80s. Very freely adapted by Jeff Whitty from “The Arcadia,” Philip Sidney’s 16th-century pastoral romance about mistaken gender identity,
I'd love to see a Kate McKinnon or Kristen Wiig! I think they'd both absolutely kill in this, as would Melissa McCarthy. I don't know if they'd be interested or have the time to do it though, even just for two months.
I think this could be a perfect return for Toni Colette! She would slay as Miranda. I think Williams is a bit too on the nose since she's essentially played the character already on Ugly Betty. I love Baranski and would see anything she's in. I think Heather Headley would also be an inspired choice.
Does Laura Linney sing? I'd be interested to see her take on the role. If this had happened 40 years ago Lauren Bacall would've been an incredible Miranda.

This doesn't make any sense to me. The music from Yentl was written by Michael Legrand with lyrics by Marilyn and Alan Bergman, all of whom I believe are still alive and working even though they are in their
I was wondering if anyone thought an audiobook of the play might ever be recorded with the Broadway cast? All the Harry Potter novels have been recorded and I think this would be a great way to record this adaptation. Could this be a possibility or would they refrain from doing this because they want people to only be able to access it by buying a ticket? I personally don't think it would have much of an affect on ticket sales as so much of this productions draw is visual.
I heard a few months ago the actors playing Albus & Scorpius have 1-year contracts, while the rest of the main casts may not be as long. This was only from a semi-reliable source so take from it what you will.

I heard that at some of her recent concerts she has been singing "Omar Sharif" from the Band's Visit. Has anyone heard her do it?

So sad to see this production close, was looking forward to seeing the many great Dollys yet to come! Will definitely try to get back again for Bette, do we think Donna Murphy will return to Tuesday nights (or maybe another Broadway name?) or will they just not have a show on Tuesday?
