I could believe Osnes and Cott being a part of this. 

The roll out of this is very reminiscent of "The Greatest Showman." Jackman posted the first teaser on his Instagram and then captioned it, "You're up next Zac Efron!" You'd go to Zac's Instagram page and it would point you to Zendaya, then Zendaya to Keala, etc.

Maybe that's what this is? Jackman, then Osnes takes her lead, Cott bounces off her....

Any potential this is what Jeremy Jordan is a part of?

A friend of mine spotted a majority of the cast (except Connie and Hayden) having dinner last week in the city. A reunion of some sort or were they in town for this?

Better Midler for Morrible

Steve Martin for The Wizard.

Whoever said Tori Kelly...YES. She does NOT get enough recognition for her voice.

I'll echo though, Id love to see the supporting cast packed with big names and then we get a Dreamgirls moment of "Introducing _____________ as Elphaba and ________ as Glinda."

 

I know at one point Demi Lovato wanted Vanessa and they wanted Vanessa to be Demi Lovato...but had some insurance hurdles. 

Surprised no one here is talking about (or really complaining about) this yet. Seems with this and Jeremy Jordan's recent cover R&H are trying to step into this century.

Deena was my guess as well. 

Heard a rumor that Dreamgirls is on life support but one of the ones they wanted is Ariana. 

The View had a conversation about "The Prom" performance for a good 3-5 minutes. No such thing as bad press no?

Didn't "The Lion King" shave off like 30-45 minutes in the last few years?

Excited to see what pull quotes they get. 

Fantasia's "I'm Here" is by far the best. Saw her live and it received a 3 minute standing ovation.

Here's my question about J-Hud, when are they filming the Aretha bio-pic? That on top of CATS could make it hard for her to do this dependent on scheduling. 

Interesting they just cancelled a performance to make "final adjustments." I applaud a creative who still makes changes and not just being stubborn. 

I COULD see her doing this, she's freakishly talented and probably chasing that EGOT...with that being said...

Didn't Gaga just sign on for an EXTENSIVE Vegas residency? 

Anyone know of any changes made? I figured with a different preview schedule they'd at least try to make changes?

It'll be interesting to see what changes, if significant, are made from the first preview to opening night. 

Here's the question I always love to ask. Is there time (or desire from the creative team) to change what's needed before opening night? And if so, what are most necessary changes? 

A friend in casting told me Dreamgirls isn't dead, they just don't want to move forward without Riley who has TV and film projects in the works. 

I've got on good word this is happening. She apparently went in for Anita and this is how it turned out.

While we're talking about it, at one point I heard Demi Lovato was scrapping for Vanessa in ITH...Im hoping recent issues don't mess that up. 

JCS just scored 13 EMMY nominations, Im sure that was a nice carrot to dangle.

 

I wouldn't be shocked if from here on out JCS format is what NBC goes with. It was clearly a turning point for them.
