Was there a specific reason why Woolf had an alternative cast?"

I saw a good play off-off Broadway last weekend that actually, with a little tightening, has the potential to have a life beyond its current run. It's A LIFE IN THE RYE, about the life of J. D. Salinger, and it is at Theater for the New City until Nov. 24th. It's being given an excellent production and the largely full audience clearly loved it.
By joining forces with John Doyle and co-directing FOLLIES. Everyone would be dressed is street clothes and the follies numbers would be performed against a bare background while the cast plays their own instruments.
Gigi. Only the movie. I thought Hudgens and Caron were both wonderful, although Caron will always be the only Gigi for me. Disappointed that they eliminated Gigi's best song, Say a Little Prayer.

Jonny Lee Miller should have been nominated for Ink. And it was a hard choice but I probably would have voted for Benjamin Walker in All My Sons over Jonny's Tony-winning co-star, Bertie Carvel.

Frank Loesser wrote the book on these. I will add Brotherhood of Man (How To Succeed) to the aforementioned Sit Down, You're Rocking The Boat (Guys and Dolls).
What really bugs the trans community about this show is that it is not about them at all, and I do not think their response to it has much if anything to do with its lack of box-office success.

Interesting that you would ask that. Ernest Lehman always seemed much prouder of that change than of the Cool/Krupke swap. He thought audiences would never sit through Maria singing and dancing for a solid fiv
