Well she doesn’t sing well. We’ve never seen her dancing so can only imagine how she’d do and her acting leaves a lot to be desired. Her run in GUYS AND DOLLS in the West End wasn’t exactly a huge success so who knows what she’s thinking. Perhaps a musical where the protagonist finds themselves trapped in a musical despite not being musically inclined?
RAGTIME Reunion Concert Happening This April Dec 19

If it is the whole show and they need someone to stand in for the irreplaceable Marin, my vote would be for Carolee Carmello who was in callbacks for the role before losing out to Marin. She would be incredible.
"I know she might be a little old for the part, but I would love to see Donna Murphy as Mother... plus it would be a little tribute to Marin as they starred in "Passion" together."
I believe Donna played Mother in one of the workshops as well, so there’s another connection.
Is this a presentation of the whole piece or is it just a reunion/tribute concert in which they’ll be singing some of the songs?

It depends on who’s around when they finally make it. We may all be dead by then.
Michelle Pfeiffer MUST Be Phyllis In The FOLLIES Film Nov 15

I, too, have had the thought of Cheno for Sally. She’d need a strong director, but she has the chops and she’s similar to Dorothy Collins in type. A soprano who is age appropriate and has any ounce of Hollywood fame is sadly hard to find.
I actually think if Catherine Zeta-Jones were to end up near this film, she’d be a fabulous Carlotta. She has that old Hollywood glamour and a career with as many ups and downs as Carlotta describes in I’m Still Here.
Got tix for next week when Benanti will be the guest. I couldn’t pass up the chance to hear them sing together.
I’m so jealous! I think Jennifer Laura Thompson is there that night as well, which should be fun since she replaced Kristin in Wicked all those years ago. Please report back :)

Would her performance in Drive be eligible since it’s a role she’s reprising? I genuinely don’t know what the Tonys rules are on this, not that they’ve ever been consistent.

Did anyone see Tammy Grimes and Christine Ebersole? I’m curious how they compare.

There’s an Annie Baker play called Body Awareness where they suspect the teenaged son has Asperger’s, but refuses to go to therapy.
