Having seen Jesse Mueller playing Mariam in Wash DC, I can't see christen Chenoweth. Great voice, but I agree she's awfully short compared to Hugh. Does anyone not see Jesse, unless she's busy?
Rosie O'Donnell was a great Mrs. Paroo. The rest of the Wash DC cast were also good. So why not any of them?
Child of Earth, The Wash DC production in early Feb had Jesse Mueller as Miriam. She was great and was a Scott Rudin cast member in Carousel. I would be surprised if they didn't ask her, unless she's busy.
Child of Earth, I can't see LMM. He's just too cute and nice looking to be a swindler. As one Ham reviewer wrote, LMM is the kind of man you bring home to meet your mother whereas Javier Munoz was someone you'd sneak up the back door!
I agree w/MarkBearSF. I was hoping for the Norm Lewis production as well, but unfortunately, it's not w/Norm. I do hope they get Rosie ODonnell. I told her that when I met her at the SD. She said she was looking forward to get back on Bway. She was great as the Irish Mom.
So now all you seasoned Bway folks can tell me if Bway equity would allow a college marching band to perform 76 trombones as they did in Wash DC. Some tell me it's a union requirement that it be un

As an attorney, answer is no defamation suit on behalf of MJ unless it began before he died.. Estate would have to show damages to enterpris

I'm an attorney. I answered this question. Again, depends on who is suing whom, for what, and when. Not necessarily too late. See earlier reply on 3/09.
KKC2, Booze in an Irish home is common, not "gratuitous, unnecessary and unauthentic" as you claim, or at least it was then. I thought the play was brilliant. I saw it 8 times with the Irish/Brit original cast and once with the current Americans. Preferred the original cast.
The NY Times review and other articles said it was a show that required attention. It does. It also helped to have a knowledge of the IRA/England conflict decades ago. PBS had a 15 minute segm

You can bring a civil lawsuit for $ damages against a criminal defendant who is in a criminal trial, but the defendant will ask the court to suspend the civil suit until the criminal case is over.
Reason? The criminal defendant cannot be forced to testify at the criminal trial bc of 5th amendment right against incrimin
A dumb question perhaps, but do they speak Shakespeare verbatim or modernize the language? I never liked Shakespeare decades ago in school bc I found it difficult to read. Just wondered.
I love Michael and his genius. Highly unlikely the show will go on. Sexual harassment and assault against an adult is bad, but against a child is toxic.
