She's reportedly weighing the offer. To be directed by Tom Gustafson, who has some writing and directing credits but is evidently best known as a casting director.
If this remains true to the stage show, I don't see how anyone could be labeled as the "star" since it is 10 scenes and each person has two scenes a piece. Still, VERY excited for this!!!
I suppose they could re-write it to be like David Hare's "Blue Room" (also based on La Ronde), in which one couple played all the roles (and in which Nicole Kidman had a notorious nude scene on Broadway).
Otherwise, yes, there are five men and five women, all with equal sized roles.
I don't know what the appeal would be for a movie version of this. But I confess I'm not a Lachiusa fan.
They need to start bringing more of Jason Robert Brown's work to film. Parade followed by Songs For A New World.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
