Good question. Wasn't Chenowith supposed to be starring in it? (I can't see her in the role, myself....but....). Again, I may be wrong but I think this needs a 'star' name in it to sell tickets.

The name I had heard was Jane Krakoswki. I would like to see this show re staged in a very intimate setting. And hopefully it is not a carbon copy of the original which has been done regionally and in stock for years.
I'm probably one of the very few who actually liked the 1982 movie with Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds. I loved the music as well. I do recalled it got panned by critics, saying it was a stripped down version of the stage musical - though I've never seen the stage musical.
