CUBAN = Desi, REDHEAD = Lucy. I fail to see the problem with the title. Would “The Redhead and the Cuban” be more to your liking?

It's handled.

Well, the lead’s credits are en pointe and just based on their professional headshots, the casting is also en pointe: you can already see them in full costume.  

Now, have the Arnaz duo (Lucie and Desi Jr) given their approval?   They control the estate of their parents.

Glad to see Van der Pol will be onstage again! She is a real talent, and totally underrated. 

I hope she performs in NYC sometimes soon. This seems like the kind of thing that could play New World Stages or Theatre Row.

I didn't know Pegasus was still around!  I remember seeing a gay adaptation of Blithe Spirit (can't remember the name of the play) there 30 years ago.

I was hoping that Storm Lineberger's big announcement was the new Fieyro in Wicked or Dmitry in the Anastasia tour but I'm glad he's getting work!
