Posted: 10/6/04 at 5:39pmHas there been any more news on this? I remember it being announced a few months ago but I have heard nothing else about it. Has a cast been announced yet?

Posted: 10/6/04 at 8:36pmJ Tartaglia would be an AMAZING PIPPIN!!!!! "Purpose" is so "Corner of the Sky"-he even looks the part!

Oh my GOD!!! Thank you BWB88. I seriously remember reading that article on Playbill.com MONTHS ago, and getting SO excited for it and thinking "OK, I'm NOT going to miss this one!" ......and then it disappeared. I was thinking about it the other day and wondering if I hadn't notice that the date of the article was really old or something. I'm thinking, maybe it would be the 2005 Actor's Fund concert? That would be cool. And I wouldn't hate more JTags, he's excellent.
So we can always hope that Seth with pick it up.
Andrew, tonight isn't about you! It isn't even about me!!! - [FD]

Great minds...!
Last time I talked to Seth about the Actor's Fund concert, he honestly had no idea what he wanted to do next year. If I get a chance to talk to him tomorrow, I'll try and remember to ask him if he knows anything.

For me, the one and only Pippin will always be John Rubenstein. I saw him in the original cast--he captured the required innocence needed for the part PERFECTLY.
Regarding show, not one of my favorites, although Bob Fosse had some very creative ideas and Ben Vereen is always a pleasure to watch.
What a shame that Irene Ryan passed away while in show. . .

I wish I would have been able to see John Rubenstein in it. I love his voice on the recording.

Glebb,
Of course, you're referring to "Drop That Name," which also refers to:
Mary Pickford and Ethel Barrymore
For all the marbles, please tell me the LAST NAMES of Ella's friends named Mary and Ethel.
