There's only the 3 girls in the play and I'm pretty sure it's the same for the musical.
Couldn't be more stoked for this show!!!

Especially excited for Anneliese Van Der Pol.

Are they going to make the (offstage) husbands, etc., characters in the musical, or just leave it as a chamber musical with the three female leads?
Did anyone happen to catch the "Vanities" touring production of four or five years ago? I didn't see it, but I was on tour at the same time, and it was coming to several venues just as my company was leaving them. It had the most horrifying cast of all time--Erin Moran, Jill Whelan, and Linda Blair. They're all way too old, none of them has the range necessary, and I can't even imagine who played what role!

Posted: 5/11/08 at 8:05pmThe musical just has the three girls - no other characters.
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Why too old? Act III is well after college? (although it does sound like a dreadful cast)
This is one of my favorite plays...and I'm not sure how I feel about a musical rendition....but I'm curious to find out.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

I cannot wait for this!
Lauren Kennedy is long deserving of this; she is such an underrated actress.
YAY! :)

Posted: 5/31/08 at 4:41amSo that's three musicals opening in LA this fall/winter prior to Broadway... Vanities, 9 to 5, and Minsky's. When has that ever happened?
Faced with these Loreleis, what man can moralize!
