WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE THE FEELING OF UTTER BITTERSWEETNESS THAT I FEEL.

1. CRAZY NUTS GOOD CAST
2. I CAN'T AFFORD TO GO



I GUESS IT'S MOSTLY SADNESS.
Salome

While I disagree with most oft he casting the one thing that would make me see this is... VANESSA REDGRAVE AS MME. ARMFELDT!

Richardson seems well cast..but the rest? I love Garber but dont see him as frederick..Barnaski isnt the right type for the countess..she's way too American. Benanti/? ugh.. don't get me started. Kudish...he's decent but I was never a fan.

I think it's a brilliant cast!

Now, all it needs is Kristen Bell as Fredrika and I'll walk to NY if I have to.

Isn't she a little old for Fedrika?


I mean, she looks young for her age but she's 28...I don't think she could pass as a 13-year-old under any circumstances...
Berger

I would love to see this!

She played Fredrika back in 02 and 04. She hasn't changed much since then. There's a video of her on Youtube singing the theme song to Fame. It was absolutely delightful.

Garber's played the role before, Michele Pawk was Charlotte in that production, I don't recall the rest of the cast.

Cast Replacements

As if in answer to Salome's deepest prayers, Laura Benanti has had to withdraw from the concert because of a vocal infection. According to Playbill, she will be replaced by Jill Paice.

Jill Paice was very good in Curtains...still not who I would initially pick for Anne but I think I can see her in it moreso than Laura.
Salome

SomeoneLikeYou

Ahem...I will be playing Fredrika. Surprise!!!!!

Nope, I'm just kidding. Only some wishful thinking. Lol, but this sounds quite interesting. I've only recently explored ALNM and loved it so this is convenient for me!
