| Of course they're a bit long in the tooth for these roles, and it would be suicidal for a producer to cast them because then it becomes THEIR star vehicle, and they'd be impossible to replace. But I don't think Andy Karl & Michael Urie would sell many tickets. Maybe I'm wrong. I did see the original 'SUGAR' when it first opened, and was very disappointed (especially with Bob Merrill's lyrics.) Then I saw it a second time before it closed, and enjoyed it very much. It's now called 'SOME LIKE IT HOT, the musical' I believe, since it was mounted in London years ago for Tommy Steele. And that new title tune is terrific. But two shows with the same title? I guess, as with 'GONE WITH THE WIND,' it happens. (Though that was called 'SCARLETT' in Japan, originally. I think.) |

| If Andy and Michael won't sell tickets (?) How about James Franco and Jake Gyllenhall. | |

| Lane, that would be good. Broderick, dead from the neck up. No life, no energy, no nothing. Saw him in The Producers years ago; good performance. Lately, big difference. | |

| It's been done in the Chicago area at least 3 times in the last 20 years. I saw it twice as Some Like It Hot -- once with Katrina Lenk and another time with Lenora Nemetz in the cast. It's not great, but I laughed a lot and both productions were enjoyable. Most recently it was staged under its original title Sugar -- at Drury Lane Oakbrook in 2010. | |
