| Opening on Sondheim’s 90th is cool. There are also rumors that Matt Doyle is Jamie. |

| I bet Matt Doyle would be wonderful, but I was hoping Olivier Award winner Jonathan Bailey would reprise his role as Jamie. | |

| I heard rumors of Lenk, but also that Lauren Ambrose was being considered - this was a few weeks ago so that may be old news, but I am intrigued by BOTH of these possibilities! | |

| I was sooooo excited for this to come over and then I saw it is starring Katrina Lenk..... To me, and I know others won't agree with me and that's TOTALLY fine, but for me she is soooooooooo boring to watch on stage. Not as boring as Jennifer Damiano, but pretty damn close. Of course I'll go for La LuPone and hopefully there will be others in the cast I will like, but boy was I disappointed to see they weren't bringing Rosalie Craig over. |

| "Of course I'll go for La LuPone and hopefully there will be others in the cast I will like, but boy was I disappointed to see they weren't bringing Rosalie Craig over." We don't know, of course, whether Ms. Craig wanted to go in the first place. For a start, she has a young child, and it's a BIG deal to either uproot your family or be away from them for a period of between several months and a year. And that's without contemplating the various reasons someone who lives in another country might, at the moment, be reluctant to spend time in the US. |

| I thought Craig did fine, but was not anything unique that merited her coming over for this production. But I also am a bit skeptical of Lenk in the role. Hope to be happily proven wrong. | |

| I saw it in London and agree with you on both counts. I loved Lenk in Band's Visit so I know that she's got s**t going on inside, but she doesn't seem the type to bust open emotionally the Bobby needs too. (Felt the same about Craig.) Sorry sweet Jonny Bailey isn't coming but Matt Doyle should be good. |

| Agree on Bailey/Doyle. I saw Bailey twice in London (early in run and then near the end). He was out of control and manic the second go around. I am a tad bemused at those folks who seem to think because of the ovation he received for Not Getting Married Today that he was uniquely successful in this role ... as if any actor competently performing the number would not get the same response. Of course the London staging's business with the priest did have a few special moments, ones I hope they repeat and/or build upon here. |
