| Wish the wonderful Lindsay would return to Broadway! He hasn't been here since 1986 in the unforgettable Me And My Girl! | |

| Yeah, I like Megan Mullaly, but she doesn't exactly scream Reno to me. That said, I love it when an actor defies my expectations and proves me wrong! I assume part of the reworking will be less intensive choreography for the leading lady (than was designed for Sutton Foster.) | |

| Megan has played several roles in non-Karen Walker style. She has a really good belt voice, she's a very attractive woman, she can definitely play a brassy broad. And, of course, Reno was not originally a dance-heavy role and didn't become such until, in later years, it was rejiggered for people like Ann Miller, Mitzi Gaynor and Sutton Foster. So it seems to me that Megan is very good casting for Reno as the role was originally conceived and played for many years. | |

| First of all, 62 is the new 42 :-) Plus, as far as I'm concrned, Megan doesn't look or act like an old lady. And that's all that counts, not a person's ACTUAL age. I'm surprised you think that's so important. | |

| When Merman played Reno, she was 26. The part was not written for even a "forty-ish" woman. Patti and Sutton both played it when they were in their 30s. And it's not just that Megan is 62, but that Robert is 71, and Felicity is 74. I'm 71 myself, but I'm going to take a hell of a lot of convincing before I'll agree that these people are the right ages to be playing these parts, in this show, at this time. | |

| When Merman played the teenage Annie Oakley (for the first time), she was 38. She did it again 20 years later. So much for a hell of a lot of convincing??? | |

| No, not convincing to me. Yes, I'm well aware that some other people have been wonderful in some other roles for which they were not exactly the right age. But an Anything Goes in which all three of the leads are off the mark by at least forty years does not exactly convince me to buy a ticket. | |

| Not to jump into an argument about age-appropriateness, but just to be clear, Lindsay is playing Moonface Martin, and Felicity Kendal is playing the mother of Hope Harcourt. The romantic leads (Billy and Hope) are younger performers. Also, I saw Chita Rivera as Reno in the Papermill Playhouse production, and she was close to 70 (and fabulous). |

| Thanks for clarifying :-) And I completely agree about Chita as Reno. | |

| Thank you, jwilson, for clearing that up. I didn't read the press release attentively enough, or maybe they've clarified it since I first read it. I have always loved me some Felicity Kendal, but I just couldn't imagine her as Hope Harcourt. Right, then. Carry on, all! | |

| I must say, I had no idea the other two lead actors were as old as they are, though I suppose I should have guessed what Lindsay's age must be. | |

| Rachel York surprised me by doing the choreography in the tour. Tap is something almost anyone can do if they work real hard at it and practice a lot. | |
