| 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. | |
