LOL. Actually, the original published scripts suggests that Mrs. Paroo was around 14 when she gave birth to Marian. (I've mentioned this here several times.) Mrs. Paroo is described as being around 40 in the stage directions. No age is given for Marian, but Harold guesses that she is around 26. How about Victor Garber for Trotter, Nathan Lane for Christopher Wren, Len Cariou for Giles, Anita Gillette for Molly, Penny Fuller for Miss Caswell, Frank Langella for Paravicini, Bambi Linn for Mrs. Boyle, and John Cullum for Major Metcalf. :)

According to today's Times article about this upcoming production, the producers claim they will reproduce the West End production exactly. Well, good luck with that. Based on what I saw a few years ago, an exact reproduction will give all who missed Moose Murders a chance for witnessing a stage murder mystery catastrophe. Your dream cast seems just about right. All performed with walkers or in wheelchairs. Or as an alternative: Paging Sam Gold!
