Posted: 8/17/07 at 5:39pmWhy a huge announcment for Derek and nary a mention of Kevin? He was my favorite on that show. Not for Danny, just for generals. Why no love for Kevin Greene????

Posted: 8/17/07 at 5:39pmI was wondering the same thing myself. I wasn't even sure if it was the same Kevin.

Posted: 8/17/07 at 6:29pmGabelle is a limited role. I have only seen presentations, but the only scene I remember that character in is very short.

Posted: 8/17/07 at 6:34pmWoah, Natalie Toro. Haven't heard a word about her since Evita in '99.

She sings the hell out of Out of Sight, Out of Mind. I can't wait to see her perform it in a full production!

They'll sell far more tickets if they change the title to A SALE OF TWO TITTIES.
Mark my words!

Posted: 8/17/07 at 6:48pmWooohoo! Joe Cassidy! He's a lovely person with a lovely voice. CONGRATS JOE!

Posted: 8/17/07 at 10:59pmI just left Kevin a congratulatory comment on myspace. I'm so excited that he's getting this chance as well. He has a great voice but often came across as "stiff". I often playfully referred to him as "Frankenstein's Monster". It's one of the reasons he didn't go further in the competition. He didn't have the "looseness" needed to a Danny Zuko type character. But this is a great opportunity for him - no matter how small the role.

Posted: 8/17/07 at 11:53pmNatalie Toro has been touring with Neil Berg's 100 Years of Broadway. I saw her at a couple of concerts just recently. What a great voice! She's a lovely person to converse with, too.

Posted: 8/18/07 at 12:59amGlad James Barbour's still attached despite his...troubles. He really is a great talent. They did a good job of finding a Darnay that really looks like him too.

Amen! Does anyone know how big a part he has?

Posted: 8/18/07 at 4:22pmErnest Defarge is a supporting role. He has two songs where he sings either most or all of the song. (Up in the Garret, Until Tomorrow). He also has large solos in several other songs. (The Way It Ought To Be, Little One) He is more important in the first act, but it seems he has less power in the second because there is a reversal of power between him and his wife. Nothing you wouldn't know from the book if you have read it.

Has any one heard anything about how Saturday night's audience took to the show? I know the "official" reviewers won't see the show until the last couple previews but I was just curious on how things went over.
Son_of_a_gun, it seems your searching skills may be superior to mine and I thought maybe you might have found something.
