Has anyone heard anything about casting for Second Stage's upcoming production of Dogfight? I know they've started rehearsals but I can't seem to find anything that indicates who's in the show.
I actually asked at 2nd Stage the other night and was told it would "be announced" soon.

"What's next? Snow Black and the 7 Swaggers? Shasquirta and the Beast? 101 Weavematians?
Willis in Ghettoland?" - Dave19, in reference to the new ANNIE remake.
I've convinced myself that a certain actress is going to be in this show, and she just posted on her Twitter that she can announce what her next project is tomorrow, so hopefully we'll have an announcement then!

Let's just say she's leaving her Broadway show today and her name sort of rhymes with Whimsy Penheads. And if I'm right, I'm gonna freak out because she's absolutely perfect for the part in Dogfight.

Well then that would be fantastic. She's perfect for the role and it couldn't happen to a more talented person.

Mendez actually resembles Dogfight-era Lili Taylor quite a bit.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body
So she's ugly enough to be a believable dogfight contestant?
Is Max Crumm in it? He tweeted the other day that he was going to sing for Joe Mantello, but that seemed like an odd way of phrasing that he was starting rehearsals.

I still don't understand why they didn't announce the casting BEFORE they got into rehearsal? It makes me think that either someone dropped out at the last minute, OR there was some weird Davenport-ian clause in Lindsay's contract that she couldn't promote other productions while under contract...blah blah blah. It's just a weird situation.
They just began rehearsals on Friday, and they're announcing tomorrow. It's not like they've waited a terribly long time.

Nothing near an official press release, but she's credited as such in this photo on Tony Sheldon's blog (emphasis is mine)...

Did anyone else picture Sarah Stiles in the Lilli Taylor role?
"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter
