So will Daddy Warbucks be a name?

[Leadingplayer]

Who could do it?

[HBP]

Would it be stereotyping to say Michael Cerveris?

[CurtainPullDowner]

Too short, Warbucks is usually tall to make Annie look smaller.

[madbrian]

John Larroquette would be perfect, but with The Best Man extending, it seems unlikely.

[dramamama611]

A bit too old, no? He's sixty-six! (Love him, though) I really can't imagine who it might be....


I can't imagine it would be too much longer until we know.

[ClapYo'Hands]

Paulo Szot <3

[MrMidwest]

Kudisch, baby.

[Gothampc]

Hugh Laurie

[SondheimFan5]

Cyntia Nixon still has the hair from it from Wit.

[Wynbish]

I second Kudisch

[gvendo2005]

I second Hugh Laurie.

[defyinggravity2]

P.J. Benjamin, though WICKED doesn't look like it's closing anytime so soon, so I don't think he'll do it. He would be good though.

[theaternut]

It is Christopher Seiber.

[Johnnycantdecide]

I wonder if they are looking for name for Rooster?

[xxdrewboy85xx]

The only "name" they are going with in this revival is for the role of Cecile.

Trust me.

[ucjrdude902]

To be honest, as far as I know they don't have a Warbucks set in stone yet. Still talking to people.

[themysteriousgrowl]

Whoever it is, he'll probably have a name.

[Visceral_Fella]

I don't think they'll get a person with a big name for Warbucks. I wish there was some type of research to support this, but I feel like unless it's a male heavy show or some other similar circumstance, getting a female "name" brings more success than bringing in a male.

[someone.else's.story2]

Hugh Laurie! That is actually an intriguing idea.

[Gothampc]

They will cast rotating star names in the role of "A Star To Be".

NYC, just got here this morning
3 bucks, two bags, one me

Those lyrics will be sung in weekly rotation by

Angelina Jolie
Meryl Streep
Glenn Close
Judi Dench
Maggie Smith
Viola Davis
Halle Berry
Madonna
Adele
Lady Gaga
Brooke Shields
Maureen McCormack

[themysteriousgrowl]

Nah, Hugh Laurie's too small a name.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has twice as many letters.

[The Josh]

^If that's what they're looking for, I won't accept anything less than Beezow Doo-doo Zoppitybop-bop-bop.

[Joviedamian]

Even though he may not be able to do it..Ron Raines would be a great Daddy Warbucks. He is not too big of a name...but..but..if they want a BIG, BIG name, then I say Donald Trump!

[themysteriousgrowl]

Who we got?

Zingelbert Bembledack, Tringelbert Wangledack, Slut Bunwalla, Klingybun Fistelvase, Dindlebert Zindledack, Gerry Dorsey, Engelbert Humptyback, Zengelbert Bingledack, Engelbert Humperdinck, Vingelbert Wingledanck.

[ActingIsLovee]
