Lol - so many replies talking of how they will do their best to catch it. One even talks of bringing a catcher's mitt to Row BB. A long time ago, I went to see CHICAGO in London. At the end of the show, the two lead ladies would throw a rose each to the audience. One landed on my lap. Ha!...Then the other landed on my lap, too. Double ha! Lightning striking twice  |

Hugh made a reference to a character in a Bond movie whose killing weapon was a sharp-bladed hat rim.

I wonder where they will do their rehearsals? The Winter Garden is free, although they may already be constructing some of the sets? Doing it in a studio incurs additional expenses ( presumably they are already paying rent at the Winter Garden). Plus it is easier to imagine how it works on stage when it is rehearsed where it will be staged. Also, this may accelerate doing the technical rehearsal process which happens closer to the opening of previews in normal times. Lighting, sound system, the movement of the sets, etc.? Plus there will be room for the orchestra easily. Maybe they might do some of the initial process elsewhere such as the dance routines or the songs elsewhere and then move to the Winter Garden early? Hope we get updates every now and then? Paging Hugh Jackman  Jo |

Hoping a more present outlook to freshen up the revival can further strengthen its chances for the Tony Best Musical Revival category.

Are they doing rehearsals at the famous Pearl? Jo |

Follow series of congratulatory tweets to Max Clayton -- www.instagram.com/stories/maxmclayton/2694786863079519857/Check out STORIES on this page ( his avatar encircled with red) Will he have a chance to perform  All Jackman Standbys for his Broadway shows never got to perform ( Hugh never missed a show).

Max seems to be pretty popular - check out the replies from Broadway co-workers on his being chosen as Hugh's standby. http://instagram.com/p/CVlrqZOvMnF Also, the choice of a fairly prominent Broadway dancer -- does this mean that the Harold Hill role will be enhanced with a lot more dance routines? It looks like tap will be one of the changes to the choreography? Jo |

It looks like Jerry Zaks is pursuing what he has highlighted in the Variety interview -- that is a romantic story!

The cast announcement from the official Twitter Page shows a photo for each cast member!
That's a pretty diverse cast!
