Three EXCELLENT choices. Very excited about this, but I'm meh on O'Brien directing.

We're getting revivals of Carousel and My Fair Lady in the same season. Dying inside from the joy.  I'm personally also looking forward to the inevitable grudge match between MFL and Carousel over which is better.

Oh, THAT's where my money is going next year.

It's good to plan ahead, but I would have preferred Leslie Uggams in the role of Nettie Fowler. #Huckathebejeepers

While Jack O'Brien's track record has been pretty inconsistent as of late, let's not forget that Joe Mantello's track record was pretty much similar until being paired with Scott Rudin last season with The Humans and Blackbird. Not to mention Jerry Zaks hasn't delivered a home run on Broadway until Hello, Dolly! (another Scott Rudin production) this season.

Crossing my fingers for Jenn Gambatese as Carrie.

Here's where I would have preferred a fresh face for Julie and Jessie Mueller is not my favorite performer, but ah well. Excited for Renee Flemming though!!

When I started the thread about the rumor, I at the time had just heard about it during the Broadway Whisperer segment on NY1 On Stage.

Great cast!  I'm a bit skeptical on the creative team, but we'll see what happens next spring.

Could see this going into the Broadway since Saigon is scheduled to close in January.

Love these actors, LOVE this show, but not together. Jessie seems too strong and powerful and big to play Carrie and all I hear about Jack O'brien now is the charlie revival... I'm very excited about Renee Fleming though.

I, too, am a bit skeptical about the creative side. This is a show that requires an incredibly sensitive touch.

Joshua Henry should be able to sing the role- It's not very low and the timbre of his voice will fit the role fine, as long as it's operatically sung.

This cast is fantastic, but was anyone else hoping that the Lyric Opera's production with Laura Osnes and Steven Pasquale would get a Broadway run? I know, my head is in the clouds, and there wasn't any chance even before this was announced, but when I read the title of this thread, that's where my heart went.

I love this show & these choices. I will absolutely be seeing this, I have always wished I had gotten to see the 1994 revival.

I wonder what theatre? Hudson? Neil Simon? (I really doubt Cats will still be open by then). The Broadway seems a little too big IMO

You're definitely not alone with this! I had been hoping for an Osnes/Pasquale duo on Broadway since that production now almost two years ago... but all things considered, I'm quite happy with performers like Mueller and Henry at the lead.

I thought Jack did a great job with The Sound of Music, but i'm just sick and tired of Carousel honestly. Excited to see Mueller, Henry, and Fleming in this though. But not dying to see it. Also agree, wish it was Bart Sher.
