Fun Fact: When David Hyde Pierce did Ask a Star for Broadway.com during his run in Curtains, he revealed that he actually did the show as Charlie Brown when he was in junior high school. Except he was only in Act I as they wanted to cast as many people as they could find. @3:24

Wonderfully unexpected. I can't picture it...but in a way I find enervating. I'm VERY curious to see it now!

That is incredible casting for Charlie Brown, holy cow.
In other news, Encores again lists two guest music directors this season (Meg Zervoulis Bate for Charlie Brown, and Sam Davis for Spider Woman), with no creative team announced yet for Hallelujah Baby. If the always-busy Mary-Mitchell Campbell is going to continue the trend of conducting a max of one show per season, it feels like she’s unnecessary as the in-house music director and they might be better off just hiring an MD on a per-show basis that best fits the style of the show?

Subscriptions go on sale next week so having some cast in place probably helps drive subscription interest. HEIGHTS is not on the subscription (and maybe they want to announce the ITH principals all at once).
