Caroline Sheen or Rebecca Trehearn, please, thank you and goodbye Was thinking of Rebecca just now! Reading the Variety review, their complaint was the leads were cast too young. They're supposed to be middle age, aren't they?

Rebecca T would be perfect for this.
My initial thought was Caroline Sheen actually- her stock being quite high currently after all the publicity she got for 9-5.
My guess is they will go with the obligatory casting the leads on the younger side. I guess as long as she looks like she is old enough to have her two kids it will be fine.

I wonder if they'll still do the nude scene, with it being such an intimate venue?

You might have a shock! This is the female lead getting up naked out of a bath tub.

How are we five pages into this discussion, with the very second post being a frank admission from Mr B that he's spelled the theatre name wrong, without anyone fixing the heading? It would be super duper cool if some kind mod or other could see their way clear to removing that rogue R.....

I saw this in New York when it played and it was my mothers and my introduction to Kelli O Hara - let's just say we fell in love with her immediately, and what a beautiful score: One Second and a Million Miles quite possibly the most romantic song you will here in a musical... ever.
Can't wait for this, and to see who's been cast.

For the love of God change the thread title. It’s triggering something unusually murderous in me.

Maybe it's being left that way on purpose as when the Menier announce the summer musical and its not the one discussed/suggested the poster can say they were talking about a completely different theatre called the Mernier.

Nevermind the ‘R’, is mrbarnaby confident enough for us to completely change the thread name to The Bridges Of Madison County - Menier Chocolate Factory?

Ah yes, ‘the Mernier’ in Dalston; seats 18. They mostly do wackier stuff that no one wants to see by Jean Genet and Alan Bennett, but have relented when their artistic director Gregor (christened Gregory but he’s a tw@t) was given an 8 track of ‘The Last 5 Years’. He felt it’s pain so much that he sought out other works by its unknown composer. He settled on ‘Bridges’ because someone that looked a bit like Meryl Streep took the wing mirror off his Mini Van (S reg from two times ago) and “it must be a sign”.

I saw the US tour of this in LA some years back, and even without the starry casting of Broadway it was a really special show. Intrigued to know who's directing too...
