Seems likely. Eternally jealous of anyone who gets to see Amy as Diana.

Because this got the most interest and seems to be the most anticipated show, I think they will drop the casting news on Monday morning.  

Do better Second Stage!

Just looked at the cast recording time and it’s 1:30 so I guess it’s going to only be a concert and no dialogue...I’m very excited for tomorrow. Eager to know the cast...99% sure it’s Amy Spanger as Diana (very thrilled about that! I’ve always wanted to see her sing this score).
I wonder who else will play the other Goodmans...

I’m so upset by this, and not just because I can’t go. (Thanks 2nd Stage) but I feel we’ve also been misled by 2nd Stage as well. First we heard that the shows wouldn’t use any original cast members, and now this show, the most anticipated one, is using the entire original cast. It’s really just rubbing salt in the wound.

If second stage had allowed non subscribers to be there tonight, I was first in line to buy tickets (literally) but to announce this the day of the concert.... it’s like one punch after another. I’m so upset right now. I’m sure I’m not alone in this. Not being able to see my favorite show, a show I saw 6 times... it stings.

The announcement of these casts has been so poorly handled.

I mean yeah it sucks, but what would’ve announcing it earlier  had done for you? Handled poorly sure but they never said they weren’t using original casts, that’s just what Jason Robert Brown seemed to have just slightly mention.

I will never understand why this is being held at Second Stage and not AT LEAST at the Hayes.  The demand for this far exceeds a tiny 200 seat theater.

Look at it as an incentive to become a high-level donor ($3,000+) or subscriber. It's a way of saying thank-you to the people who have consistently supported Second Stage throughout the capital campaign and the acquisition of the Hayes –– many of whom were probably around when they produced the original run of N2N.

When they held this show back for subscribers only,I had a feeling this would be special.  So I took a chance and bought a two show subscription just to be able to get a ticket.  I’m so glad I did.  I never saw the original cast, so this will be a treat.

I’m sorry but this makes 0 business sense. They should have hired out a large venue and made a **** load out of a historic event like this. So silly. Very curious to hear how Ripley sings the role now.

There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic.

I am confused as well, and I agree it was planned so poorly.  This could have played to a much bigger theater, but maybe they wanted a very intimate, special performance. Have a great time tonight for all who are going!

I was there last night and it was such a special night. Unlike the other 3 concerts, this wasn’t a shortened concert version of the show, rather it was an actual concert. We were told it was supposed to be 80-90 minutes, but it was more like 65-70 minutes. Pretty much actor sang at least twice and when it came to the OBC they would sing songs of other characters. Anthony Rapp came out st the beginning of the show and told us there would also be songs from older iterations of the show, like the show began with “Feeling Electric.”

The 3 biggest moments, that I sensed, were Aaron and Jenn singing “How Could I Ever Forget?” (you actually saw Alice and J Robert Spencer tearing up after that was performed), Alice singing “I’m Alive” (she sounded great and got a midshow standing ovation), and the most special (and expected) part was at the end when the OBC sang “Light” and the rest of cast joined in.

I was also lucky enough to stagedoor last night. I guess cause the show was a “subscriber only” show, there were only about 10 people waiting, which shocked us all, but we weren’t complaining since it wasn’t bombarded by stans/tweens. The entire cast came out, signed, and took pictures. The OBC were nostalgic and talking about how special the night was and how they all couldn’t believe it’s been 10 years. Honestly, it was wonderful special night.

That sounds like an interesting night and special. I hope they can regroup for an actual reunion of the show though in character at some stage.
