Pepa Marcos has a trying 48 hours as
she deals with the relationships and conflicts spinning around her
The Road to Broadway
Some musicals have fairly smooth roads to Broadway, with not a lot
of tinkering, not a lot of bickering. Women appears to be one
of these. An Early Summer 2009 workshop with Jessica Biel, Joanna
Gleason, Salma Hayek, Matthew Morrison and Paulo Szot was so
encouraging there was talk, first
reported by Michael Riedel, that the show might be shoe-horned
in at the end of Spring 2010 for Tony eligibility. That didn't
happen, but in February 2010 Lincoln Center Theater announced a
March 2010 workshop aiming for October 2010 previews and a November
opening. This time around workshoppers were to include Danny
Burstein, Tom Hewitt,
Oscar Isaac, Patti Lupone and Sherie Rene Scott along with Ms Biel.
Casting mid-May 2010 in NYC
In the same article referred to above Mr Riedel mentioned what might
be the one little bump in the road for Women. He reported
that an audition for the
central role of Pepa Marcos had been offered to Catherine
Zeta-Jones, "which, I'm told, she regarded as an insult." So, off Ms
Zeta-Jones went to
A Little Night Music with Angela Lansbury. Life's not too
bad when you have options, huh?
