The people you mention for your phantom casting call, Talisa have all been used time and again by The Production Company. I'd like to them to go out on a limb like they used to when they first started and have a few unexpected names.
P.S. I very much doubt that Prior would do Camelot again she did it back in the 80's with Richard Harris, she is also maybe a little old for that role now. I'm almost willing to put money down that cast Marty Fields (again) as Hines in PJ game.

So PJ game is on huh? I think Marty Fields would be great in it. He keeps getting gigs because he's a good versatile all rounder. Fairly good singer, good actor (did you see him in Blue Heelers? Scary.), fair dancer and really funny. And Camelot's a chance? Ugh.

Well, I'm glad to see a Lerner and Loewe show but Camelot is not my favourite. I agree that Marina is a bit past Guenevere, and it will be good to see somebody new in the role. No ideas yet though. There's a huge list could play Lancelot, but I'm curious to see who they'll cast as Arthur.
We've already discussed Thoroughly, and I don't know the Pajama Game. But all is good.

I really don't know who they'd cast as Arthur. It's a type of role that doesn't really come up all that often any more.
Word is, though, that Chloe Dallimore might be playing Millie. I really would have preferred Amanda, but I'm sure she'll do well.

Hmm. Chloe would be good. She has that same lankyness that Sutton Foster gave it. But I'm not sure the wig'll suit her  James |

Is CAMELOT a definite?

From the number of sources I've heard or read mention it, it looks that way.

Observations:
* No word on Lancelot, Muzzie or Mrs Meers yet! Plenty of juicy casting to come.
* "Peter Alexander presents The Pajama Game" ;D Do you suppose their workers will get ideas?
* The promo shots really suck this year.

Yes, but with Ian as Syd and Rachael as Gladys, they'll be playing other people's partners, which'll be interesting  I was going to say "Didn't they do that in Eureka", but then I thought better of it. Lucky eh? James |

How on earth are they going to costume CAMELOT? It really requires lots of chainmail etc. Surely they aren't going to use the costumes from the 1975 production of MORE CANTERBURY TALES as they have in the promo shot?

The Production Company promo shots are rarely a reflection of anything.
