I agree, they would've been much too old -- I understand Sheik and Sater like the actors to be young enough to look the part and connect to the innocence of a child.<br /><br />I'll be upset that John Gallgher Jr. isn't in it though, he was absolutely fantastic, my absolute favorite actor to have ever been on stage in this production.<br /><br />I'm surprised though! Considering that Lea Michele has found so much recent success in the mainstream with Glee, I would've expected them to go for OBC. You know, bigger actors, bigger gross.<br /><br />But I thing that's a good sign. They're focusing more on the actual movie than publicity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743503367468758601.post-54793799363384854092010-04-29T09:30:13.531-04:002010-04-29T09:30:13.531-04:00@Anonymous: Definitely sure.
