The word on the Street is this, hons--
If I were one of New York City's top composers or directors, and found out I had just snagged Jessie Mueller--still wowing them at the Sondheim in here heartfelt, TONY winning performance in "Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"--for my latest project, I would be dancing from the rooftops!!!!!!!!!!!
But not Diane!!!!!!!!!!! She is playing Miss Coy, like she has no idea what has going on, and is not even aware of Jessie.
Like, who can not be aware of Jessie? And second, Diane, get over yourself!!!!!!!!! Just because "Pippin" worked out, you are still in a lot of trouble with the prospective "Finding Neverland," so, frankly, you need Jessie more than she needs you! Everyone in town wants her!!!!!!!!! And for good reason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The project Jessie has been nabbed for is an interesting one, with a checkered past--a musical adaptation of the 2007 film "Waitress," starring Keri Russell, and written and directed by Adrienne Shelley, who, in a tragedy too great to be fiction, was murdered on November 1, 2006, in her Village apartment by some scumbag construction worker named Diego Pilco, who went to robe her, she discovered it, so he killed her, staging it to look like a suicide. For which he got a 25 years prison sentence.
I don't know if the musical will deal with all that, but it is scheduled to begin at the American Repertory Theatre, in Boston, where "The Glass Menagerie" started. Why Diane is being so coy about Jessie is beyond me. Any project is lucky to have Jessie with it, as it will boost street cred, plus the millions devoted to Jessie will flock to see it. I plan to already, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, Diane, don't screw this chance up! Otherwise you will never bounce back--just like Julie Taymor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jessie, I can't wait to see you in this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
