COME TO MY (TICKET) WINDOW: Two somewhat odd pieces of Broadway casting:
- Anderson Cooper will pre-record the voice of "The Book" in the upcoming Daniel Radcliffe-led revival of How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying, which was played by Walter Cronkite in the last revival.
- While Billie Joe Armstrong takes a week's vacation from his limited engagement in American Idiot, Melissa Etheridge (who's already halfway to EGOT--1993 and 1995 Grammys for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Female and an Oscar for "I Need To Wake Up") will play the role of St. Jimmy, which is a traditionally male part.
