TRUTHINESS IN MUSICALS: I'll admit I haven't yet bought my tickets for Company, even if NPH as Bobby and Patti Lupone doing "Ladies Who Lunch" almost gets me there, but the announcement that Stephen Colbert will play Harry (singing parts of "Sorry-Grateful" and "Have I Got A Girl For You") and Anika Noni Rose (Wendy Scott-Carr!) will play Marta and get a crack at "Another Hundred People" almost gets me there. The big role not yet cast is Amy, who gets "Not Getting Married Today" (maybe the hardest song to sing in the score because of the rapid patter)--any suggestions for who they should go after?
