"Gilmore Girls" Star Graham Cast in Guys and Dolls Revival

Lauren Graham, who played Lorelai Gilmore on TV's "Gilmore Girls," has been cast in the upcoming Broadway revival of Guys and Dolls.

Graham will play Adelaide opposite the Nathan Detroit of the previously announced Oliver Platt. Additional casting will be announced shortly.

Tony Award Des McAnuff (Jersey Boys, The Who's Tommy) will helm the revival, which will feature choreography by Sergio Trujillo. Performances will begin at the newly refurbished Nederlander Theatre Feb. 3, 2009, with an official opening scheduled for March 1.

In a statement lead producer Howard Panter said, "We are thrilled with the casting of Lauren as Miss Adelaide. She is the perfect combination of leading lady and natural comedienne and I know she will be the ideal romantic foil for Oliver Platt's Nathan."

Actress Gilmore, last on stage in the 2002 Williamstown Theatre Festival production of Once in a Lifetime, added, "To be making my Broadway debut in this role, in this musical, is truly thrilling."

	I played Adelaide once in art school. I also have a squeaky voice and I am short, yet spunky. Lauren has none of these qualities. Go let her be Sarah or someone else. The Hot Box is not for you. (Reply to this) (Thread)
