And the rumors won’t go away. Is it true that, for example, that the role of Doody (the youngest Burger Palace Boy who sings “Those Magic Changesâ€) is the only other male part that hasn’t been cast and that Max will be handed it as a consolation prize once Austin takes the lead? And could it really be true that this was all figured out weeks ago?!<

Originally Posted By ToonKirby Well, they won't be getting my money for the cast album ... And what's up with that NY cast? They all looked like they were 40 compared to "America's choice" Max and Laura. And yeah, Max SURE looks like he could be the leader of THAT pack, although one can certainly see Laura getting pushed around by those broads.
Originally Posted By TheRedhead It was really embarrassing when the rest of the cast came down. They easily look 10 years older than the kids who just won, but worse, they look like seasoned actors. My complaint all along has been the talent in this contest MAYBE could get a supporting role in regional theatre. Maybe. But not Broadway. Danny and Sandy are way out of their league. I think the Doody rumor (god, I love typing that phrase) got a little carried away, but really, there's no reason why it had to be related to some fix. It's possible that they purposely didn't cast the part because they planned to put the loser in that part (a part either could play) and make him the understudy. And there's no way they would announce that on the show last night. I guess it's also just as likely that some guy will be cast tomorrow, and this will all be silly. And I hate that I'm this involved.
