The big news, from my perspective, is that Karen Olivo, who plays Vanessa in In The Heights, will be Anita, which is kind of great. Josefina Scaglione is Maria, which I can see, but I’m not yet convinced (and like my mom says [even though she doesn't want to say it in public]: “they couldn’t find a Puerto Rican girl to play that role?). I don’t know many of the other names, but the bios are pretty interesting. At the very least, this is going to be the sexiest cast on Broadway.

I think my actual comment was “What – they couldn’t find any New York Puerto Rican actress talented enough to play that role?”
