The Kennedy Center, no doubt inspired by Lyric’s recent outstanding production of Stephen Sondheim’s Follies (that’s Amanda Dancsok as the showgirl in the photo), is mounting its own version of the show, and casting has just been announced.

 T-time Tony winner Bernadette Peters will take on Diane Burrows’s role of Sally Durant Plummer, multiple Tony nominee Jan Maxwell will attempt to live up to Donna Trainor’s outstanding performance as Phyllis Rogers Stone, two-time Tony nominee Danny Burstein will do his best to outshine Edward Willett as Buddy Plummer, Ron Raines will try to fill Jeff Tonita’s shoes as Benjamin Stone, and Olivier Award winner Elaine Paige will play Norma Lemmerick’s role of Carlotta Campion. Playbill continues:

The production will also star Terrence Currier as Theodore Whitman, Christian Delcroix as Young Buddy, Rosalind Elias as Heidi Schiller, Colleen Fitzpatrick as Dee Dee West, Lora Lee Gayer as Young Sally, Michael Hayes as Roscoe, Florence Lacey as Sandra Crane, Linda Lavin as Hattie Walker, Régine as Solange LaFitte, David Sabin as Dimitri Weismann, Kirsten Scott as Young Phyllis, Frederick Strother as Max Deems, Nick Verina as Young Ben, Susan Watson as Emily Whitman and Terri White as Stella Deems.
