Jeeves & Wooster Live

Just got an email advertising this and thought it might be of interest here - apologies if it's been discussed before but I've not been around for a while :)

What do you think of the casting? Not sure I'm mad about the choice of Bertie...

I know I would always be comparing someone to Hugh Laurie, but I don't think that would stop me from watching it, or in fact any production of a Jeeves and Wooster play I could get to, and doing my best to be open minded about the actors. (I would prefer it be a production done with gay subtext, of course!) Almost anyone can play any part if they throw themselves into it. I know the theater I used to work at (run by a distant cousin) did a production of Man of La Mancha and cast a rather tall, thin Maine guy to play Sancho Panza, and the audience ate him up with a spoon.
