John Lennon
New York: Will Chase is in talks to appear in the upcoming Broadway musical Lennon. Chase recently appeared in the world premiere of the musical adaptation of A Little Princess. His Broadway credits include Miss Saigon, Rent, The Full Monty and Aida. He was expected to appear in the Paper Mill Playhouse production of The Baker's Wife beginning in April, but that could change.

Terrence Mann has also been offered a role in the new musical, according to his representative. Mann recently appeared in a benefit concert presentation of Stephen Schwartz's Pippin. On Broadway, Mann has appeared in The Rocky Horror Show, Barnum, Cats, The Scarlet Pimpernel and his Tony Award-nominated turns in Les Misérables and Beauty and the Beast. Off-Broadway, he originated the role of Leon Czolgosz in Assassins and played in the Sept. 11 drama The Guys.

Written and directed by Don Scardino, Lennon will feature 10 actors, all portraying John Lennon at different points in his life. The musical is scheduled to begin previews at Broadway's Broadhurst Theatre on July 7th.
