Hi
Please could you tell me who the casting director is for this show .
Many thanks
I notice there is no casting for Cherbutagin. It is a role I asked my agent to put me up for, but I have no idea if she did so. So I would simply like to know who got the job?
Thanks for letting me know.
Sincerely yours,
Jeffry Kaplow
