Two Irish wolfhounds land roles at the Met

NY Daily NEws: "A pair of the world's tallest breed of dogs, a not-yet-fully-grown, brother-and-sister Irish wolfhound duo named Gracie and Murphy, has been sniffing around the fountain at Lincoln Center lately."

It's always fun using animals in a production, but Irish Wolfhounds are definitely the ultimate dog to use. I find it extremely humorous that Zimmerman's dog was also present at the rehearsal. I've found it wonderful how much theatre people seem to love dogs and always have them around at the theatre. At the playhouse this summer not a day went by where either actor, director, managing director, ME, or someone else's dog was present. But as far as the dogs in the production, The wolfhounds specifically, I think the biggest factor IS their size, you can't quite imagine how incredibly huge they are without actually seeing them in the flesh. I bet they look great on stage.
