Jimmy Fallon Will Reprise 'Almost Famous' Role on Broadway!

Years ago, writer-director Cameron Crowe appeared with David Crosby on NBC’s Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to promote David Crosby: Remember My Name, where he pledged that when the musical came to Broadway, Jimmy Fallon had an open invitation to reprise his role as band manager Dennie Hope.

“I’m speechless,” he said at the time.

Almost Famous opens at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre on Broadway Thursday (November 3).

“In the spirit of the musical and the cast being our ‘band,’ we love the idea of our favorites and future favorites dropping in to ‘jam.’ The whole thing began with Jimmy — as the link between the two [film and musical] casts,” the writer-director told Deadline.

MSNBC journalist John Heilemann also expressed interest in doing a drop-by as David Felton, the Rolling Stone reporter played in the film by Rainn Wilson.
