THREAD: The once-in-a-lifetime LIVE script read of The Princess Bride by original cast members + spectacular special guests is SO CLOSE!

Here's who you're about to see, once you contribute to Wisconsin Dems at wisdems.org/princessbride 1/

.@BillyCrystal is back as Miracle Max! If you rush a miracle man, you get rotten miracles. But this reunion has been 37 years in the making, so the miracle will be as good as an MLT. Chip in to see it! wisdems.org/princessbride

Carol Kane returns as Valerie—no, not a witch, Miracle Max's wife, and after what she's about to say, you'll be thrilled that she's sure she wants to appear as that anymore! Sign up and watch! wisdems.org/princessbride

As you wish: @Cary_Elwes is back as the farm boy and (spoiler alert, I guess?) the Man in Black. Cary has done heroic work making this whole event happen, and you do NOT want to miss him reprising his historic star turn. Join! wisdems.org/princessbride

He can track a falcon on a cloudy day, and @sarandon_chris has found you: Chris is back as Prince Humperdinck on tonight's #PrincessBrideReunion, starting at 7pm ET/6pm Wisconsin time! wisdems.org/princessbride

As a man of action, lies do not become Christopher Guest. So here's the truth: he's back tonight as Count Rugen, the six-fingered man. Watch! wisdems.org/princessbride

The Impressive Clergyman delivers the unforgettable "Mawwidge" speech. Tonight, we're thrilled to welcome special guest @EricIdle to play the role pioneered by the late, great Peter Cook. Can't miss! wisdems.org/princessbride

The Grandson was originally played by Fred Savage, who has now passed the torch on to another generation: Finn Wolfhard, of Stranger Things, joins us tonight! wisdems.org/princessbride

Narrating tonight's script read: @JasonReitman, a great director, mega fan, and the force behind the recent star-studded home-movie remake on Quibi.

May Andre the Giant rest in power. Tonight, Fezzik is played by comic giant @joshgad, who truly has a great gift for rhyme (some of the time).

Hello. This actor's Twitter handle is @PatinkinMandy. He plays a man bent enacting revenge upon the man who killed his father. Prepare, Princess Bride fans, to be in heaven.

MCing tonight's intro and Q&A: @pattonoswalt!

The Princess Bride was directed by the one and only @robreiner. Tonight, he plays the Grandfather!

Buttercup. @RealRobinWright. If you're a true Princess Bride fan, believe me, you shall be dead by morning.

Shaun Ross joins us as The Man with Albinism, formerly known as The Albino—friendly nurse and maintenance man in the Pit of Despair and noted wheelbarrow donor.

Wallace Shawn. Vizzini. Never go in with a Sicilian when death is on the line.

And joining us tonight as The Ancient Booer (boo! Boo, I say!) and the mother: the irreplaceable @WhoopiGoldberg!

Fix: the amazing @EricIdle's trading card image didn't load right upthread. Here he is! VERY excited about his upcoming scene. #PrincessBrideReunion
