"THE GOlDEN GIRLS!
Angela Lansbury-Dorothy
any other ideas?"
As great as it would be to have Angela Lansbury play Bea's role, she's too old. I'd envision GOLDEN GIRLS casting to go something like --
Dorothy - Joanna Gleason
Blanche - Marin Mazzie
Rose - Christine Ebersole
Sophia - Angela Lansbury

Anyone notice that, in the cast list below the article, John Mahoney wasn't listed as Arvide anymore? That's a shame.
Looks like a great cast, though (although I'm still a little unsure about Jessica Biel). Can't wait for the YouTubes! XD

Once I cast Les Mis entirely with performers who are either very old or dead right now. I don't remember most of them... but a few were
Howard Keel (or was it Alfred Drake?) - Javert
Judy Garland - Fantine
Kathryn Grayson or Julie Andrews - Cosette
Frank Sinatra - Marius
I may be a little skeptical of my Sinatra casting ... although he did play dorky/adorable/lovebird roles very well back in the day (see "Anchors Aweigh" or "On the Town" or a

YES! I was surprised that Audra hadn't gotten more mentions up until this point. She has the most gorgeous voice I've ever heard on a woman.

Haha! This thread made my day, it really did. Hugh's a very handsome guy, in my opinion, but those shots are out-of-this-world hammy.

It changes so often... Les Mis is a sentimental favorite. Kiss Me, Kate is my favorite comedy. South Pacific is probably the most all-around brilliant show I know, West Side Story runs a close second. Ragtime is my favorite score.

Of people who are still alive and performing? Stokes. It's not even close, in my opinion. Not the best male voice on Broadway ever, but if you ask me nobody else these days can touch him.

I agree with Schmerg when she said Mann for the Judge, if he has the requisite low range. He looks the part, he just might sound too .. tenory.
Philip Quast as Sweeney
Audra McDonald as basically anyone in ITW (I can see her being an amazing Witch, Baker's Wife, or Cinderella)
Brian Stokes Mitchell as Macheath in Threepenny, Cinderella's Prince in ITW, Agwe in Once On This Island
Aaron Lazar as Tony in WSS (Heck yes.)
Michael Arden as Dickon in the Secret Garden (i
