A relative had a heart attack and died during the overture to a local college production of "Hello, Dolly!". He would have thought it was hilarious, so I think of him fondly when I listen to the score. His wife also went back to see the

Bettyboy72 said: "Wouldn't matter what flag it was. Not appropriate during a curtain call. It's a time for actors and audience to connect. Not to mention if your flag is blocking my view I'd be pissed. The only thing acceptable during this curtain call is a child holding an "I love Elsa" sign or something along those lines. This dude is the definition of douche-Frozen is a family/kids show. If he had done that at War Paint he'd be dead right now."<

If Judy Garland had lived...can you imagine? She does a little "Hello, Dolly" on her Judy and Liza at the Palladium album. Really a shame she never played it!

Judy Garland's last movie, "I Could Go On Singing", has a great plot and there are a number of Adele tunes that fit well. As much as I loathe all the jukebox musicals, I think there's enough theatricality in her music and juicy enough of a plot.

I'm a HUGE Amber Iman fan, so I'm excited to hear her sing Martha's two big numbers.

"I Am My Own Best Friend" from Chicago. Not in the movie and absolutely phenomenal! I believe there's a YouTube video of Liza doing it solo. I second "There's Always a Woman" from ACW.

The score to "Mack and Mabel" is so delightful. It's a pity the book is so bad. Any idea if Herman or Stewart's estate would allow someone to work on it. I would love to see Annaleigh Ashford as Mabel.

Bernadette Peters and Rodgers and Hammerstein

I just discovered 2002's "Bernadette Peters Loves Rodgers and Hammerstein". Her "There Is Nothing Like a Dame" is a particularly good arrangement.
Other than TV's "Cinderella", in which she was fantastic, I can't find any record of her performing in a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical. She's done Berlin, Sondheim, and now Herman, but no R&H. I can't find a history of her off-Broadway, tour or regional work (if th

"Damn Yankees" and "How to Succeed" have great, largely male casts. If you're flying scenery, both work. You could totally fly Finch in the opening of "H2S", as he appears as a window washer in the beginning.

Faith Prince would be a phenomenal choice, and I thought her "Before the Parade..." on her last cabaret album got to the heart of who Dolly is.
Long shot--I'd love to see Andrew Keenan-Bolger as Barnaby Tucker.
