Of course Patti in "Gypsy"
Fantasia in "The Color Purple"
The entire revival cast of "HAIR"!

Love. I have not been this excited about a revival since I heard about Patti Lupone playing Patti Lupone in Gypsy!

Looking at this production it looks far from ghetto. Im talking thousands of bucks far from ghetto...just saying. It would be more accurate to call this "2009 Dreamgirls-The Aristocratic version"

Hottest are Gavin Creel and Idina Menzel.
Most beautiful and perfect in every way are Raul Esparza and Audra McDonald. Brian Stokes Mitchell is a close runner up!

What do so many people have against Sutton? I think that she has a good voice, she is a great actress and dancer and she is very fun to watch on stage. I don't think that she would be the best choice for Eva but God knows she isn't the worst. I also love the idea of Karen!!! What do you guys feel about Kerry Ellis (assuming she gets some well needed acting classes)?

I just noticed that I put "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" which is NOT a musical. I didn't notice the Musical part...im not dumb, I promise. :) Anyway, I have some more to add to my list
Gypsy- I hate all of the film versions. Imagine Mama Rose being Liza or Barbara's return to the screen!! gah...chills just thinking about it.
Funny Girl- As much as I enjoy that movie I would kill to see Amy Adams take a stab at Fanny!!
Rent- I adore the original cast but my Zeus they are too

poor kids. I have been in some pretty bad versions of good shows though and, like me, they look like they know how horrible it is. This is what Karen Olivio must feel like.

The Art of Scenery Chewing

Im still not quite sure what it means to "chew" or "shread" or "rip" the scenery. I know that it is positive and it seems like the louder you are the more scenery you are chewing (Patti LuPone seems to have lots of scenery in her system) but what the does it actually mean!?
