"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

Frasier Dr. Frasier Crane - Christopher Seiber Dr. Niles Crane - Neil Patrick Harris Martin Crane - Mark Jacoby Daphne Moon - Kerry Butler Roz Doyle - Stephanie J. Block

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

Tonya Pinkins - 8 Sherie Rene Scott - 18 Alice Ripley - 13 Marin Mazzie - 13

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 any of those), and he certainly had the voice.

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.

Fantastic clips! Norm looks and sounds great ... thanks!

Audra McDonald, Laura Benanti, Marin Mazzie ... Josefina Scaglione. Edit: Rebecca Luker, although I'm not sure if she's been in anything recently.

It was beyond fierce. Her belt is incredible.

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.

Baker/Baker's Wife: I love the idea of Matthew Broderick and Marin Mazzie! I think it's fabulous, and they'd be fabulous. Witch: Ruthie Henshall Cinderella: ...I'm gonna second Audra McDonald here. She's in her thirties, yeah, but I think she'd be really amazing. Jack: Andrew Keenan-Bolger Little Red: Celia Keenan-Bolger Cinderella's Prince/Wolf: Brian Stokes Mitchell Rapunzel's Prince: Norm Lewis Mysterious Man/Narrator: John Cullum Jack's Mother: Judy Kuhn Rapunzel: Katie Rose Clarke Stepmo...

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 (in a real live production) an...
