Those are good (if pretty obvious) choices.

 

 

 

Not that Fierstein isn't but I selfishly want his performance preserved. smiley

Lol I completely understand, I've been wanting to see John Goodman do this role for a very long time, not actually thinking he ever would. I honestly didn't know those were obvious choices, I've never seen anybody bring those two up

Louie Anderson is already playing a woman on TV: as Zach Galifianakis' mom in FX's delicious new series BASKETS.  No need to have him do this also for HAIRSPRAY: Live!

^ and doing it brilliantly, IMO. He's the best thing about that show. 

John Goodman would be an inspired choice for Edna. 

I think James Corden could do it too.

That's fine I was just naming some people that I thought would be interesting choices for the part. I don't think him playing a woman in another tv show should prohibit producers from taking a look at him. I was reading a article on people.com or et online, I cant remember which one, and they suggested Channing Tatum for the role of Edna( due to his lip sync battle with Beyonce). I stopped looking at their casting picks after that lol

I've been told Jennifer Nettles is out as Velma, Jessie J has been approached and shown interest though.

From my understanding the goal is to have the entire cast locked in place (give or take with Tracy) by Upfronts.

Not sure if this was mentioned on any thread here. But did anyone see Cher's tweet the other day?

"Worked on perfume yesterday,wearing it 2day.Almost perfect.Think it needs dash more Vanillia..& it's Perfect.ASKED 2 Do GREAT MUSICAL 4 TV"

I wonder if it's a new one for Fox, or might it be HAIRSPRAY?

You guys really need to stop dream casting skinny people as Edna.

And a step to the right------Brisbane/Australia in April is presenting a 6 show season of Hairspray with an extremely versatile and professional cast. It is to be an arena style show [as they did with Cats] and a 'chorus' of over 200 who all PAY approx.A$400.each to be in the show. Great idea and gives would-be's professional experience and the company a swag of $$$s upfront.

A live audience would make sense for all the Corny Collins Show scenes plus the rally near the end. I hope they do it.

John Goodman was rumored for Broadway but passed due to his health concerns, right? Would he be too old to do it now, with his health and weight under better control?

It literally says "dream casting" in the title of the article.

Brick, I would pretty much die if Cher was in this or any of the live musicals. Could she really be talking about HAIRSPRAY?

I don't know! It's possible there are more on the horizon, since 3 networks are doing them now.

But Cher is HAIRSPRAY does have a perfect camp quality to it.

PRAYING to the theater gods (Sondheim) that Cher is cast in Hairspray. This would be everything.

The NBC website has the first official logo for the production. I absolutely love it!

Can Cher pull off Velma, age wise? The mere idea of her seducing a Nathan Lane (hey, Cher is wishful thinking too!) in a joke shop is giving me a very happy feeling. But I still don't know... I want Kristin Chenoweth to get that part.

 

I think Ted Cruz should play Edna. #whyamIpersecuted

Hmmm... I think they're going to put Harvey Fierstein in for Edna. He is wildly known for this role. I definitely see Steve Martin as Wilbur. Jennifer Hudson is so young for this role. I see someone such as Patti Labelle or Darlene Love. As for Link, I would pray that they tap Aaron Tveit. Neil Patrick Harris would be an excellent Corny Collins, or maybe Jim Carrey! Ana Gasteyer would be perfect as Prudy Pingleton. Without a doubt.

most of your ideas are cray-cray except for Patti. Patti LaBelle as Motormouth is a GREAT and REALISTIC suggestion.

In re: the artwork.

Woah, NBC, don't spend too much money on a logo.
