For the record, a terrible idea, but:
ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT
Michael: Andy Karl
George Michael: Gerard Canonico
George Sr: John Lithgow
Lucille: Patti LuPone (anyone remember the episode where Lucille sings along to Rose's Turn?)
Lindsey: Sherie Rene Scott
Tobias: Hunter Bell
GOB: Raul Esparza
Buster: Norbert Leo Butz (he should also u/s Tobias, if only to see him as Miss Featherbottom)
Maeby: Phoebe Strole
I chose, and my world was shaken. So what?
The choice may have been mistaken. The choosing was not.

Posted: 6/6/08 at 12:57pmJennyish, your Arrested Development scenario is so great that it really makes me wish you were a producer. The only change I would make is for Michale, I would love to see Patrick Wilson do that role.

#32re: If your favorite TV show was turned into a Broadway musical,
Posted: 6/6/08 at 1:13pmI would love to see Patrick Wilson as Michael, although I have a feeling that no matter WHO played him, my heart would cry out for Jason Bateman just a little bit.

I like your cast, jennyish, but maybe go Erin Dilly instead of Sherie for Lindsey...Sherie's kinda beefy for that.
And I'd cast Daniel Reichard as GOB, though Raul isn't a bad choice either.
Dion't forget, Buster also listened to "Rose's Turn" when he had the wine box, thinking it was juice.
Or when Buster recreated his favorite scenes from CHICAGO...
Who's Kitty? and Lucille 2?

I cannot see anyone in the cast of a 30 Rock musical other than the cast of 30 Rock. (Jane Krakowski could have some MAJOR diva numbers!)
HOUSE:
Greg House: Raul Esparza
Lisa Cuddy: Marin Mazzie
James Wilson: Robert Sean Leonard (Why not?)
Eric Foreman: Taye Diggs
Robert Chase: Gavin Creel
Allison Cameron: Erin Davie

Liz Lemon: Julia Murney
Jack Donaghy: George Hearn
Tracy Jordan: Chester Gregory II
Jenna Maroney: Sara Gettelfinger
Frank Rossitano: Dan Fogler
Pete Hornberger: Danny Burstein
I have no idea who could play Kenneth.

#42re: If your favorite TV show was turned into a Broadway musical,

Posted: 6/6/08 at 4:34pmI'd go with Daniel Reichard as GOB, Raul as Buster, and Norbert Leo Butz as Michael. But Patti as Lucille is inspired!

Dammit, I wanted to do 'Six Feet Under' or 'House', but I refuse to pick a show that's already been done. XD
Let's see...
LIFE ON MARS (uhhh... this is gonna take a while...)
Sam Tyler - Neil Patrick Harris
Gene Hunt - dammit, can we just teach Philip Glenister to sing? EDIT: We HAVE to teach Philip Glenister to sing. No one else can play Gene Hunt EVER. It's now been proven.
Annie Cartwright - Jill Paice
Ray Carling - Michael Cerveris
Chris Skelton - Kevin Cahoon
Phyllis Dobbs - Andrea Martin
Actually, most of those were easy to pick, it was only Sam and Gene that took ages. Anyone up for a David Bowie jukebox musical? 
I'm gonna come back and do more later.
(You guys don't watch 'Life On Mars', do you? Bum. 
)
