Richard Harris as King Arthur in 'Spamalot'! Wouldn't that be genius?
There are so many good roles for James Coco in the Producers!!
I would also like to see Coco try and belt out Burrs in Lippa's Wild Party since he did play that role in the Raquel Welch film.
Or Maybe Coco could try his hand at John Treacy Egan's Role in Little Mermaid??

In anything.
Dare I say Coco in a warthog suit? Tom Alan Robbins better watch out!
I need to see Elvis Presley as Link Larkin.
Laurie Beechman was taken way to young (and hell, you could fill Times Square with young gay men who were taken way, way too young. F*CK Reagan for never mentioning the words AIDS.)
But beyond that, I would love to see Tamara Geva or Vera Zorina, to see f they really were good dancers, compared to today's quality.
And Astair and especially Victor Moore and William Gaxton. We have almost no trace of them as singers on film and they were the Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick of the 20s and 30s.
Is John Lithgow dead?
I'd like to see him as the Stage Manager in a reimagined production of Thornton Wilder's play 'Our Town' or as Narrator/Mysterious Man in 'Into The Woods.'
Lithgow is not gone.

Lithgow was just in ALL MY SONS this season - duh.
Guys, I was joking. Do you think I seriously thought he was dead? I was merely plugging one of my favorite actors by means of a little off-colored yet harmless comedy.
C'mon...wouldn't you like to see him play those roles?! :)
Michael Bennett- What a tragedy. That's all I'll say.
Frank Loesser- He might not have lived till 2009, but he should have been with us a little longer.
John Larson...and I second Jason Raize for In The Heights!
