Just because it is fun actually thinking of actors (plus I just watched all 5 seasons back to back so it is really fresh on my mind):
The L Word
Bette - Idina Menzel Tina - Rebecca Luker Shane - Alice Ripley (I think AR can easily pull of that androgynous look) Jenny - Celia Keenan-Bolger Alice - Kerry Butler Kit - Lillias White
And depending on season:
Helena - Martine McCutcheon Peggy - Siân Phillips Lara - Kate Levering Dana - Tammy Blanchard Marina - Karen Ziemba Rose - Heather Headley Papi - Laurie Cadevida Jodi - Victoria Clark
This is hysterical and ridiculous! How about... LOST: The Musical Jack: ?? Kate: Laura Benanti ?? Sawyer: Cheyenne Jackson ?? Ben: Michael Cerveris Juliet: Jenna Russell Sayid: ?? Hurley: Carly Jibson or Brian D'Arcy James Locke: Marc Kudisch Sun: Lea Salonga ?? Jin: BD Wong ?? Charlie: ?? Claire: Kerry Butler (of course using her Kira Aussie accent) Shannon: Elizabeth Stanley Michael: Norm Lewis Rosseau: Ruthie Henshall Walt: JJ Singleton Boone: Aaron Tveit Karl: Blake Bashoff Alex: Lea Michele Ana-Lucia: Chita Rivera
The list of LOST characters is endless, anyone have ideas for the ones I missed?

Before I even think of a cast I need to figure out how to have several firey car crashes on stage. A few smaller ones spaced out throughout the show or one huge one? Poor Ponch and Jon.

"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

uncageg, your casting for the Ace of Cakes musical is hilarious. I'd love to see an Arrested Development or Veronica Mars musical, honestly...maybe because I miss those shows so much, but they also would lend themselves to the musical form pretty well. Same goes for South Park.
