Jerry should stick with his Latifah idea. The more I think about it the more excited I get.
I thought I was original in thinking up Beth Leaval! Andrea Martin, who she's replacing in Young Frankenstein, would also be wonderful. I'd love to see Queen Latifah as well.
so I wanted to chime into this one
someone said it a few years back
and I think it needs to come out of the closet
"Carol Channing could always come back and do the BEFORE I DIE tour"
was that mean
sorry I didnt write it originally
"I'm dying to see Bernadette play Dolly. If she could pull of Mama Rose and Annie Oakley with flying colors, Dolly would be amazing."
She's already mangled two classic American musicals .... the only revival she should ever try again is maybe FLAHOOLEY (as one of the puppets).

okay, I adore the idea of Latifah doing this...
What about Jennifer Holiday???
Christine Baranski?
Kathy Najimy?
or Kathy Bates?

"Unless you have someone who is box office gold I feel a big Broadway revival is unlikely to happen."
Fine. How about Sally Field?

I heard a rumor that there's a planned tour of Hello Dolly starring Megan Mullally (sp?)
Since Mullally's pilot got picked up by ABC for a mid-season premiere we can pretty much put that rumor to rest.
