If La Cage aux Folles manages to live to the end of his contract, they should get...
Douglas Sills to replace Gary Beach
Any thoughts on this?

Posted: 5/31/05 at 12:29pmI don't think there will be a need to replace Beach when he wants to leave.
You too can be a famous singer with no French accent and wear a Twister game board in just 15 days!! Ask me how!!

Posted: 5/31/05 at 12:31pmSills is too young and besides, I highly doubt they'll even have to find one. He'll probably stick it till the end.

Posted: 5/31/05 at 12:40pmAt first glance I thought the headline was "Idina for Gary Beach's replacement," and was just about to smash my head into the monitor and end it all.

Posted: 5/31/05 at 12:43pmI didn't say he wasn't good (actually I don't see the show until July 23). I just offered Douglas Sills because his voice is very close to that of Gary.

"Idina for Gary Beach's replacement." Well, let's not dismiss this. It might be very exciting casting!

Posted: 5/31/05 at 2:01pmI would have tried to cast Sills opposite Terrence Mann all along. They have proven chemistry on stage, and would have played off each other wonderfully.

Posted: 5/31/05 at 2:59pmSeriously though, if he wasnt in rehearsals for The Odd Couple, Nathan Lane would be excellent, IMO

Posted: 5/31/05 at 3:40pmSills was actually considered for the role of Georges originally, along with Kelsey Grammer.

Posted: 5/31/05 at 3:44pmWith Beach garnering a Tony nomination for the role, I suppose he will stick it out for the show a long while.
And if she'll say, "My darling, I'm yours!" I'll throw away my striped tie and my best pressed tweed, all I really need is the girl...

Posted: 5/31/05 at 3:54pmKelsey Grammar? Thatd be intresting. Maybe cuz im just really used to Frasier but I can just see him going: Go ahead Georges, Im listening.

Posted: 5/31/05 at 3:57pmAs Anothapartof me said, Beach is fresh off his Tony nomination so I'm sure he'll want to stick with the show for a little while longer.
