Besides the Christine Baranski produced in Washington, DC last summer and the concert version starring Sandy Duncan which was done somewhere recently, I haven't heard about a revival.
I think that TV movie version needs to be made, but not with Cher. I think Raquel Welch would make a good Mame with, maybe Bette Midler as Vera?

Age has NOTHING to do with anything when it comes to acting. It's an actor's job to 'play' any age -- within reason.
Dustin Hoffman was 31 when he played Benjamin in the 1967 film THE GRADUATE -- the character is 20-21. Anne Bancroft (at 36...5 years older than Dustin) played the much older Mrs. Robinson.
I can go on endlessly with the age discrepancy between actor's real ages and their characters, etc.

Would love to see Queen Latifah in that role. I think she would be incredible.
