A little known fact is that in the original screenplay, Pan's Labyrinth was Pan's FLAByrinth. Hmmmmmmm...glad they changed it.

Posted: 7/13/07 at 8:33pmJesse. And keep Idina the hell away. How about we cast someone who actually cares about the show and knows the character? Not some screechy "actress" who will do nothing for the show except bring in annoying Wicked fangirls and wouldn't know Maureen if she bumped into her on the street.

Wow, can't believe I'm sticking up for Idina...
Of course she couldn't know anything about the show? She only originated it and all...she wasn't screechy until "Wicked".

Jesse.
and I have to agree; keep Idina the **** away.
You know, I'm sure back then, she loved the show, and knew the character. Now, she just...Have you people seen RENT10? She isn't that person anymore. She's so...something she can't connect to Maureen on even the tiniest level anymore, and if affects her performance even more than her lack of talent.
And, also, if that woman mooed or, you know, talked ever again, I swear to God, my eardruns would burst.

None of them.
If I had to pick one, it would be Jesse L. Martin.

Oh, goody! Another thread for slinging the mud at Idina Menzel!
In my silly dream world, I'd like the whole cast to go back because I missed it the first time around. As far as who I have the biggest desire to see back in the role...Idina.
In the real world, none of this would ever happen, nor am I sure that I'd want it to.

Posted: 7/13/07 at 10:06pmJesse. Hands down.

Posted: 7/13/07 at 10:19pmI agree... Idina Pretzels couldn't remember a damn thing at RENT 10. But then again, she can relate to her character because she is such a damn diva now. I loved her 1996.. now it wouldn't be the same. I want Kristen Lee Kelly back. That lady is a fierce cookie. Or Mr Martin. His collins was ground breaking. Gosh this brings me back to before I was a teen... with the OBC =D I feel blessed I got to see them "way back when"

Parody post right? Right? No one can be that cliched...

I'd say Jesse, but I think the only time it would really work would be if he was returning with Rapp and Pascal, which he is not. Any of them returning on their own is extra levels of desperate. I'd say it'd be a whole cast or nothing sort of thing.
Now, she just...Have you people seen RENT10?
Rent10 was not a full in character performance, it was a slightly beefed up anniversary concert with little rehearsal. Not to mention the fact that most people basing their judgments on it were not actually there.

I think we've found the longest avatar ever in this thread.
And... I don't know. If I could pick any two to go back, it'd be Adam and Anthony. So I'm a lucky girl.

Posted: 7/13/07 at 10:45pmI wasn't saying she was out of character. I'm saying she looked like she had little to no affection for the show, didn't want to be there, and just...she acts like it's something in her past that doesn't matter. That's what I meant.

Right. But every single one of the other cast members at least attempted to be in character. Idina, not so much.

She kind of seems that way about everything these days. But it's just too presumptuous to halfway state it as a fact, or say she's incapable based on shallow personal interpretations of her manner.
