Posted: 7/15/08 at 10:40pmI 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
In the words of the great MargoChanning

"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).

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

Posted: 7/16/08 at 4:20amI heard a rumor that there's a planned tour of Hello Dolly starring Megan Mullally (sp?)

Posted: 7/16/08 at 4:33amSince Mullally's pilot got picked up by ABC for a mid-season premiere we can pretty much put that rumor to rest.
