I hope these are allowed!
I don't do the casting game much, but I was really hung over this morning, listening to my London cast album of Night Music (revival w/ Judi Dench) and started casting the all star concert version in my head. All major roles must be played by a star no further down than B list with at least one major movie credit or stardom on a TV show. Here's what I came up with. Play along!
Desiree: Meryl Streep
Frederick: Kevin Klein
Mdme. Armfeldt: Shirley Maclaine (Postcards from the Edge reunion)
Charlotte: Bebe Neuwirth
Carl-Magnus: Hugh Jackman
Anne: Anne Hathaway
Henrick: ????? (help me out here...must fit the criteria)
Petra: Toni Collette
Fredricka: Brittany Snow??? (girl from AMERICAN DREAMS??)
Fun stuff. Of course, it will never happen. But just imagine, sitting in Carnegie Hall, hearing that glorious score and watching major stars tear into their roles. All dressed perfectly.
Swoon.
