I would actually like to see Linda Eder do it, she sure as hell could sing it. I don't know how well her acting skills are.

-- "Am I the only one that doesn't want the production to run past Patti's departure?"

No, you are not the only one.

And in reality, it will not run past her departure. (Truthfully, we don't know that it will run UNTIL her currently slated departure. But I certainly hope it does.)

I agree with Dame, Donna Murphy is my top choice.

I second Megan Mullally. I would go and I'm sure I would love it too.
Too bad she has TV commitments. And after YF, I wonder if returning to Broadway has left a bad taste in her mouth. I don't blame her for going back to Hollywood.

Yeah, too bad. I'm SURE they wanted her to replace LuPone.












Not.

Patti is so perfect for the role I can't imagine the show going on without her. BUT, if it does, I would love to see Beth Leavel as Rose. I've become a fan of hers after seeing The Drowsy Chaperone. I think she would be a great Mama Rose. Each actress brings something different to the role, so I don't think it's fair to compare. Btw, I'm new here! Big broadway fan, just never posted before.

I completely agree with BroadwayBound115 & threatXthree; they're my top 3 to do the role after Patti:

LINDA EDER (who sings "Some People" alot at concerts,etc.!)
Carolee Carmello (who would want to do it!)
Christine Andreas (because she should!)

3 of Frank Wildhorn's always lovely leading ladies!

Edit:
"I don't know how well her acting skills are. "
Apparently Linda got major acting lessons for the world premiere of Camille Claudel...not from Robin Phillips this time though (HAHA). Updated On: 6/25/08 at 03:34 PM

After Patti leaves, I would like to see this show leave Broadway. That would be my dream.

In my book, the show's gonna close on the last day of Patti's contract.

[buffyactsing]

Donna Murphy or (it won't happen) Tonya Pinkins

Mattbrain, you wrote a book?

Mary Bond Davis
Lillias White
Donna Murphy
Debbie Gravitte (she might not have the acting chops, though people didn't know Merman had them either...)

After Patti leaves, people will stop accosting her non-famous son at the stage door.

Miss Angela...but she might need a walker or wheelchair. I don't care. I'd still go.
