I doubt we'll see a Broadway revival anytime soon, unless an A-lister decides they want to play Nathan. 

Nevertheless I agree she'd be a great Adelaide but she's not nearly a big enough name to build a commercial revival around. I wonder if she would consider doing it at a place like Papermill?

She has time. Adelaide could easily be a little older than Annaleigh is now..

Annaleigh was originally announced to play Sarah Brown but I believed she withdrew to do Hair on Broadway.

Ouch, I'm glad she never played Sarah Brown. She's totally wrong for that role. Definitely better for Adelaide (though I don't feel a particular need to see her in that role either)

There are many roles Ms. Ashford NEEDS to play.  She's one of today's true gems.

I want to see her do Drowsy Chaperone 15 years from now.

I need to see Jane Krakowski (in New York) and Megan Mullally (by all accounts brilliant at Carnegie Hall) first. Ms. Ashford will be a great Miss Adelaide some day.
