Streep seems an obvious choice (that I imagine will ruffle a few feathers). Would love to see the stage leads repeat their duties but it doesn't seem very Hollywood. Who would you cast?

Meryl Streep is now the automatic choice for all stage-to-screen adaptations with roles for older women?


I chose, and my world was shaken. So what? The choice may have been mistaken. The choosing was not.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Oh...in the MOVIE. I don't really care as long as they do justice to the play and don't JUST cast names for the sake of the almighty dollar.


If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
