How about Jennifer Garner? Didn't she train as a dancer? I also think she can bring a goofy sweetness as she did in 13 Going on 30.

Looks like Menier's production of Sweet Charity will be making a stop in Toronto! Is this any indication of a step towards a Broadway-transfer?
Yet another extraordinary woman takes the spotlight in the great Neil Simon, Cy Coleman and Dorothy Fields musical, SWEET CHARITY. Our tuneful tale of the big-hearted Charity and the girls of the Fandango Ballroom, is an exciting new staging from Britain's cutting-edge Menier Chocolate Factory Theatre.

We don't need any more of your pretentious crap "SERIOUS" versions of what used to be fun.
But the whole black-brick-wall aesthetic mostly seems uncreative.
Interesting comments. Especially since the production of La Cage I saw in the West End was nothing like either of those descriptions.
And not all of the Watermill/Menier productions transfer to the West and/or Broadway. Just the ones that producers believe will work on Broadway. It's hardly the fault of the British.
Sour British Minimalist-Reductionist-High-Concept-Miss-the-Boat-Entirely-Throw-Out-the-Baby-With-the-Bathwater Charity.
Keep it over there.
The other option, of course, is to let Broadway produce what it wants and you buy a ticket to what you wish to see. If the show should transfer to Broadway, audiences will determine whether it stays or not. So what? I think it would be sadder still to see Broadway enforce some sort of censorship with a narrow-minded view of how any show should be revived.
