He played with you in the sandbox, remember? Now let's talk about your auditions and leave the casting decisions to the people with the power.

"I have never seen him mess up in anything he ever did"

Corine - I guess you never saw Bicentential Man.

I also object to the fact that you want to make every female character a man in drag....

At this point I feel like I'm ready to write a letter URGING them to cast Travolta because I am so sick of Corine going on and on about how she "can't see it" so it must not happen.

And Corny Collins could be 55. How old was Dick Clark on Bandstand.
At this point i really don't give a rats ass. I just like Harvey.

Corny Collins isn't Dick Clark. Apples and Oranges.

Billy Crystal, Robin Williams, Whoopie Goldgerg as Motor Mouth make it a benifit for the Jackie Mason retirement home...I'm so there.

C2, do you have the Patch Adams special edition DVD? There is a great scene that was deleted where Williams is making fun of the crazy people in the mental ward and one of the patients stops him and asks why HE is the one who is not commited to an institution. Robin makes this really funny face and in a totally hysterical voice starts to sing really loudly "Sit down, you're rockin' the boat." All the other patients turn on Patch and attack him. It is soooooo funny. I don't know why they left it out of the final print. But you are right, he would change Hairspray...into the Robin Williams show.

Kevin Spacey would have been a better choice

Kevin as Edna? I like that idea. A lot.

Chrystal as Wilbur is OKAY. I'sd prefer someone like Danny deVito more, but thats just me.
