It cracks me up that someone said that Jennifer Lopez can't act her way out of a paper bag, and then mentions Winona Ryder as Rosie instead! Reese Witherspoon?!? Aside from being a decade too young, talk about whitebread!
I think JLo or Catherine Zeta-Jones are good choices. They would certainly sell tickets if it were a theatrical motion pic. As good as Jessica Grove might be in this also, no one outside of the theater world knows her, and producers would undoubtedly go for a name.
Tyne Daly and George Wendt already played Mrs. Peterson and Mr. McAfee in the TV version ... or was that poster kidding?
I like the idea of Nathan Lane as Mr. McAfee. He is, basically the Paul Lynde of this era. (Meant as a compliment, of course.)
Justin Timberlake as Conrad? Isn't he like eleven years old? He seems it anyway. Let's give it to Marc Kudisch again. But if they want to sell tickets, I guess any old pop star would do. Not a difficult role. Difficult to cast, yes, but not to play. Johnny Depp anyone?
Lindsay Lohan is a great choice.
Did anyone else see the tour starring Tommy Tune, Ann Reinking, Susan Egan and Marc Kudisch years ago? It was enjoyable, but whoever told Tommy Tune he could come across as a heterosexual was badly mistaken.
Itty Bitty Geisha?
Toyland?
Gypsy Pasadoble?
Just a few popular favorites...
