alright, i've had this crazy idea for a thread for a while now, but millie has finally given me inspiration to create it.
a majority of the actors on broadway are VERY talented. many can play any part they want. some roles we can't picture them in while others we say they would be perfect for.
now, we see people take over roles as replacement. let's look at the chains of people who have played different characters. now, suspending reality, can you imagine them playing the same roles?
here's an example:
Idina originated Elphaba. Shoshana took over. Shoshana was an understudy for Tracy Turnblad. could you imagine Idina playing Tracy? or Marissa playing Elphaba?
What if Shoshana went into Dirty Rotten Scoundrels? Sherie Renee Scott originated Amneris, Idina was a replacement in that role, and Shoshana replaced Idina (as stated before). Could you picture Shoshana playing Christine Colgate?
just think back to different people who have played the same characters and connect. it's interesting what you come up with!
