John Stamos as Lee Harvey Oswald, since he and Neil Patrick Harris both played the emcee in Cabaret? Or perhaps Stamos should join the Sweeney Todd revival as Tobias.
Meanwhile, Michael Cerveris can begin doubling as both Sweeney and Anthony, since Victor Garber, a fellow John Wilkes Booth, also played that role.
And when Patti LuPone gets tired, we can resurrect Lucille Ball to play Lovett, since she took the role of Mame from Angela Lansbury in the horrible TV movie we're discussing in another thread.
Meanwhile, Judi Dench can play the Beggar Woman, since she voiced the giantess in the recent Into the Woods revival, a role originated by Merle Louise.

"John Stamos as Lee Harvey Oswald, since he and Neil Patrick Harris both played the emcee in Cabaret? Or perhaps Stamos should join the Sweeney Todd revival as Tobias."
John Stamos also played Guido in Nine. Could Antonio Bandaras play Lee Harvey Oswald?
Terrence Mann and Chad Kimball were both John Lennon in Lennon, could Terry play Milky White?

Kendra Kessebaum plays Glinda in Wicked. She played Maureen in Rent. Idina played Maureen. Can Idina be Glinda!?
Which leads into... Kendra plays a role Kristin Chenoweth created. Can Kristin be Elphaba?
Anthony Rapp played Seymour Krelbourn, so did Hunter Foster. So did Joey Fatone. Could Joey play Leo Bloom, the role Matthew Brodrick created, who was in H2$, which makes Joey perfect for a the role in H2$. So does Anthony Rapp.

Could Idina play Kathy in L5Y?
Joey McIntyre as Roger in Rent? Cacactacus in Chitty? The Emcee in Cabaret? Riff Raff in Rocky Horror? Jaime in L5Y? Freddy in DRS? Bobby in Company?
Nathan Lane as Sister Mary Clarence in Sister Act?
Eden Espinosa as Maureen, Joanne or Mimi (she and Saycon have played Elphaba... Saycon has played Aida, as has Merle Dandridge)? as Aida?
Neil Patrick Harris as Joseph (Patrick Cassidy connection)? Also, he played the Emcee, so he'd fit into several other roles: Roger, Caractacus, Radames, Riff Raff, etc

Posted: 11/29/05 at 12:05amBernadette Peters was replaced by Reba McEntire in Annie Get Your Gun. Reba played Nellie in the concert version of South Pacific, which was originated on Broadway by Mary Martin, the same actress who originated the role of Maria Von Trapp. Can Bernadette Peters play Maria Von Trapp?

Posted: 11/29/05 at 12:18amHeather Headley originated Aida, who was also played by Toni Braxton. Braxton played Belle, and so did Susan Owen (on the tour). Susan played Christine in Phantom of the Opera. Wouldn't Heather make an interesting choice for Christine? (i know Beyonce was mentioned in a thread once!)
