Barbara Cook as Glinda is such a great idea. A young, beautiful, clear-voiced Cook would do wonders with the role. How about Barbara Cook as Clara in PIAZZA?
Also love the idea of Merman as Carmen in CURTAINS, Chita Rivera would have made a great Georgia.

"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor
"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

Posted: 4/7/08 at 7:17amThere are numerous roles I’d like to see Ms. Garland in, but first and foremost I’d like to see/here her as Fosca in Passion.

Desirée in Night Music
Psuedolous in Forum
Cora Hoova Hooper in Anyone Can Whistle
Joanne in Company
Phyllis in Follies
The Witch in Into the Woods

I actually want to see a young Judy play Louise. Just to see her do something out of convention.
and then older Judy as Grizabella.
