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.

Cook as Clara is GENIUS!!!
You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl
"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

There 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.

I hate Passion with a passion...I'd rather see Garland as:
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
