Cast your 7 Roses in a hypothetical NYC concert of GYPSY (one Rose per song), similar to what occurred in London this past weekend.
The only criteria: It can't be someone who already played Rose on Broadway/West End or filmed.
The songs are:
SOME PEOPLE
SMALL WORLD
MR. GOLDSTONE
YOU’LL NEVER GET AWAY FROM ME
EVERYTHING’S COMING UP ROSES
TOGETHER, WHEREVER WE GO
ROSE’S TURN
My list! I decided to go with only Tony winners:
SOME PEOPLE – Renee Elise Goldsberry
SMALL WORLD – Laura Benanti
MR. GOLDSTONE – LaChanze
YOU’LL NEVER GET AWAY FROM ME – Sutton Foster
EVERYTHING’S COMING UP ROSES – Jennifer Holliday
TOGETHER, WHEREVER – Harvey Fierstein
ROSE’S TURN – Audra McDonald
In no particular order...
LaChanze
Audra McDonald
Donna Murphy

Mr goldstone: Kristin or Lillias
You’ll never get away from me: Donna Murphy (and victor garber)
Everything’s Coming up Roses: Heather Headley
Together: Lea Salonga, Jose llana, and Ashley park
Roses Turn: Meryl (don’t necessarily want to see her do the show as much as the others but if she could put it all into this one number for one night? Hell yes). Or can I just have Patti do it again?
