"Grease," the fourth revival of the season, is the worst show in the history of theater and represents an unparalleled assault on Western civilization and its values. - Michael Reidel

Harriet Harris is almost for sure not going to do it so that name can be dropped.

Yet another vote for Mary Testa!

I also think Judy Kaye and Liz McCartney would be wonderful.

Eartha would be good...but Harvey would be great.
The character of Ursula was actually based on Divine's protrayl of Dawn Davenport in John Wtaer's 1974 film, Female Trouble. Divine also played Edna in the 1988 John Water's film, Hairspay. Harvey was chosen to play Edna in Hairspray beacuse of his "Divine-like" talent. Not to mention Harvey sounds similar to Ursula in the movie.

Harriett Harris, and Betty Buckley would be HILLARIOUS as Ursala.

But, since she DOES have to become a beautiful young woman...Sara Ramirez isn't a bad choice either.

Please god, no Patti.
We would like to be able to understand what is being sang.

Bette Milder would be perfect.

Katy Grenfell would be great in my opinion!
