Chenoweth hints at DOLLY revival? — Page 2

I recently saw Karen Ziemba as Dolly and she was wonderful. With the right director, she could justify headlining a Broadway revival.

She answered that in the clip. She has not been approached for Peter Pan, likely because they are going to cast a male.

"She has not been approached for Peter Pan, likely because they are going to cast a male."

And likely because nobody wants a Peter Pan who sounds like Tinkerbell.

She is a bad choice for Dolly. It truly would be a huge shame if she did it after years and years of waiting for a major revival of this show to happen. It would be a shame if after years of "them" having such a tight grip on the property they would let this travesty occur. And just the same... I think it would be fantastic if the 20th Century revival would happen. She would be magnificent in that part.

aasjb4ever; I have no idea. Whoever has kept a major revival of this from happening. Jerry Herman? Other estates? Bad luck?

Well, since Somethingwicked (who over the years has provided us with almost 100% reliable inside scoop) says it's 100% ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, then I assume it's 100% ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.
I think the video is pretty clear that she isn't talking about a DOLLY revival. She'd be a pretty bad Dolly I have to say, especially since she has now veered very much into a camp version of herself (and I adore her, but saw her a couple nights ago on WATCH WHAT HAPPENS LIVE and was shocked by the way she has destroyed her face with plastic surgery and her Calista Flockhart weight).
Reba would be fantastic. Am I making up the fact she passed on it? I thought someone said that or Riedel wrote that at some point.
