....every role that was ever written for any actress or actor ever.
Let's start....I'd really like to see her play Rumpleteazer, Rafiki and the cheese grater.

Posted: 8/6/07 at 12:58amPersonally, I'd like to see her play Paulette in LB...but that's just me...
A little known fact is that in the original screenplay, Pan's Labyrinth was Pan's FLAByrinth. Hmmmmmmm...glad they changed it.

It's like writing "Norma Shearer for the win!" in a Joan Crawford biography.

Posted: 8/6/07 at 6:39amhmmm, Christine as Norma Desmond... Loved her 'As If We Never Said Goodbye' at the Kennedy Center.
Why, hello Margaret! Yes darling, half past five. Well, everyone, simply le tout Park Avenue and la creme de Hyannis! Well, the press table's going to be awfully crowded... but if you don't mind sharing a folding chair with Harper's Bazaar... Sing? Me? Heavens no, it's Edie's day, not mine... Although people can be so insistent, and I hate to disappoint. Twist my arm, blackmail me, threaten my very life, and who knows? You might get a verse of something...

Posted: 8/6/07 at 10:57amEbersole should play everything ever written. Okay, yeah, great. She just ended a tiring run in a marathon of a show. She's exhausted. She also has a family that I'm sure she'd love to spend some time with. Let's let her rest for a while before we start thinking of how great she'd be as Vera Simpson, Mama Rose, Mrs. Johnson, etc.

I know it's a joke thread, and that it's been brought up before, but I think she'd be brilliant in Dear World. Maybe Encores! could do it? I find myself thinking about her in that part frequently.
Ooh! I'd also like to see her in Applause.
And while it'd be nice to see a whole production of The Grass Harp, I wouldn't need the whole thing if I could just hear her belt out "Baby Love Miracle Show."
