....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.

Personally, I'd like to see her play Paulette in LB...but that's just me...

Ebersole 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.

Calm down, jv. Joke thread, much?

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."
