DEH N2N benefit concert idea

I'll add this to my list of pipe dreams, such as Bernadette as Lovett or Patti/Bernadette in War Paint - but how amazing would it be if Michael Greif directed the DEH cast to perform a benefit concert (or two) of N2N using aspects of the DEH set?

Diana - Rachel Bay Jones (whose vocal style, ability and acting in DEH to me sounds so perfectly aligned with the role that she could have originated it)

Dan - Michael Park

Natalie - Laura Dreyfuss

Gabe - Mike Faist (cut that hair!)

Henry - Ben Platt

Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden - Asa Somers ( Mike's understudy, who played Dan in the US tour).

It'll never happen, but I imagine it to be something like the Australian Wicked production, who did a benefit performance of "Into the Woods" using parts of the Wicked sets. One can dream!

It'll never happen, but I need it to.

I think this is such a fabulous idea!!! Even if they just did selections form the score ("I Miss the Mountains" "Light" etc. You know, the big ones) since it's such a long score. I'd love to see it as a benefit or a 54 Below show or both! It could raise awareness for mental health. I'd buy tickets in a heartbeat.

ETA: Though, I will agree to disagree on one thing... that hair can stay :)
