I think Lisa Kudrow can sing, I’m almost certain she did so in a movie but it’s a limited voice"
She sure did! Very limited though

Or both!"
He’s definitely a Cornelius, but yes! I think he should definitely continue doing Broadway, he’s very good.

I love this idea! He was such a joy to watch in Holiday Inn.

I don’t think they look that different in age, so I don’t fully see the issue.

Pearl Bailey did an all-black version. Why not get Whoopie Goldberg and replace the white cast with blacks and revive the black cast version.

My dream Dolly would be Reba. And I think that she is a super viable option, she has her residency until the end of August in Vegas, so could essentially start the show in September or October.. Which would allow Bernadette to finish in July, bring in Betty Buckley for 2-3 months, then have a mega-star (Reba in this case) take over. Certainly smart from a producing aspect.

Whoopi as Dolly
Cynthia Erivo as Irene
Denzel Washington as Horace
Chadwick Boseman as Cornelius
Michael B Jordan as Barnaby
Lupita Nyong'o as Minnie
Daveed Diggs as Ambrose
Renée Elise Goldsberry as Ermengarde
Sherri Shepherd as Ernestina

Chadwick as Cornelius would be an absolute dream (can he sing?), but Renée is entirely too old to play Ermengarde and Cynthia doesn’t fit the part vocally very much.

To be realistic (not that I don't love Dream dream dreeeeam casting because I do!)
Whoopi and Brian Stokes Mitchell together would be a dynamite pairing.
