Do you see TRAVOLTA as EDNA? ;-) — Page 2

There is no harm in writing. The goal is to get noticed....if you feel strongly about something, do whatever you can.

Personally, I think it's ridiculous that Travolta is even being considered. If I were John Travolta, I would tell the producers that not only would I not play the part, but unless they cast Harvey in the role, I wouldn't even see it! :)

My letter is going out tody! Thanks for the address Corine.

Why not ask Shaiman to put it on Broadwayworld. While they are at it they can ask Robin to become Edna.

Robin is cool, would love to see him as Edna in the film.
Robin as Edna, Travolta as Wilbur. That is great casting.

So where do we send the letters if we want Robin Willliams to ruin the film?

Passion is my middle name.

Love ya Harvey!

Corine2 I LOVE your new icon. Where did you ever find that picture?

As a person living and working in Baltimore, I would be upset if they cast someone like John Travolta in the role. I met him here at the airport when he was flying in to do Ladder49. He is a nice person but god let us be blessed with Harvey in the role. And I do believe they need to have Ricki Lake cameo. She should do something in the show. I think it would be a hoot.

The only one who needs to be considered. Hands down the only choice. It is time Rip gets his big come back!

""Your mistake, Pati, was writing "for obvious reasons." You're writing to Corine. "Obvious" and she are not even acquainted. I recommend spelling it out, maybe something along the lines of "you could end up doing more harm than good, you ninny""

Not a mistake, Namo. Easy,bunky! It was my attempt at being tactful. But since you brought it up...here goes. "Obvious reasons" can mean...

1.When fans write to the powers that be it sometimes appears that they have been coached to do so and who would benefit more than the star seeking the spot? That's one backfire!

2. Not all fans are created equal. For every theater saavy fan presenting valid, logical reasons to cast a certain performer, there's sure as shootin' a gang of fans that will hit them with statments like "What are you thinking? ::blank:: is perfect for that role. Don't you read the reviews? I think ::blank:: is too ...whatever.. to ever do that role. The same thing happened with Melanie Griffith. Stunt Casting never lasts, etc, etc" Backfire # 2/

This is exactly the type of hype that actors shudder over. Not to mention that if you are working in this business in any capacity, general public rallying for a performer
is not the best thing for your personal reputation. If you have inside connections to decision makers...then that's a different story. Move ahead tactfully and privately.

IE: I offered to approach Wildhorn in behalf of BWW's RedHot...now that he's "available". Sadly he (RedHot) declined.
JUST PULLIN' YOUR ROPE!

Look, no bad vibes here,please. Good intentions sometimes go up in smoke and smoke damage is hard to erase. Peace!

So, now I am like really confused. Are we supposed to write that we really want Harvey so the producers WON'T cast him? Thus giving the awful Robin Williams a good shot at it? Or does Corine really want Harvey? What is the deal? And why does this thread keep changing subject titles? Someone help me sort it all out cuz I gone snap!

Namo, it's Sybil, of course. A woman of many faces. I don't have a clue who the foxy stud is.

I just heard, by the way, that John Travolta is out of the running for a couple of reasons. First because of the frantic e-mail/fax campaign forged in his favor to the producers. And secondly and even more importantly, his cult...er I mean his religion won't allow men to wear dresses.

Bumping for the Robin Williams fans. FAX! People,FAX!
