I'd love to see Jon Hamm do an Encores concert version of "Nick & Nora". It's not a great show but I think it could be ok for a concert version.
If not, perhaps a movie where he plays Nick Charles?
No. But he makes me sing.
Johnny Depp is planning to play Nick Charles in a Rob Marshall movie.

"Johnny Depp is planning to play Nick Charles in a Rob Marshall movie."
I was hoping that idea didn't see the light of day. He's not a good choice.

forget singing - can he come to Broadway in a play like...
- Little Dog Laughed
- Some Men
- Strange Interlude
- Love! Valour! Compassion!
- Terrorism
- Take Me Out
Does Jon Hamm Sing?
Does it matter?
Does Jon Hamm Sing?
Only in my shower.
Does Jon Hamm Sing?
Like a racehorse! Wait--what was the question?
I hear he only sings with his mouth full.

Don't forget, Hamm participated in Roundabout's reading of The Philadelphia Story alongside Scarlett Johansson and John Krasinski, directed by Alex Timbers. The production was supposed to open this fall, but got pushed to next year. Let's hope it opens next year and with that cast!

He played Czolgosz in Assassins and Cliff in Cabaret at Mizzou, but the director cut or rearranged all of Cliff's songs and solos because Hamm couldn't sing it well. He let him sing The Gun Song and Czolgoscz's solos because he thought Hamm's gritty and off-key voice worked well, and he acted the songs well.
Seeing his longtime g/f tonight, if he's in the audience I'll ask him.

I want to see him as Henrick in A Little Night Music. That's not too terribly difficult vocally is it?
Or maybe Cladwell in Urinetown. Or Applegate in Damn Yankees.

Logan, do you mean Frederick? If he can sing, that would be a great role for him.
I did mean Frederick. Thank you, Other One. I also think it would be interesting to see what he would do with something like Little Me
On the other hand if he can sing the thought of him as Sweeney turns me into a pool of quivering mush.
