I can't help but marvel at my artwork.

I think Rosie O'Donnell and then Danny DeVito for Pain and Panic.

"Don't we have enough Disney already?"

Well, of course! Disney wants to make MORE money, so they put on MORE productions. The only really good piece of work that came out of Disney...or at least I think...was Aida.

I thought that Danny DeVito was perfect for the part, however - I would not want this to come to Broadway, considering that Hercules was only a modest hit (though very underrated) for Disney.

They would be much better off with The Little Mermaid, etc.

As for Disney musical ideas, I would definitely go with either Hercules or Pocahontas.

Hercules, because it would translate AMAZINGLY well to the stage. And Pocahontas, I think it has GREAT potential. Think of all the coreography potential! All the tribal chants and dances and whatnot. But eh. It's Disney. And I'm Disney's bitch. So it doesn't really matter WHAT they do, I'll go see it anyway.

Last sunday I have seen Aida here in Germany with a friend of mine who has never seen the show before. Interesting was her idea, that the whole show was like Disney's Hercules. I never thought of this but in fact she is right in a way. It is funny, colorful and the beginning with the changeing from today to past is also Hercules-like. It's a bit off-topic but I thought I share this thoughts of my friend.

Hercules-Roger Bart(He sang the song well and I'm sure he could play Hercules amazingly well)
Megera-Lea Salonga, Sutton Foster, or Susan Egan
Hades-Patrick Page(Paige Davis's husband and played Scar in The Lion King)
Phil-no idea
Zeus-again, no idea
Hera-Lea Salonga
Pain-no idea
Panic-Nathan Lane(Is Panic the one with the squeaky voice and is the real tiny one?)

Honestly, I would really like to see this over Tarzan...Hercules would be a really fun, feel good musical with really wonderful sets...all that Greek mythology figures etc.

One could only wish :)
