Dream Next To Normal Cast

Posted: 4/22/10 at 4:18pm

What actors can you see in what roles? Can you think of any celebrities that could pull any of them off? I know there's a few threads about Bobby leaving/Brian joining and the general N2N thread but this one is just for cast ideas. Can anyone else see Gavin Creel as Dr. Fine/Madden?

Julia Murney as Diana, Christian Borle as Dan (even though he's younger than her), Maybe Chris Seiber as Dr. Fine/Madden, John Groff as Henry, haha, or even Noah Weisberg even though he is and looks WAY too old! He's just adorable and I'd love to see it, maybe in Miscast or something. Maybe Harley Jay as Henry, too. Andy Mientus as Gabe, and shoot, IDK who I'd want to play Natalie. I don't care.

Into the Woods, Beauty and the Beast, RENT, Mamma Mia!, Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde, Evita (with Julia Murney), Hairspray (with Paul Vogt), Peter and the Starcatchers (with Christian Borle), Lion King, Altar Boyz, Legally Blonde (with Lauren Zackrin).

Cubby Bernstein! It is to laugh.

I'd pay $100 to see Cubby Bernstein give Barbara Cook electroshock therapy.

Jordan, I really wish your avatar would either swallow or spit in in a napkin. I am sure Todd doesn't enjoy the drama.

In all seriousness, I think if Meryl Streep was a bit younger, she would be good as Diana. She is a very talented actress, and a name that would attract an audience that would otherwise not be interested in the show after Alice leaves. We heard her sing in the Mamma Mia movie, and even if she can't quite handle the demanding score of Next to Normal, I would be forgiving assuming she acts the role very well and boosts ticket sales. Unfortunately, I think she's getting too old to play 39-42, so it seems really unlikely.

Jordan wins.
I'm picturing his cast as those big heads on the doors of the theater.

I second Stephanie J. Block as Diana. That would be amazing. I also second Christian Borle as Dan. Mainly because I love his voice. Hearing the two sing together would be too great for words. I like Bobby Steggert as Henry a lot too. Kyle Dean Massey is my favorite Gabe. I haven't the slightest idea for Natalie...
