I don't know if anyone saw the article the other day but there is a new musical about the life of Tammy Faye being written. Just wanted to see who everyone thought would be a good Tammy.

Well, Bernadette Peters has already played the part, in a TV movie with Kevin Spacey, maybe she'd like another crack at it.

Looking like that is Tammy's Dream.

I think Bernadette is not the right look. I can't believe I am going to say this but what about someone more along the lines of Kristen!

Kristen can bring more to the plate as Tammy Faye then anyone else can. She's got the right 'in your face' look and personality to pull-off Tammy Faye's essence. I think it's a perfect fit -- just as she is for Dolly Parton.

I don't think she's right.

Alice Ripley? Anyone?

She can play a large age range and she has a country sound?

Thoughts?

My Dream Tammy is Ms. Emily Skinner.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Either Bernadette or Emily.

Chenoweth doesn't look near old enough, and Alice I just can't see.

The only one that could do the role justice is Faith Prince.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Tammy is tiny and frail. I don't think Emily nor Faith fits that persona.

Well she might be tiny and frail but she has to have a powerful presence for sure. What about Mary Testa(lol)
