This is super far fetched, but I think Jack Black would make a great Elder Cunningham in Book of Mormon. He's too old, but I feel he would be great.
I would love to see Jack Black as Eddie/Doctor Scott in The Rocky Horror Show.

Nick Jonas as Jack Kelly in Newsies

Theatregeek6, if you are able to get to St. Louis in August, you'll get your HELLO DOLLY wish. Beth Leavel is scheduled to play Dolly at the Muny from August 11-17.
Nathan Lane as Thenardier in LES MIZ and Amos in CHICAGO
Patrick Wilson as Josh in If/THEN
Sierra Boggess as Belle in BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
I really hope Liz Gillies plays Reno Sweeney in the future! She was great in 13 and I think her voice would make a great Reno! I think also that anyone that played elphaba in the past could probably play Elizabeth in if/then and maybe people that played Roxie in the past could do fastrada in pippin!

@ethan231h I'm so glad and pleasantly surprised to see that people remember Liz Gillies. It gives me hope for her future on Broadway. The last I heard she was working on some horror movie with Keke Palmer but it would be great to see her do theatre again

It'll never happen now, but I've always wanted to see James Avery as Willy Loman.
I have always dreamed of Vanessa Williams as Velma Von Tussle in Hairspray. I think she would be PERFECT.... except for her race (but with a little makeup she could totally pass for a white woman on stage.) LOL
Donna Murphy as Rose in Gypsy
Marin Mazzie as Sally in Follies
Adam Pascal as Judas in JCS
Brian D'Arcy James and Christaine Noll as George and Dot/Marie in SIPTWG
I'd also love to hear Raul Esparza sing The Phantom.

I actually want a cable network to put on a live performance of Follies starring a mixture of legendary Hollwood and Broadway actors and Actresses. I would love to see Meryl Streep as Phyliss because her "Could I Leave You" would be absolutely wonderful. However, this event is only possible in my dreams.

I've been telling anyone who will listen for about the last two years that it is time for a She Loves Me revival with Betsy Wolfe as Amalia.
Seconding She Loves Me but adding Abby Mueller as Ilona.
James Monroe Iglehart as Prof. Harold Hill
This will never happen, but I've always wanted to see Marin Mazzie as Ursala...
Will Swenson as Robert in The bridges of Madison County
Stephanie J. Block as Elizabeth in If/Then
Kate Rockwell as Catherine in Pippin
Andy Mientus as Pippin in Pippin
Linda Lavin as Berthe in Pippin
Aaron Tveit as Josh in If/Then

^^ I second the idea of Andy Mientus as Pippin. I wish I thought of that myself
Adam Pascal as Judas in JCS
Maybe in the Nineties, but after hearing him for the last few years, I'm not particularly sure he could do this. Judas is very vocally taxing.
I was going to say Kelli O'Hara as Dot in Sunday In the Park With George… but I just googled it and realized that she was in a production of it at UCLA’s Freud Playhouse in 2007. I didn't want to start another thread on this, but I'm wondering if anyone saw it?!
Steven Pasquale as Javert. For some reason, as soon as I got out of seeing Bridges one of my first thoughts were, "he would be great in Les Mis!".
Ethan, I would LOVE to see Stephanie J. Block in If/Then! Let's be real, I want to see her in anything.
^Though I actually would like to see Kelli O'Hara someday play ether Desire in 'A Little Night Music', The Baker's Wife in 'Into the Woods', and/or Mother in 'Ragtime'.
