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
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.
A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.
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.
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 Elizabeth Gillies as Violet in Violet Ariana Grande as Glinda in Wicked Kate Rockwell as Lauen in KInky Boots Celia Keenan Bolger as Sally Bowles in Cabaret Updated On: 7/5/14 at 10:27 AM
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'.
