Santino Fontana as Cornelius in Hello Dolly, Georg in She Loves Me (which I knew he did, but I want a full blown production. He killed it) and eventually Sweeney Todd.
I would love to the see Michael Cerveris as the baker and Audra Mcdonald as his wife in Into the woods.
If only Eartha Kitt had gotten to play Madame Morrible in Wicked!
Sierra Boggess: Empress Elisabeth in "Elisabeth"
Josh Young: Luigi Lucheni in "Elisabeth"
Aaron Tveit: Death in "Elisabeth"
This would be my dream cast if the show ever came to Broadway (even though I think it would do better in London, but oh well).

Now that Rocky is finishing early I would love to see Margo Seibert as Catherine in Pippin, when gorgeous Rachel Bay Jones finally hangs up her hairpiece.
And I'd like to see Andy Karl in anything; if it involves nudity then so be it. I would cope.
Follies dream cast: Jane Lynch as Phyllis, Megan Mullally as Sally, Nathan Lane as Buddy and John Rubinstein as Ben.
Isn't Margo a little young to be Catherine? (the way it is now, it works better with an older Catherine)

dresming, you're probably right actually. What about Jennifer Laura Thompson? She'd be wonderful. I love her as well.

Eartha Kitt would have made a wonderful "Mama Morton" in Chicago!
As much as her stage presence would work, I still think that Mama needs a seriously powerful voice, which Eartha Kitt didn't have.

I made that dream cast based off of Christine Pedi's impersonation of Eartha Kitt (which was spot on) singing "When Youre Good"
Wasen't Loretta Devine supposed to do Hairspray on Broadway or was that just a rumor? I remember hearing about it, but that was all. I think she would have made an interesting Motormouth- but i don't know how big a voice she has for the role, as her voice is pretty high and soft.
I know she played it regionally, but I'd love to hear Andrea McArdle's Eva! Likewise with Annelise van der Pol. Sadly, my other dream Eva was Laurie Beechman. I feel like she would have knocked that score out of the park!
On the subject of role they can't play but should have, if Wicked was around in the 1980's Betty Buckley would have been a killer Elphaba. Same in the late 1990's with Alice Ripley. I think Ripley at her peak would have been a phenomenal Elphaba.
I'd also love to see Stephanie J. Block as Diana in "Next to Normal!"

I actually wonder sometimes, what it would've been like if Betty Buckley played the Witch, or if Patti Lupone did.

I will forever want Idina as Mama Rose.
Someone else mentioned Julia Murney for N2N - yes.
Can Angela Bassett sing? I just finished Season 3 of AHS and I think she would be a fabulous Evillene in The Wiz!

Hugh Jackman as Sky Masterson in GUYS AND DOLLS
Hugh Jackman as Billy Bigelow in CAROUSEL (a middle-aged failure of a Billy adds to his desperation; Julie could be a bit older, too)
