I don't know, I've been watching Shameless for years, I am such an avid fan! I think she would be AMAZING as Celie in The Color Purple.

I disagree. She's better suited for Kim in MISS SAIGON. I'd pay top dollar to see that!

LOVE that idea! I haven't even considered that! Better yet, why doesn't she just play The Engineer?

NO. I want Lea Delaria to play The Engineer. I want Emmy as Kim, Leslie Odom Jr as Chris and Cynthia Erivo as Ellen.

Honestly, I think she'd make the best Effie White, forget about Amber Riley!

You guys are all wrong. She obviously needs to play Bess in Porgy and Bess. She would be WAY better than that hack Audra McDonald.

Isn't she part of the workshop readings for the Broadway revival of ONCE ON THIS ISLAND? I could swear I read she was.

She's almost the right age for Company's Bobby.

I really hope "Emmy Rossum is perfect for *blank*" becomes the new inside joke for this message board.

Maybe for the tour? I'm sure Emmy's got it in Jan Maxwell's bag.

She should get her skin permanently colored green so she can play Elphaba, Shrek, and the Grinch. Or is that considered racist?

Pfffff you're all WRONG. You all must be crazy. If there's one role she HAS to play it is most definitely Rafiki.
