words = taken right out of my mouth.

Its not about the trend, its about the quality of the interpretations (which have IMO gone down).

I could see Bernie in the Hawn role and personally find Sherie too young for it.

Gleason would be great in Keaton's part.

Bette's part is most likely too tough to cast... (i.e she should reprise it)

But this, when you see the film, just has musical splashed across it. I just hope they get the rights to "You Dont Own Me"

Gleason: Annie
Mullally: Brenda
Peters: Elise

I dont get why Elise would be african american for.

Maggie Smith and Victor Garver reprising their role would be heavenly

Doesn't matter if you don't get it. That's what it is.

How about they just make Elise human?

I heard a rumor that Stockard Channing was being sought for a part. Would she be reprising her cameo role from the begining of the film? Haha.

I just think it would be hysterical...
Whitney Houston in First Wives Club - The Musical

Her big number could be "Kiss My Ass". She could sing it when she is yelling because they don't have any charges trumped against Bill.

Does ANYbody else miss musicals not based on movies? Yuck, I'm sick of this trend.

Technically this could be considered based on a book. Actually, I would love it if it was more like the book. Brenda (the Midler role) would become a lesbian then!
