I recall a few people on the board dreamcasting:
Sally-Renee Zellweger
Phyllis- Catherine Zeta-Jones
Buddy- John C. Reilly (Amos)
Ben- Richard Gere
And I think Queen Latifah as Stella was in there, too
Though it's not necessarily MY dream cast, I understand the reasoning behind these choices. CZJ could easily pull off the glamorous/regal aspect of Phyllis.
Zellweger could pull off the look for Sally, I think, and she could pull off the "young and girlish" aspect, however, she can't sing the part.
John C Reilly could pull off the "husband who loves his wife more than she loves him" (kind of like how he played Amos in Chicago, but much less of a pushover), and he would do a wonderful "Why Don't You Love Me Blues" and "The Right Girl".
Gere, in my opinion, is an all-around excellent choice for Ben.
