Good/Bad Casting Game

Here's what you do:

1. Put in name of character and what show.
2.Give good and bad examples of casting.

Ex:

Edie Beale, Grey Gardens

G: Donna Murphy
B: Patti LuPone

I'll start:

Effie White, DREAMGIRLS

I think Patti LuPone could probably pull off Edie....

Aida in Aida

G. Most everyone
B. Michelle Williams, the voice was not strong enough.

bwayfan4life, I have to disagree about the voice of Michelle Williams not being strong enough for the title role in "Aida."

While her tone sounded a bit too young and her acting was a bit too restrained, I thought her vocals as a whole were quite on point. She even hit the big high note in "Dance of the Robe," which alot of actresses post-Heather couldn't do.

Although she wasn't a revelation in the role, I think she deserved alot more credit than she got.

Bernadette Peters, Patti LuPone, and Betty Buckley in just about anything
