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

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.

If I knew Wedding Singer well enough, I'd respond.
