Only time will tell.

I don't know how many people visit this messageboard. It's curious though since this thread in particular has nearly 4,500 views.

I guess it's just you and me for now, kid

Perhaps it is a typo, it should read 4.5 views.

Nice to have you back. We all hope it's not Shane.

I still say Mick Molloy is a good choice.

Blaaah! I told you I won't have it.

Welcome back rosscoe, now there are three.

I'm sorry but you lost credibility when you suggested Wilbur Wilde

Can you honestly see the lowlife Mick Molloy even being able to maintain any sort of
American accent...and he can't act...or sing. It would be the worst piece of casting since Paul Mc Dermott in EASTWICK.

Paul McDermott was in WITCHES OF EASTWICK??? My God, I saw him in January in Opera In The Domain's CANDIDE, and he was cringe-worthy!

I'll renounce Mick Molloy if you can prove to me that Wilbur Wilde can act and do an American accent.

I never said he was my idea, I said a friend suggested it and thought it workable. Still do but it won't happen any more than Mick Molloy will. There is another very valid reason why Molloy couldn't do it but I can't go into it here.

Do you think Rob Mills could be in it ? Suits the mould.

I think Mills is still having a ball on WICKED. But he could easily get the Link or Corny role.

What about Casey Donovan for Tracy Turnblad?

No, just guessing but I'd go with the girl from Bogan Pride/Fat Pizza. Mills is leaving WICKED in June.

I suggested her in the 2nd post in this thread.

Didn't know about Mills leaving WICKED. I'd say he's a shoe-in for HAIRSPRAY.

Mills auditioned for Hairspray a week or so back.

Who is Trevor Ashley, he might be in the running for Edna?

Trevor Ashley does a lot of drag in Sydney. I saw him do "Everybody's Gal" from STEEL PIER at HATS OFF a few years ago and he was quite good. I do think he's too young for the role, though -- he's very baby-faced.

Reg Livermore as Wilbur? Bert will be put in i bet just for namesake. I reckon Shanes too young for the role.

Mills auditioned for corny i think, Daniel Scott from priscilla would be great at Corny

re: Hairspray 2010

I can accept Mills as Corny and Reg as Wilbur.

re: Hairspray 2010

Livermore won't do 8 shows a week. You also need someone who is a little heavier. I understand Mills, Scott, Ashley are all short listed as are Jacqui Rae, Rachel Beck and David Harris.

I heard like an hour a go from a friend of the MD that one name is being 'seriously considered' for the role of Edna Turnblad...Tom Burlinson! Leo from the Producers if i recall? Which role is Beck shortlised for? Does anyone think Bert would at least do Edna for a few weeks?

#45

re: Hairspray 2010

Posted: 5/23/10 at 4:13am

I believe Livermore is being touted for Wilbur, not Edna, so he doesn't need to be "heavier".

Rae, Beck and Harris would all be good. Harris would make an excellent Corny -- good looking and can sing.

Tom Burlinson as Edna is a terrible choice. He's just all wrong. I'd rather see Mick Molloy over him any day.

do you think they will cast an unknown actor as edna?

#47

re: Hairspray 2010

Posted: 5/23/10 at 4:19am

Only if they can't get a name to do it justice.

re: Hairspray 2010

I'd wager big money that neither Newton or Livermore will be part of this show. (Why you want to see Bert Newton? We've seen his acting).

You'll need to specify who the "you" of "Why you want to see Bert Newton" is. I never need to see him in another show.

The "who" is theatrekid90.
