John Goodman. Are you kidding?
Barry Humphries- (broadways number one Dame)
Gary Beach- He would be divine but that would hurt the Producers.
Bette Midler- I can see it. Sorry. She would kick butt.
Nathan Lane- He would make a great EDNA!
Richard Skipper
Michael West- From Forbidden Broadway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(He plays Edna every night in FB and he is funny!
I love Michael West!

Well I have seen Hairspray 5 times and i still love Harvey in the role. As an actor he is wonderful at what he does and It well be very differnt seeing the show with out him.

I would really really love to see John Goodman take over the role when he leaves I think he would be awsome in it. different (very different) but awsome!


Grace: My love for you is like this scar (points to elbow) ulgy but permanent!

Corine.

Are you serious? You suggest Gary Beach and say that it would hurt The Producers

The you say Nathan Lane without commenting?

And there's a difference between parodying Harvey in FB and making a role your own. Not to diminish Michael West's talents or lack of.

Oh and Mistress S
I understand how it feels to love a show. I feel the same way about Forbidden Broadway which I have seen 12 times.
So I understand.
I bet you know every word of the show by heart. I can recite FB BY HEART.
Michael West is talented. Did you see his one man show. It was brilliant.
Barry is an actor. Edna would not have a british accent.

Thanks Corine.
I'm the first to admit Ive got crazy obsessive tendencies. I see a show, if i hate it, i dont see it again. If I like it, Ill see it about 3 times. If I love it, Ill see it 10 or more times. I dont think theres anything wrong with knowing what I like.

Take Me Out: 3($30)
Jekyll & Hyde: 4(3 broadway, one regional)($12)
The Graduate: 2($30)
Jesus Christ Superstar: 7(the tour)($40)
Rocky Horror: 17($25)
Hairspray: 24($20)

Corine
Do you think it's a good idea to promote the idea that being a number one fan is based soley on the number of times someone has seen the show. (no offense to Spouzic intended)

Couldn't someone in Iowa who saw the show once and reads every article, records every appearance, has all the books and collectibles be just as much a fan?

Couldn't a person who has none of those things be a number one fan just based on their love for the show?

I don't think how many times you have seen a show (or anything) nor the $$ spent in relation to that show can determine who is a #1 fan, nor do I think one should promote that.

Coming from you, Mrs. Morrison, I'll take that as a genuine compliment. re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re:
