I was just re-watching Putting It Together and one of my favorite numbers in that show is "There's Always A Woman", cut from Anyone Can Whistle. Does anyone think it would be amazing to see Carol Burnett and Ruthie Henshall as Cora and Fay, respectively, in Whistle? Maybe this would have been more feasible 10 or 15 years ago but still...

Maybe 20 years ago, even. Have you heard Burnett on the "Sherry" studio recording from several years ago? Her voice is a shadow of what it once was. She's way too old to play Cora with the fierceness required.
