because she doesnt have the name to sell the whole show as a revival on bway... but a limited engagement might work...

I love the idea of Benanti in CAROUSEL.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

A perfect show for Ms. Murphy?....all of them.

But, seriously, Donna Murphy in Grey Gardens. I'd be extremely interested.

Oh, Raul Esparza in Nine.

Some people paint, some people sew, I meddle.

"parade with norbert leo butz and stephanie j. block."

I like the idea of Stephanie J. Block as Lucille, but I don't think Norbert Leo Butz could pull off Leo. I know he's 40 but his energy and presence make him seem a lot younger, and a total opposite from Leo.

I'd also like to see How to Succeed with Esparza and Benanti.

"I believe that art does not exist only to entertain, but also to challenge one to think, to provoke, even to disturb, to engage in a constant search for the truth." - Barbra Streisand

MAME starring Megan Mullally or Donna Murphy in the title role opposite Cybill Shepherd as Vera Charles.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

I would love to see Reba as Miss Mona in "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas."
