Not that I want the cast of CURTAINS to leave anytime soon. I think it would be a really FUN show for replacements.
I can't really think of anyone for Frank Cioffi. DHP is just so perfect for the role. Do you guys have any ideas?
For Carmen Bernstein. You may think I'm crazy. But I can really see Patti LuPone in the role. Though she probably would never replace. I think she'd be fantastic in the role. I can also really see Joanne Worley in the role.
For Georgia Hendricks - I can really see Janine LaManna. Like Ziemba - Janine is a triple threat who can REALLY sing. She's perfect for the role.
Ideas?

Posted: 6/12/07 at 12:58pmGod, I can't imagine Lea DeLaria in a dress. It'd be bizarre. But other than that and Martin Short I like your choices!

David Hyde Pierce is in the show for at least a year (as this is how long his contract is for). i doubt the show will last much longer than that...
but i couldn't picture Martin Short in that role. that'd be wild...

Why don't we at TR Knight if we're just going to reccomend every star who came out this year.
Kidding... KIDDING!! I love the idea of NPH!
#7re: If CURTAINS got to replacements...
Posted: 6/12/07 at 1:14pmI'm betting Short would never replace Hyde Pierce, and that goes double for Neuwirth replacing Ziemba.

Posted: 6/12/07 at 1:32pmSince when is Joanna Gleason a trained dancer?

Posted: 6/12/07 at 1:33pmljay makes a point. Let's not forget about Thataway.

Not that I'm too familar with Curtains, but from what I've seen, I'd love to see Mary Testa playing Carmen.

You'd be surprised at the dancing ability Gleason has. She's just never had the opportunity to use it on stage.
Besides the fact, any future replacement in the role of Georgia is likely going to have the character's material altered a bit to fit their strengths. There aren't many triple threats out there as strong as Ziemba (who had the role changed to adapt to her talents after she did the final workshop.)

not like this would EVER happen in a million years, but Kathy Bates as Carmen.
and i second the idea of Janine LaManna as Georgia!
#19re: If CURTAINS got to replacements...
Posted: 6/12/07 at 1:41pmI haven't seen Curtains, but I just like Douglas Sills, so how about him to replace DHP?
#20re: If CURTAINS got to replacements...
Posted: 6/12/07 at 2:32pmomg Patrick Wilson! lemme just drool over that idea!

Posted: 6/12/07 at 2:54pmI just got the CD today, but listening to it in the car on the way home, Neil Patrick Harris did come to mind for some reason when I heard David Hyde Pierce.

Totally different than DHP or NPH, but what about Brad Garrett? He sings, right? Would love the detective to be big bruiser of a Boston cop. Would make his love of theatre and dance numbers that much more fun and funny.

Loving the Neil Patrick Harris idea so much. Kudos to Smaxie.
I think Mary Testa would be just about as good as it gets for a Carmen replacement, the woman has everything that I would hope for in a replacement and her "It's a Business" would keep stopping the show every night.
I would like to see Sara Gettelfinger as Georgia (if she's not too young for the role) or Natascia Diaz.
