And we'll insert Sherie Rene Scott and Alice Ripley into the Edna costume and have them sing together.

Well, if they want to go with a man as Edna and Harvey is unavailable, may I suggest Linda Tripp?

She can't act, plus she'd be on her cell phone on stage recording the show or something sick like that. But thanks, Mrs B, that made me laugh up a storm! Feel it, broadwayguy2?

Ok Craig Bierko as Corny Collins.
I still think he could pull off Link!
Gavin Creel as Link

Craig Bierko would make a wondeful Corny Collins- but that role should go to someone who's popular in the teenage world. Like Ryan Seacrest, or Carson Daly, etc, etc..

Frenchie Davis could pull of Motormouth, but I think Queen Latifah is a better choice for the movies. She has more experience.

I'd like to see Frenchie take a stab at Motormouth on Broadway, though.

Given his stint as host of TRL, casting Carson Daly as Corny would cross into "beating over the head" hokie

Frenchie is way too young to play Motormouth. Queen Latifah is too young too. I'd suggest some of the one's Mary Bond Davis mentioned they were trying to get for the OBC before her. Loretta Divine, Jenifer Lewis, or Jennifer Hoiiday.

The muppets meet Hairspray.
HA HA!
That would be hilarious Craig.
But then Kerry would not be in the film.
Kerry needs to be Penny. No one can replace her in that role.
(And Craig you left out Ralph the piano player he would make a better Wilbur)
