Posted: 8/10/08 at 4:12pmI want to see the Full Scale version. I would also like to see Patti Lupone in the role but none of it will ever come to pass.

Posted: 8/10/08 at 7:04pmPatti doesn't even want to sing Lloyd Webber...what makes you think she'd ever even consider coming back? She only sings a few selections of EVITA, usually only Don't Cry For Me Argentina or when she's doing stuff with Mandy!

If it comes back, play it completely for camp. Cast Charles Busch as Norma (like the way he played Berthe in the World AIDS Day "Pippin"), lots of parody type staging laced with all sorts of innuendo and laugh moments with tongue firmly planted in cheek, a very scaled down set to look like they have the budget of a day care in Florida, like a campy burlesque of the original show.
