^^ I like your Dickensian touch by conjuring up Little Nell. But she is really only a fictional character.
Curry and Sarandon need to switch roles.
She wasn't so fictional when she signed "Love, Little Nell" on my Rocky Horror poster...

If Louise and June were Natalie Portman (or Anne Hathaway) and Anna Kendrick, I would probably pee myself. That would be perfect.

NO. MORE. GYPSY!
patti la LuPone put the smackdown on that role once and for all. No one else could ever do it like her. It's over. No more.
And if a movie remake was ever done, they'd unfortunately starf*ck it to death and not do it justice anyway, ala NINE. so therefore...........
LEAVE. IT. ALONE!

"patti la LuPone put the smackdown on that role once and for all. No one else could ever do it like her. It's over. No more."
Of course. Nobody would ever want to do it like her. But there might be an actress that would like to find layers to the character rather than playing her as an angry menopausal screamer with only two emotions: on and off.
Harvey Fierstein.
Nine's cast was great. Starf**king was hardly that adaptation's problem.
Anyways, Lea Michele will obviously be considered for this. I love a lot of the casting suggestions here though! Tom Hanks or Kevin Kline would make great Herbies.

I feel like I just saw it with Patty Lupone. She was great but my all time favorite was Tyne Daly. It was *the* most powerful Broadway moments I have had to date.
Well you obviously didn't see BABY IT'S YOU.
