Posted: 9/6/06 at 12:48pmIf your certain broadway actor who has passed away if you would like to see them play one part what would it be? For me it would be Jerry Orbach in Hairpsray as Wilbur I think he would have done a fantastic job

I assume in current-ish shows?
I would pay huge $$ to see Mary and The Merm do WICKED.
Gwen and Jerry reunited with Chita in CHICAGO.
Merm as Edna in HAIRSPRAY with Jack Klugman as Wilbur.
Agreed on Judy and Liza in GYPSY.
Also Judy as MAME (making Jerry Herman's dream come true).

If he were still alive, Bob Fossee would turn even paler when he heard Bebe Neuwirth - one of the perfect Velmas of all time - is going to try to play the part of Roxie Hart.
I'll never be able to wipe Lillith out of my mind.

Trying to think outside the box, here...
John Ritter in Barefoot in the Park.
I remember days
Or at least I try
But as years go by
They're sort of haze
And the bluest ink
Isn't really sky
And at times I think
I would gladly die
For a day of sky

Posted: 9/6/06 at 3:31pmThey weren't really "Broadway" stars, but I'd have loved to have seen Elvis or Marilyn try their hand on the Great White Way.

Posted: 9/6/06 at 4:09pmbest12bars. I second the Merman/Martin casting for WICKED. Martin was a genius at faux sweetness as well as possessing a authentic soprano voice. And can you see the Merm bullying her way through every scene? Heaven!

The Merm as Elphaba?
No. No.
John Candy as Divine as The Merm.
