Posted: 5/26/06 at 9:54amI can see them casting CZ-J in the movie version of Spider Woman, too. good call. Does she have the skill and experience to pull it off on stage? I want to go back in time and see Chita. I saw Vanessa. Props to her, but the footage I saw of Chita remains vivid in my memory.

I would immediately reopen Sweet Charity at the Hirschfeld.
I would also be the lead producer so I could cast the show how I saw fit and Christina Applegate would have a lifetime contract as Charity until further notice.
Also, The Light in the Piazza would have an open-ended run at the Beaumont. Of course, I would cast that show to my liking as well.

Side Show
I saw this show the day before it closed, and was absolutely blown away by it.
Absolute perfection.
