Grey's Anatomy:
Meredith-Carey Anderson
Cristina-No idea.
George-Tom Deckman
Alex-Andy Kelso
Izzie-Sutton Foster???
Callie-Sara Ramirez-Who would be dumb enough to replace her?
Derek-Cheyenne Jackson
Mark-No idea.
Bailey-Chandra Wilson-Because she can sing, from what I've heard.
Chief-No idea.
Addison-Michelle DeJean
I'll admit, these are probably really bad choices. Well, minus Sara Ramirez and Chandra Wilson. If anyone can think of anyone good for roles I missed, let me know.

Posted: 6/6/08 at 6:20pmHow funny I was watching a rerun of Will and Grace last night and thinking that instead of a follow up movie, a la Sex and the City, it would be fun if they did a musical staring the original cast. Those actors are all so perfect in their respective roles, and they’ve all performed on Broadway, I see no need to recast it with any other actors.

Going back to Buffy I would cast:
Buffy - Celia Keenan Bolger or I was thinking Lea Michele
Xander - Johnathon Groff
Willow - Kerry Butler
Angel - I would love Gale Harold or David Harbour but I don't know if either sing. I suppose Cheyenne Jackson could work
Giles - Anthony Stewart Head or David Hyde Pierce if he can't do it
Spike - Adam Pascal or maybe Neil Patrick Harris
Anya - Mary Catherine Garrison or Laura Bell Bundy
Oz - Christoper Fitzgerald

To answer a question from way back, besides Happy Days, there was a Gilligan's Island musical that played in Chicago and a few other places in the early 1990's.
There is a Rocky & Bullwinkle musical that also incorporates Dudley Doright, Mr. Peabody, Aesop & Son- all the elements of the TV show.
I recently heard someone is mounting "A Very Brady Musical".

Right now, my favourite show is Torchwood, and since all of the actors have some sort of theatre/musical background, it'd stay mostly the same:
Jack: John Barrowman
Gwen: Ruthie Henshall (Love Eve, but dunno if she can sing)
Owen: Burn Gorman
Toshiko: Naoko Mori
Ianto: Gareth David-Lloyd
Rhys: Kai Owens
Captain John: James Marsters
Just need to find people to play Weevils.

Veronica Mars!!!
Veronica Mars -- Kristen Bell, of course
Logan Echolls -- John Gallagher, Jr.
Duncan Kane -- Jonathan B. Wright
Wallace Fennell -- Derrick Baskin
Eli "Weevil" Navarro -- Lin-Manuel Miranda
Keith Mars -- Richard Kind
Lilly Kane -- Amanda Seyfried, again of course
I'm not quite happy with all of these, but I'm more than open to suggestions

Kitzarina,
Yay for Veronica Mars. Clearly Kristen IS Veronica but if she could not return for a musical, I think Mary Faber could be fantastic. It's so hard to strike a balance age wise as there are people that are perfect for roles but would be kind of off with the rest of the hypothetical cast. Here is what I came up with:
Veronica: Kristen Bell or Mary Faber
Wallace: Steven Cutts
Logan: Bryce Ryness
Weevil: Michael Balderrama
Keith: Norbert Leo Butz
Dick: Curtis Holbrook or Andrew C. Call
Duncan: James Snyder or Aaron Tveit
Don Lamb: Troy Britton Johnson
Mac: Emma Hunton
Cassidy: Tobias Segal or Blake Bashoff
Lily: Kate Loprest
Meg: Patti Murin
Vinnie: Danny Burstein

I really don't watch TV. I like films and live theatre. I have a HDTV but that's for film (Blu-ray) but not for watching TV.
However, the 1965 film Kwaidan is similar to a TV series in that there are 4 unrelated stories. Something like a Japanese traditional Twilight Zone in color. The most theatrical of the group of 4 is IMO "Hoichi, The Earless" and that is already something of a musical. There is really not that much else to add there, as it already has elements of Kabuki and Noh classic Japanese musical drama. I actually think Broadway could pull it off artistically, but who knows about it commercially. If you're interested, Kwaidan is available on DVD from The Criterion Collection.

LittleRDIEfan!
Your's is perfect!
Except I think reba should play herself... after all she can sing.
And Cheno would have to wear a fat suit... wouldn't that be a sight to see.
