Cockeyed, I think it is a pretty close match though! There is another person on the show who is a decorator and I forget her name. But I would cast Idina in that part! I think she also does piping.

Gypsy4, the only one "wild enough" to play Kramer including the physical comedy would be Christopher Fitzgerald.

I'd love to see West Wing: The Musical done with Broadway actors in the roles:

Allison Janney could play C.J.Cregg
Bradley Whitford could play Josh Lyman
Stockard Channing could play Abbey Bartlett

Oh. . .Never mind.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer!

Buffy- Kerry Butler
Spike- Any suggestions? I'm drawing a blank.
Xander- Christian Borle/ Blake Bashoff
Willow- Celia Keenan-Bolger
Giles- Daniel Evans

Also, love the Veronica Mars suggestions from a couple of pages back.

I love the Veronica Mars casting, Kitzarina, except that I can't for the life of me see Lin-Manuel Miranda as Weevil. LOVE John Gallagher, Jr. as Logan, though.

Aw, I love Gilmore Girls and really love some of your suggestions especially Andy Karl and Ann Harada but honestly you think that Laura Benanti or Sutton are old enough to be Leslie Kritzer's mother? Or that Meghan Mullaly and Roger Bart are old enough to be their grandparents? That's a bit off.

This is a hard cast, but I think:

Lorelai Gilmore - Julie White (would have been great 10 years ago but it's a hard role because she's supposed to be early 30's)
Rory Gilmore - Phoebe Strole
Luke Danes - Norbert Leo Butz or Brian D'Arcy James
Michel Gerard - Rod Harrelson or Derrick Baskin
Emily Gilmore - Mary Testa or Kelly Bishop!
Richard Gilmore - Boyd Gaines
Lane Kim - T.V. Carpio or Greta Lee
Paris Geller - Jenni Barber/Kelly Karbacz
Miss Patty - Rue McClanahan
Dean Forester - Van Hughes
Jackson Belleville - Christian Anderson
Babette Dell - Annie Golden
Mrs. Kim - Ann Harada
Sookie St. James- Kirsten Wyatt or Kathy Brier
Kirk Gleason - Luther Creek or Jesse Tyler Ferguson
Taylor Doose - Greg Stuhr
Jess Mariano - Jonathan B. Wright
Christopher Hayden - Justin Kirk or Andy Karl (he needs a principle character!)

Thank you Pippin. I've been waiting for someone to say Seinfeld.
I would've done it, but I'm horrible with thinking of people to play the roles.

I really couldn't see Kerry as Elliot. I picture Mary Faber in the role, not sure why.

shh282 your casting actually is kinda spot on if you think about it. Noah has the hair. Mary Testa would be hilarious andLea Michele looks similair to Mila Kunis. I only think that they could find a better donna than Sierra Boggess.

actressabby242,

Why did you copy and paste a bunch of other's people's lists?

*Edit* Okay, I see what you did there. I just think you copied and pasted way too much and you could have just posted which ones you liked or agreed with.
