This has been rehashed numerous times.

My own personal opinion -

Aida Turturro in Chicago is what I'm most looking forward to.

The best stunt casting is still the original:

Ginger Rogers, Betty Grable, Martha Raye, Pearl Bailey, Phyllis Diller and Ethel Merman succeeding Carol Channing in HELLO DOLLY.

^ Agreed. When does Aida start again?

No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel.

Brooke Shields was fantastic in WONDERFUL TOWN and Reba McEntire far exceeded my expectations in ANNIE GET YOUR GUN...she was, in a word, breathtaking.
