I know most people don't want to even consider a Gypsy revival for at least another decade, but who (and when?) do you think Broadway's next Mama Rose will be?
Are Audra and Sutton inevitable? Any left-of-centre possibilities? I don't think I'd have thought of Tyne Daly, were I writing this thirty years ago!

Heather Langenkamp will be playing her next.

the whole female cast of "Just The Ten Of Us" can play the role in rep.

I don’t know why, but I really can’t see Sutton in that role. So not her. Her energy is way too young.
Audra, maybe.

While she likely wouldn't get her own revival, I'm shocked Donna Murphy hasn't played the role anywhere yet.

Klea Blackhurst.... remember you read it here first... (It's a better vehicle for her than Hazel)

I'd like to see Tonya Pinkins.

Harvey Fierstien. If he could do Tevye in drag, why not Momma Rose?

Lisa Howard!

You all seem to be forgetting that this is a Broadwayworld dreamcast. Someone has to mention these people at least once:
Sierra Boggess
Kristin Chenoweth
Sutton Foster (EDIT: just realized the OP mentioned her. I rest my case)
Annaleigh Ashford
Jessie Mueller
Idina Menzel
Kelli O'Hara
Laura Osnes

There is only one person I want to see play Rose, and that's Tonya Pinkins. However, I am pretty surprised neither Donna Murphy nor Marin Mazzie have ever played the role.
Posted: 9/25/15 at 11:19am
I suspect Imelda Staunton!

In her Broadway debut, Michelle Pfeiffer.

On the Theater People podcast, Tonya said she begged Arthur Laurents to let her cover Patti. Wouldn't that have been something?
