John Goodman is brilliant and his singing is FANTASTIC, but I don't know if it's suited for La Cage. It's really soulful and bluesy.
Here he is in BIG RIVER singing "Guv'ment"

BRILLIANT. Just don't see him as Georges.
Victor Garber is the best idea I've heard.

Would Garber be willing to do a replacement gig? Just curious.
Mike Rowe would be awesome, but shouldn't age relevant to Harvey be a consideration?

And maybe they can bring in Billy Crystal to replace Harvey?

Posted: 2/27/11 at 10:17amSzot was rumored for the role before the got Kelsey, I remember, as was Mandy Patinkin. I wonder if they'll approach either of them.

Posted: 2/27/11 at 11:58amJohnathan Pryce is brilliant. He and Harvey can argue about whether or not they deserve best replacement Tonys.

Posted: 2/27/11 at 12:15pmVictor Garber replaced Richard Klein (or Tony Roberts) in They're Playing Our Song, I know...but that was in the late 70s/early 80s.

If he's THAT excited, it's got to be Mike Rowe.

Posted: 2/28/11 at 3:43pmNo idea if he can sing, but what about Dave Foley (of Newsradio and Kids in the Hall)? I think he'd be perfect. When he was much younger, I thought he would have been a PERFECT J. Pierrepont Finch in How to Succeed in Business...

Harvey's new Tweet:
They've made an offer to one of my favorite people to come join me in LA CAGE. I'm so excited!!! Can't wait to tell the world.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Posted: 2/28/11 at 3:50pmI'm secretly hoping it's Victor Garber but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Dick Latessa?
If Robin Williams wasn't doing Bengal Tiger I would suggest him -- I think he would be brilliant (he was fantastic in The Birdcage)
