Wow. There are just so many layers to this thing. It's like an onion...

Considering whats playing, and besides Chicago, what show could she be in?

This Can't Hardly Wait musical sounds pretty awesome. I think it would be a phenomenon.

Roxie seems most likely to me. Or maybe Roundabout will try to get her name above the title for some revival.

How about Hair? Of course, her vajazzling may be a distraction.

Umm...yes. Unless everyone in the cast bedazzles their junk.

CHICAGO was the first thing that came into my mind.

"I have a dance video from when I was 5, called Dance! Workout with Barbie, and she's one of the dancers! She looks about 13 tops. Not exactly 'dancing' so much as marching in place with Barbie, but I'm sure she had to audition for it. hahaha."

I have that same exact video! She is just credited as "Love Hewitt."

My only question"

Is there a stage big enough to fit her Arse on?

Her butt could play the iceburg in Titanic! ( Next year will be a 100 years )

And apart from the above I really like JLH.

This board is cracking me up! I'd be in for the Can't Hardly Wait musical, too.

But honestly, she started on Kids Incorporated. She was singing and dancing in Sister Act 2. She's put out a couple albums. She had a great run on Party of Five, so decent movies, and a successful TV show with Ghost Whisperer. (4 seasons is nothing to sneeze at.)

I think she'd do well on Broadway.

This is embarrassing, but back when I thought I was straight I had the hugest crush on Jennifer Love Hewitt. I liked all her movies (I loved Can't Hardly Wait, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Heartbreakers, etc.) and used to watch Party of Five religiously. Although I'll admit that last part probably had more to do with a hidden love for Matthew Fox (oh bearded Jack, why are you so wonderful??) than anything else.

My room had all her posters and I even bought some of her CDs. Yes, Jennifer Love Hewitt had a few CDs out a long time ago. There was this song called "Don't Push The River" that I used to listen to over and over again. She hits this note in it that my eleven-year-old ears somehow loved. How no one knew that a boy listening to Jennifer Love Hewitt songs on repeat (probably right before something Backstreet Boys would come on) was gay I'll never know. All that said, I think she could easily do Broadway. She has a rather good voice and although she is primarily known for being good looking, Party of Five long ago proved (to me, at least) that she can act.

Oh, and I would add "Velma Didn't Get Much Play" to the list of songs for the Can't Hardly Wait musical. I just realized the Stoner Guy in the scene is Jason Segel from How I Met Your Mother. Who knew?! Updated On: 6/5/10 at 02:09 AM

"Still, she is one "Star" I have no interest in seeing."

She's no Joey Lawrence, I guess..

^ *Snork*

I would be all for this. Her song was the only decent thing to "Hunchback 2"

(To be fair, I never actually *saw* Hunchback 2...)

I think the Stoner Guys should narrate the whole show, personally.

So I was searching and just found this. Apparently Jennifer Love Hewitt had an album called out which I listened to repeatedly, yet somehow forgot the title to. After listening to the sample tracks, I don't even know what to say. But again, I think the title says it all.

I could legit see her in so many good roles. Natalie in Next to Normal. Wednesday in Addams Family. Maybe Roxie, but she looks young. Sheila in Hair.

Maybe she should try Glee first.

Love is 30. Much too old for Natalie or Wednesday.

I'm not saying these are the best roles for her, or that they're super likely to happen, but here are some ideas for roles she could play:

Ado Annie - Oklahoma
Sandy - Grease
Ella - Bells Are Ringing
Peggy Sawyer - 42nd Street
Julia - Wedding Singer
Ellen - Miss Saigon
Amneris - Aida
Babe - The Pajama Game
Sharon - Finian's Rainbow
Dorothy - Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Angel - Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
Maureen - Rent
Audrey - Little Shop of Horrors
Cinderella - Into the Woods
Eponine/Fantine - Les Miz
Sally Bowles - Cabaret
Flaemmchen - Grand Hotel
Louise - Gypsy
Lily St. Regis - Annie
Millie - Thoroughly Modern Millie
Mary - Jesus Christ Superstar


Also, maybe a new stage version of Funny Face.
