Someone had mentioned this in a previous thread and while I was weary of it before, I am now dying to see Jessie's Don't Rain on My Parade and her own take on Fanny. I think her rendition of I'm the Greatest Star could be phenomenal if given the chance. 

 

What are your thoughts on this?

Really?

We need another FUNNY GIRL thread where Jessie Mueller and Lea Michele and Lady Gaga will be mentioned, compared and dissected endlessly?   

This topic has been dragged and slaughtered to no end.

People have been dream-casting this since Jessie Mueller first burst onto the scene in ON A CLEAR DAY.

Frankly, I'm a little shocked that it hasn't happened yet.

I remember Harvey Fierstein talking about Shoshana Bean, what about her?

Hasn’t Shoshana played it? Either at North Shore or the Music Circus?

Yes, Shoshana Bean did Valerie Harper in FUNNY GIRL.

Refreshingly delicious and truly fantastic.

She would be sensational. Her ability to sing anything in any style is unmatched.

Agreed. A vocal chameleon.
