Neither of those shows would really fit Gad, and The Producers with Andrew Rannells would be basically the equivalent of doing How To Succeed At Business Without Really Trying with Daniel Radcliffe.
... Which actually happened, which makes it way less unlikely, but I just don't see that working out.
This kind of got me thinking though...
Imagine Andrew Rannells as Nicely Nicely Johnson in Guys and Dolls. Like, we've heard the song from tenors, baritones, and countertenors over the years, but like...
We can all imagine Andrew Rannells doing that song. It just makes a lot of sense in my mind.
Now I don't really know where you'd put Josh Gad in that show but um...
Well, it occurs to me that he only fits a very very specific kind of role, because when you see him on stage and on screen he is very much acting like himself most of the time.
Andrew Rannells is much more able to play a varied assortment of characters, not to the same degree as somebody like Christian Borle because Andrew Rannells has a very distinctive voice that sounds largely similar in nearly everything he's in, but I do think he's definitely more of anactorthan Gad. Not to say Josh Gad is bad, of course, I actually rather like him.
I really don't know what they could do together."
No offense to you, but every famous actor is basically just playing "them" or doing their schtick. Lane/Broderick/Gad/Rannells. They keep playing the same type over and over again.
I think they could easily sell a The Producers revival, but I find that idea boring. I'd rather they do the Guttenberg thing. Sounds weird and something that would never get produce commercially.
