Isn't it a little too soon for another revival of this show?

I always see Anna as older (35-40s) so Victoria Clark could work better than Kelli who I think would be great in another few years.

You see Victoria Clark as 35-40s? And O'Hara - who is 34 - not?

Barbra can pull it off.

Jordan, I'm sure you're referring to the King.

Barbra might look Asian at this point, but you're a lacist for suggesting that!

HAHA. I was more referring to her egocentric "I can play anything!" attitude.

I hope they put back "Western People Funny." I love that song!

I'm love, love, loving the idea of Victoria Clark as Mrs. Anna.

This is Vicki doing "The Man I Love" but if you use your theatergoer's imagination, you can imagine her doing "Hello, Young Lovers"

And, yes, that's Central Park behind here, during one of the recent snowstorms.

Loretta Able Sayers as Lady Tiang?

Best news I've heard all day! Would be great to see either Kelli O'Hara or Kate Baldwin as Anna. Please let this happen!

I want Laura Benanti to play Anna.

Holy ****in' crap. If Vicki Clark brings this kind of depth to Mrs. Anna, it will be extraordinary.

PJ, you are my favorite person ever right now. Her version of that is just divine.

Great news! I have been dreaming of a Sher directed revival of this show since South Pacific.

I think they will inevitably go with O'Hara. Clark was also up for Nellie, and they went with O'Hara. I think it will happen again here.

As soon as I saw the thread title, Kate Baldwin was the first person who came to mind. She would be absolutely perfect in the role. Kelli would be great too, but I'd prefer to see Kate in this one.

Even though it's a pretty plushy gig to be turning down, if this did happen in the fall, I'd wonder how ready Baldwin would be to go back to work.

Christiane Noll as Mrs. Anna, please. And screw political correctness: I want Marc Kudisch as the King.

I only Dreamed of this Happening and now it's coming to life. just picture the opening scene on the Vivian Beaumont and the amazing Overture played by the full orchestration.

I worship O'Hara, and she would be fabulous, but would she really do it? ANOTHER revival, ANOTHER Lincoln Center, ANOTHER Bart Sherr?

I would be happy with any of my three earlier mentions (and who Bart has spoken publicly about loving to work with). I will be open to other people though. Like if they go color blind and go Audra.

who's gonna play Lady Thiang?

[CurtainPullDowner]

Posted: 2/17/11 at 1:14am

Lea Salonga as Lady Tiang?

[ray-andallthatjazz86]

Benanti as Anna would be perfection! Anne Hathaway would also be quite good (though I know it's not the most inspired idea).

Lea Salonga as Lady Thiang?

"screw political correctness."

Okay, how about Audra as Anna?
