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?

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

Posted: 2/16/11 at 10:24pmHAHA. I was more referring to her egocentric "I can play anything!" attitude.

Posted: 2/16/11 at 10:27pmI 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.

Posted: 2/16/11 at 11:11pmBest news I've heard all day! Would be great to see either Kelli O'Hara or Kate Baldwin as Anna. Please let this happen!

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

Posted: 2/16/11 at 11:51pmPJ, you are my favorite person ever right now. Her version of that is just divine.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

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.
#40KING AND I Revival a possibility
Posted: 2/16/11 at 11:54pmAs 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.

Posted: 2/17/11 at 12:02amEven 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.

Posted: 2/17/11 at 12:23amChristiane Noll as Mrs. Anna, please. And screw political correctness: I want Marc Kudisch as the King.
"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."

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.

Posted: 2/17/11 at 1:27amBenanti as Anna would be perfection! Anne Hathaway would also be quite good (though I know it's not the most inspired idea).
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
