Not in a musical but her own one woman show. Like what Mario Canone did with Laugh Whore.
What do you think?

HOLY CRAP the name of this thread scared me. All I could see was Kathy Griffin playing Scuttle...
Anyway, YES! AMEN to the need for her one-woman show!

I could. I think she'd be good in that. But would she boost up ticket sales?

She wouldn't sell tickets. The New York crowd isn't into her style of comedy, and you need to be able to sell to them first before anyone, to get the word of mouth going. Plus, I could see critics getting *very* mean and discarding her, a la Suzanne Somers.
Maybe a show in Las Vegas though? But not Broadway.

as part of the New York Crowd, I think she's amazing, and I'd love to see her in a musical

Posted: 1/1/07 at 8:32pmI'm not a particular fan of her style of comedy, but who knows, she might do pretty well.
It was awesome. - theaterkid1015

Posted: 1/1/07 at 9:30pmIn a fair world, Kathy Griffin would be kept in a cage and people would pay a small amount, say a dollar or two, to poke at her with a stick.

HAIRSPRAY - sure.
LITTLE DOG LAUGHED - no way. She's a comedian, not a skilled, trained, experienced actress.

I don't know, I've seen her do some pretty impressive improv work.
I think she could do it

Posted: 1/1/07 at 10:47pmI agree with you producer2, i've always said she'd be great as the adult authority figure in hairspray. But i love lisa jollie so not anytime soon.

Rath:
Did you see her Juliet at the Old Globe in 1958?
And her comic timing on Suddenly Susan was Killer.
