I take it Doyle is playing the Liza part...?

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

"Eartha Kitt as a 48 year old Italian woman?"

I'm not really basing my desire to see them in those roles on anything besides how entertaining I think it would be.

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

Rathnait62, the article mentioned that Ambassador is hoping for a transfer to New York from London. It sounds to me like they are planning long term, and if she was officially set to do Gypsy, that would probably prevent her from making any commitment that far in the future.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.

Did you see Linda Blair in Grease, Rath? If so, how was she?

Linda Blair did "Grease" Wow, and just when I thought I couldn't loose anymore respect for a show...

Oh God. Not the actor-musician thing again. Isn't this gimmick old now?

Sorry, I rushed through the article, but did it say he was planning on using that concept? He has done and is capable of doing other things. He happens to be using the actor-musician concept frequently now, but I wouldn't just assume everything he will do will follow that way.

Similar to the way I feel about Bernadette, I want Patti to ORIGINATE roles. I'm tired of revivals.

Patti LuPone + "Cheif Cook and Bottle Washer" = Genuis. I can't wait! It's a score that must be heard again.

YOU PEOPLE ARE RIDICULOUS.
If you have a problem with the work being done right now, then MOUNT YOUR OWN SHOWS.

How many times can the man do the same stuff over and over again.

Do you think his next show will be Ragtime, so they can make there own costumes, as well as sets, **** why don't they just build the theatre as well.

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

Well the original Ragtime sort of did build its own theatre...and Zachary Goldfarb, calm down, not a BIG deal, some of us enjoy his ideas, however, I think it would be like if Julie Taymor came in and did 2 more musicals EXACTLY like "lion King" we wouldn't want to see it all the time, even if we do like it.

Patti has done only 4 musical revivals. SWEENEY TODD, ANYTHING GOES, OLIVER!, and THE BEGGAR'S OPERA. I doubt that you were alive for THE BEGGAR'S OPERA, and you were certainly too young for OLIVER! - plus it ran for very few performances. So that leaves one, maybe two musical revivals that you have seen her in. You were probably around 4 years old when she was in ANYTHING GOES.

Bernadette was also in 4 musical revivals. GYPSY, ANNIE GET YOUR GUN, ON THE TOWN, and THE MOST HAPPY FELLA. There's no way that you saw the last two. You've seen Bernadette re-create exactly 2, maybe only 1 role.

I don't see why this is a problem. Sure, new material is exciting - but as long as immense talents like Peters and LuPone are re-creating iconic roles like Annie Oakley, Mama Rose, Mrs. Lovett, and Reno Sweeney - what's the problem?

And no, THE RINK isn't an iconic role, but it's a show that's not done anymore. Who cares? What's the harm?

The other thread got deleted, so I'll post it here. If I don't see Patti LuPone on roller skates, I'm going to eat a baby.

Thank you munkustrap.

There really is nothing wrong with re-creating a role, sometimes, they do it better than the original...Alan Cumming in Cabaret (Not better than Joel, but at least as good as), Audra McDonald in Carousel, Tracey Ullman in Once Upon a Mattress, the list is endless. Yes, it is nice for someone to really lay claim to an original role, Patti LuPone with Evita, or Donna McKechnie in Promises, Promises, Company, or Chorus Line, but there are soooo many great roles that some of these actress can fill and most likely be riviting and amazing in.

Elaine Stritch in SHOWBOAT.

Audra in RAISIN IN THE SUN.

Antonio Banderas in NINE.

Please. Some of the greatest performances are in revivals.

I guess...Brooke and Jasmine and Patty were more replacements, but I still say Brooke and Jasmine were tons better than Rosie, and I can't even *remember* the lady that Patty Duke replaced, so, I counted them.
