"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 1/11/07 at 9:22pmIs everyone forgetting that Louise Pitre opened the Toronto, 1st National Tour & Broadway casts??? She's not the youngest looking actress around...

Louise Pitre was in her early 40s when she opened MAMMA MIA. And despite having silver hair - that is the age she looked.

Donna - Meryl Streep
Tanya - Cher. PERIOD.
Rosie - Better Midler
Sophie - I hate to say it, but RIGHT NOW I'd go for Lindsay Lohan.
Sky - Dare I say Justin Timberlake? Think of the speedo!
Sam - No clue... I hate the Dad's...
Harry - See above... But maybe Colin Mockry (SP)
Bill - Hugh Jackman
Ali or Lisa - It would be fabulous to see Tina Maddigan do a "cameo".

I hope not.
But man, am I excited to see/hear Meryl singing "Slipping through my fingers". I'm gonna be a puddle on the floor!

Posted: 1/12/07 at 1:20amI'm sure Toni Collette (aged 34) appreciates being suggested to play the mother of a 20 year old.

I'm a huge fan of Mamma Mia and am very excited for the movie. It won't win any oscars but it's just great entertainment. Meryl Streep seems like an interesting pick. It'll help give the show star power. How old is she? She seems like she's a bit too old (Donna should be low 40s), but otherwise she seems good. She looks the part. Likewise, Olivia would have suited the role.
I only hope they don't just pick a trendy Sophie like Lindsay Lohan or Hilary Dufff. I'm interested in hearing who they pick for the other parts..especially Sam, Sophie, Sky, Tanya and Rosie.

Posted: 1/12/07 at 9:41amI know I'm in the minority here, but I honestly would rather not see Cher as Tanya. Cher's great and all, but with all the work she's had done, she is just scary to look at. Though she's not a big name, I would LOVE to see Christine Baranski as Tanya. That would be a hoot!

Dont count Madonna out of the project yet?
A UK Morning TV show was talking about streep playing donna and the guy on the show said he had heard that Madonna had been offered the part of Tanya but hassn't given an answer as yet.
Namo i love u but we get it already....you don't like Madonna

Posted: 1/12/07 at 9:55amAll these superstar names for MAMMA MIA bode very well for the ALL SHOOK UP film.

Okay can I just say that as much as I love Streep...and I do... I am HEARTBROKEN that Olivia Newton John isn't doing it. She simply IS Donna -her essence, her look...absolutely perfect. 
And to think that she wanted to do it but wasn't given the chance - ugghhh!!

Posted: 1/12/07 at 1:27pmI wouldn't mind Timberlake in the speedo, dancing or singing--but I can't stand hearing him talk.

Posted: 1/12/07 at 2:01pmHow ironic would it be for Meryl and Madonna to star in a film together, considering that Meryl was passed over for EVITA. I remember reading a quote from Meryl at the time----when asked how her performance as Evita would've differed from Madonna's, she replied, "Well, for one thing, I can sing." Ouch!

Posted: 1/12/07 at 6:57pmI'm suprised that Kristen Bell hasn't been suggested for Sophie in this thread yet.
"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

Posted: 1/12/07 at 11:57pmI think Streep is a great choice, she can really hit those high notes. I like the idea of Goldie Hawn as Tanya and Bette Middler as Rosie. But, I wouldn't mind to see Rosie as Rosie.
