I wonder who will be lucky enough to play Patrick Dennis if it comes to Broadway.

Although I love Jerry Herman musicals and wish this production of MAME well, I have to join others who feel Baranski is ideal of the role. People forget that Mame Dennis is an elegant lady and the more elegant she is, the funnier the character becomes. Lansbury was sensational because of this.

I'd love to see Joan Collins or Diana Rigg play Mame. Maybe even Juliet Mills.

Never thought I would agree with Dolly but when he's right he is right

Baranski should be great & after being in a few turkeys, she deserves a hit.

The theatre gossip thread at Datalounge, which is quite often scarily accurate, says Curtains for the Palace and Legally Blonde for the Al Hirschfeld.

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

That wouldn't leave MAME with any realistic theatre options.

I know it's the topic of this thread, but I'd be surprised if Mame made it in. It wasn't an ideal production at Paper Mill a few years ago, but even Christine Ebersole couldn't make it work (and something about her still seems better suited to the role than Christine Baranski).

I always thought Christine would be an awesome Mame!
