Posted: 4/4/09 at 3:28pmDoes anyone think that that would be a good casting choice? I do :)

Posted: 4/4/09 at 3:30pmI can see that, definitely. I'd like to see her do a play.

As soon as the show got slow, she'd spend 30 seconds screaming, ad-libbing, and forgetting what show she's in.
Seriously though, could be a good choice.

Posted: 4/4/09 at 3:38pmI can definitely see it, so long as she doesn't go overboard.

I thought she might be too young for the part but she's only three years younger than Rondi Reed. She would really be marvelous in the role, perfectly capturing the vulgar comedy in the first two acts and packing a punch with the Act III revelation. Now that's a role worthy of her talents, not General Cartwright (though she is the best part of the GUYS & DOLLS revival).

Posted: 4/4/09 at 3:55pmI originally thought she might be too young too, but I remembered that she did "In Trousers" back in the 70's, so I thought that she has to be old enough by now!
