Molly Shannon deserves a solo show on Broadway

I disagree. I love her in small doses, but her characters all seem very similar. Even when she guested on Will & Grace, she still seemed like she was in an SNL skit.

I LOVE HER!!!!!!! I think she'd be fantastic in a solo show or maybe a play or musical.... I could see her doing Hairspray in the Jackie Hoffman track.

right i agree. i think she'd be fun in a show but not in a solo show. maybe as a quirky character in a fun ensemble. i fear a solo show with her would be like 2 hours of Krisitn Chenoweth alone. eesh!

While I do love her comedically, I understand the comments about 'better in small doses.' I think you all need to see "Year of the Dog" where she acquits herself beautifully in a relatively dramatic role (though the film's a dark comedy). She's alternately pathetic, scary and heartbreaking and really shows some acting chops.

A bit off-topic, but I've met her twice-- once at a 'Wet Hot American Summer' event, and once she was waiting in line behind me at Loews Lincoln Square-- and she seemed to be the most genuinely nice famous person I've ever encountered. Each time she chit-chatted with me for about 10 minutes, when she easily could've done the "Thank you very much"-and-walk-away thing.

"I'm 50 years OLD!"

Satuday night made me miss her so much on the show.

I think she could do one Off-Broadway, but not on Broadway. She wouldn't be able to sell tickets by herself on Broadway. She would have a happier and longer run in a theatre like, the 47th Street Theatre.

Or she could always do a show at Ars Nova.
