In re-reading the info on the board, I didn't realize it was between Patina and Olivo. I really wish Olivo had gotten the job and stayed in the biz. She would've been a 2-time winner.

I am surprised anyone would think Rachelle Rak was a good choice for this. She has limited acting and singing ability.

Anika is the only one I could truly get on board with from this thread but I can't really picture her coming back to broadway as a replacement. I have no idea of her dancing ability either.

It would be ideal if they get someone like Brenda Braxton or Deirdre Goodwin who would smash the **** out of the choreography and be true triple threats out there.

This wont be popular on this board but they should stunt cast Pippin with Zac Efron or Josh Hutcherson.

Zac Efron as Pippin!! Hell yes! I hope they cast him if the film ever gets made.

Hunter would work for me also. I liked him in Godspell

Since we are dream casting. Let's flip the whole thing over again and cast a black family (Charles, Fastrada, Lewis, Pippin and Berthe) and do a white lead player.

edit to add cast and YES, I am Stealing most of the cast of PASSING STRANGE, (I LOVE that show).
Chad Goodrich as Pippin,
Daniel Breaker as Lewis
Eisa Davis as Fastrada
Colman Domingo as Charles
Phylicia Rashad as Berthe

Adam Lambert as Lead Player, He killed it at Broadway Bares.

also what about Rebecca Naomi Jones as a replacement for Patina. She is killing it in Murder Ballad.

I'm all for Adam as the LP! He'd be sensational!

"could AC do the arial work? or sing Glory "

"Glory" isn't any higher than he had to sing in Cabaret.

Rachelle Rak would make an excellent Fastrada! As would Adam Lambert, who could sing it in Patina's keys easily.

Thoughts on Orfeh as the leading player- just popped in my head as I sit listening to the cast recording. She could be really interesting in the role!

Orfeh is just not right for LP, no offense to her, but absolutely not the right type. I'd love to see Patina's 2nd understudy go on, Molly Tynes, to see if the dynamic of the show changes when a white woman plays the Leading Player, but she has yet to go on.

Molly Tynes going on will be a rare occurrence because she's the second cover.

I wonder if Patina took a week off or something (a vacation) they might split the role between the two understudies. That does tend to happen from what I've seen.

I have seen Stephanie Pope, twice. I would like to see Molly Tynes take on the role.

Bit of an unknown, but I think Adam Kaplan (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzxvLKIzUNg)would make a fabulous Pippin.

Don't see him as Pippin. Elder Price, yes, Pippin No.

Hunter Parrish, seriously? I like him, but he's not a singer. He could barely sing the score of GODSPELL, which isn't exactly operatic. He'd blow out his voice after one performance as Pippin.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body
