IF Peters & Stritch leave at the end of their contracts who would have the chops (and star power) to put butts in those seats?

I'll start- Debbie Reynolds as Madame and Carrie Fisher as Desiree.

Any way we can replace Trevor Nunn with Bartlett Sher?

Diahann Carroll and Audra McDonald would be dynamite actually.

How about Nicole Kidman and Julie Andrews?

Now, Roscoe. Nunn's job was (and I'm being generous here) fine. But we all <3 Bart.

Love the Carrie Fisher idea, but she already said she'd never sing again after The Star Wars Holiday Special...but I guess anything's possible. How bout Dame Judi Dench as Madame Armfeldt?

Carrie Fisher sang "Happy Days are Here Again" during her solo show "Wishful Drinking."

I would kill to see Audra as Desiree! Phylicia Rashad as Armfeldt?

My dream pairs would be:

Cate Blanchett & Judi Dench

Kate Winslet & Meryl Streep (who I know is too young, but would be brilliant...I'd also like to see her as Desiree)

Emma Thompson & Julie Andrews

"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
