"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."

Ah, re: RSL already acing 5thoJuly, either I'm really good at this or I had known that, consciously forgotten, and subconsciously cheated.
I'd also love to see Robert as Joe in The Children's Hour.
Wood as Willy Loman
Angelica Huston?

She's too old now, but a decade or so ago Huston would have made a perfect Jean Brodie. Has she done theatre in her career?

I actually think a young Jan Maxwell could have made a great Billie Dawn in Born Yesterday.

Agreed that Jan Maxwell could've been a great Billie Dawn. (How old was Madeline Kahn when she played the role?)
Dana Ivey as Bessie Berger in AWAKE AND SING.

I'm pretty sure someone said this earlier in the thread, but I love the idea of Kathy Bates as Mattie Fae in August: Osage County.
Jose Llana?

I've always thought that Llana would be great as Curley in OKLAHOMA. Also, I remember watching him in THE KING AND I and thinking he'd make an amazing King the next time they did a revival. So, either of those.
Anna Paquin?

Perhaps someone else can come up with a role for present-day Rebecca Luker, but I think that she could've made a wonderful Abigail Adams in 1776 (probably even around the time of the 1997 revival).
ETA: Scratch that: I'd love to see her really stretch her acting chops in a role like Margaret Johnson.
