Sid Sorokin - Harry Connick Jr. (obviously)
Babe Williams - Carolee Carmello
Vernon Hines* - Matthew Broderick/Dick Latessa
Gladys Hotchkiss* - Christina Applegate/Bebe Newirth
Prez - John Tartaglia
Mabel - Kathleen Turner
Hasler - Mario Cantone
*If they cast the roles on the older side (as they probably should), Latessa opposite Newirth. Younger, Broderick oppsite Applgate. (I could also see Dennis O'Hare playing Hines.)
Obviously, almost all of these will NEVER happen, but feel free to speculate and/or tell me what you think!

Denis O'Hare recently said in an interview that he's not doing musicals anymore.
I'm serious.

Posted: 6/6/05 at 10:43pmHarry Connick is already a definite, so you don't have to worry about that.

I know. I just wanted to let you know.

Posted: 6/6/05 at 10:48pmI think he'd be cute. I was also thinking Dan Fogler for a bit but I think that could get crazy. Dennis O'Hare, maybe? (Hines is a tough un' to cast)
#8re: Pajama Game Revival - Casting Suggestions?
Posted: 6/6/05 at 10:55pmShe would! she's just the right age too...i was also thinking Dee Hoty but then I realized Carolee would be like, so much better.

#13re: Pajama Game Revival - Casting Suggestions?
Posted: 6/6/05 at 11:13pmBernadette Peters for Mabel. Should could finally start playing her real age! Imagine her with with her hair pulled back into a tight bun wearing glasses.
#14re: Pajama Game Revival - Casting Suggestions?
Posted: 6/6/05 at 11:17pmBernie is WAY too dynamic for mabel. and too sexy.

Ernie Sabella would be perfect as Hines, and so would Tartaglia as Prez.
I could see either Beth Fowler or Andrea Martin as Mabel. If the wonderful Kathleen Freeman was still with us, she would have been great.
#16re: Pajama Game Revival - Casting Suggestions?
Posted: 6/6/05 at 11:27pmVery good with the Beth Fowler....lol if this cast actually existed, they'd SO upstage good ol' Harry.
#17re: Pajama Game Revival - Casting Suggestions?
Posted: 6/6/05 at 11:30pmAs for Gladys Hotchkiss... I could see a certain pop star/dancer doing it, but I'm afraid that if I mention her name I'll get slaughtered.

Babe: Sherie Renee Scott
Hines: David Hyde Pierce
Prez: Marc Kudisch
Gladys: Sara Ramirez
Mabel: Jan Maxwell
Mae: Sara Gettlefinger
Ernie Sabella perfect for Hines? Not in a million years. He's too annoying. Tartaglia perfect for Prez? I hope you're joking.

"Gladys: Sara Ramirez"
Munk, you're cool and all, but...?
However, Ramirez would rock as the Sour Kangaroo, and some other roles.
"Ernie Sabella perfect for Hines? Not in a million years. He's too annoying."
I guess he's not right, but I don't find him annoying.
"Tartaglia perfect for Prez? I hope you're joking."
Um, no. I was thinking the same thing when I read Sara as Gladys.

Tartaglia is too boyish, feminine, and young for Prez.
Why wouldn't Ramirez be good as Gladys? She's sexy and has an amazing voice.
#21re: Pajama Game Revival - Casting Suggestions?

She's gorgeous and has a beautiful voice, but...
Well, it can all be summed up in two words: "Steam Heat".

You are very right - I totally forgot that that was Gladys. In that case...
I feel bad admitting that I think Christina Applegate would be wonderful.
#23re: Pajama Game Revival - Casting Suggestions?

Christina would be quite good in it, and...
Don't shoot, but I think this is the one role that (flinches) Britney Spears would be qualified for.
#24re: Pajama Game Revival - Casting Suggestions?
Posted: 6/7/05 at 12:47amAlthough she wouldn't be someone I would immediately WANT to see in the role, I think it's something she could work.
