Tell me who you think is good enough to actually act their way out of a bag and what precisely acting out of a bag would entail in their particular situation.
Example:
Actor- Raúl Esparza
How he'd do it- Use the bag as a dress and play yet another tragic, yet heartfelt drag queen.

This is going straight to the Bookmarks list. I love you Nia. 
Let's see...
Donna Murphy would fall in love with the bag. The bag would be repulsed. Over the course of two hours, Ms. Murphy's love and maniuplation would have forced the bag to love her. She would then make love to the bag, and die. The bag would duel with Donna's cousin, who thought the bag was taking advantage of her, when it was the exact opposite. The bag would kill her cousin, go insane, and be locked up. Donna would come back as a ghost, comfort the bag, and then live on.*
*Any similarities to the musical Passion are purely coincidental.

Posted: 2/6/05 at 9:16pmCarol Channing would only have to say the words "Horace Vandergelder" in her unique way and she'd be out of that bag.

LLOL, Slaton and Munkustrap. Literally laughing out loud. Those could be their own broadway shows, I'd pay to see them.

Raúl E. Esparza.
Plastic bag, paper bag, plastic container, fish tank, whatever.
The end.

Bernadette Peters would get Sondheim to let her out.
Or she would use the POOF from Into the Woods when she changes into her beautiful self to explode the bag.

Ooh, I have one. Alan Cumming. And I'm pretty sure he would do something with the bag that is too dirty to even mention!

Posted: 2/6/05 at 9:58pmAudra would sing a incredibly dark, haunting, and beautiful aria and the bag would weep instantly causing the bag to dissolve. or she would bring back some of that Voudon from Marie Christine and the bag would dance until it stabbed itself on a mirror.

Posted: 2/7/05 at 3:41pmPatti LuPone would agree to star in a show the bag wrote. The bag would then fire her. She would sue the bag for two million dollars and win.

Excellent point, DGrant! Ha, those costumes are unique...
Shall I make a point about the cast of CATS - They're already out of the bag.
Otherwise, I'm not creative enough for this thread - but keep 'em up!
