Possible future stage roles for Angela?

I read a comment in the Other Actresses You Have Seen In "Wicked" thread that Angela Lansbury would never portray Madame Morrible, and it got me to wondering if there are any possible roles left that she might consider doing at this point in her life, should she ever make yet another return to Broadway, or even just on smaller stages in one-night-only performances. What would you like to see her as?

She said recently that she wants one more great film role.

It's just a pipe dream, but if they ever make some sort of film of the musical of Grey Gardens, she'd be a good Big Edie.

Only took four posts for someone to ruin this thread.

Since yours was the 4th response, KristinIdinaLauraBellSuttonAliceRipleyIRuvKateMonsterFoster, I suppose you're referring to yourself.

Well, that was a fail on my part.

but let's not start the username crap. I made it almost four years ago.

For the record, I usually do find your sarcasm quite humorous

Morrible? PSH. Who says she's too old for Elphaba?

I really doubt she'll do anymore stage work unless it is some sort of special event.

In all honesty, I think she would be the ideal FILM madame morrible. I do however have a feeling that A Little Night Music will be her final Broadway show.

Lansbury as Mother Superior in SISTER ACT might be fun to see. Too long-in-the-tooth?? Thoughts...??

I think she would be a hoot as morrible, but that rakes stage will probably kill the old gal.

Let her repeat her Madame Arcati role in "Blithe Spirits" in a revival of "High Spirits" at Encores. It's a perfect mix. Heck, Christine Ebersole can play Elvira.

I was the one who said she should be Morrible, for the record. I actually think that she'd be excellent, she has that distinguished presence required for it. But apparently I'm an idiot for saying such a thing, so, never mind >>

I was thinking Elle in Legally Blonde, but only if Betty White agrees to play Paulette. (She probably could. That woman is game for anything.)

Fuerzabruta.

Preferably one of the girls splashing around in the water.

...as Annie in "Annie, All Growed Up" If the original Annie took place during the depression, then Miss Lansbury would be age appropriate for the role brought up to current times.

Kate Monster or Nellie Flatbush

She might not even be around for too long. Why are you concerned about her employment status?
