This is something I have been thinking about posting for awhile, so I figured why not go ahead and ask. I didn't get to see Reba in Annie Get Your Gun (I was 4 when she was in it), but I've seen footage and read comments and the general opinion seems to be that she was really wonderful. I've been a fan of her since I can remember (my mom used to play "Little Rock" all the time), so I was wondering, If she were ever to do a broadway show again, what would suit her? Here's what I've come up with:
Mama in CHICAGO
Miss Hannigan in ANNIE
Miss Mona in BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE... (I don't know the show very well, but it seems like a good fit)
Mother in A CHRISTMAS STORY
Marie in R&H's CINDERELLA
The Chaperone in THE DROWSY CHAPERONE
The Witch in INTO THE WOODS
Mrs Meers in THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE
Violet in 9 TO 5
Or a new musical perhaps? Or even a play? Keep in mind I write these knowing that some are not going to be revived for awhile. Just fun to think about. It would be interesting if she was able to do one of these somewhere like the Hollywood Bowl. Any other ideas?
