Don't you love him.
He is so great.
Don't you think he would be an amazing EDNA TURNBLAD.

Posted: 1/16/05 at 10:26pmYes I do! I was just watching him on the red carpet of the golden globes show....anyone else know he had such beautiful kids?? I've never seen them or his wife before. Do you know what nationality she is? Great mix! GORGEOUS kids! Who knew!? C'mon, I love ya Robin but thank God it doesn't look like they're as hairy as you... Ok, I'm going to feel very silly if they are adopted. Updated On: 1/16/05 at 10:26 PM

He is so funny. I think he would be a hoot as Edna.
And all that hair would have to go.

HOOK 
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 1/16/05 at 10:57pmGood Morning Vietnam, Mrs Doubtfire. He is a brilliant actor and very funny.
#16re: Robin Williams
Posted: 1/16/05 at 10:58pmThis might be totally random, but i think he would be awesome to have in the Las Vegas Production of Avenue Q. He might not have the classic seseme street type voices... but he would do something very creative and i am sure he would be HALARIOUS!!!!!!

Robin Williams in Q? I don't think so.
But he would be great as Edna Turnblad.

"This is what I trained to do, and this is what I love about theater. What I love about being an actress is being able to really look into myself and understand another human being. And out my own self, to shape and form and fashion a real human being--and to present that in such a way that people see something of themselves or their own understanding in that human being."

Posted: 1/16/05 at 11:14pmI love Robin Williams. I think he is the funniest man alive. He is just hilarious, and I laughed the entire time during his speech at the Golden Globes.

Do you think he can pull of Tevye in Fiddler? Lol, just a thought, if he got a beard.
