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

Yes 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.

I still laugh every time I watch Robin on Broadway. The man it a genius. I'd love to see him do a musical. He sang in Aladdin, so yeah, go for it!

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

"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."

This 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.

I 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.
