Posted: 1/28/07 at 10:40pmI think Sutton would be a better Maggie. It's too small a part, but she would be amazing.

Judy Garland and Liza Minnelli as Mama Rose and Louise.
I saw an interview it Sondheim once where he said it almost actually happened.

Rebecca Luker as Lizzie in 110 in the Shade
Kristin Chenoweth as Lizzie in 110 in the Shade
I'm glad I saw Inga Swenson as Lizzie in 110 in the Shade. There are people who are right for the role today. Too bad they don't get cast.

Posted: 1/28/07 at 11:00pmI was thinking that Cyndi Lauper could pull off Fantine, giving the character the sound that they probably wanted with Daphne...

I can't think of any right now, though I know I have tons and tons, I'm tired.
But how's Cabaret? I'm hoping to see it this weekend.
(And you seem to be a bigger LuPone fan than you let on... just kiddin')

Posted: 1/28/07 at 11:48pmSutton Foster as Perta in "A Little Night Music"! However, now I feel that Sutton would only do the role in a Concert Version type form, but since a Revival still hasn't happened, a concert version would be fine with me!

Patti LuPone in both "Annie Get Your Gun" of Mama Rose in "Gypsy". I know she did Ravina, but I would love to see her do it at the Kennedy Center or some place where I could see her on stage. But I think the Kennedy Center would be ideal because "Gypsy" just left broadway and the "Kennedy Center" would allow her the freedom to continue her work from Ravina.
Also I think that Chenowith would make an interesting "Evita". She has the body, the voice and I think she could pull of the character.
Finally, I would love to see Elena Roger as "Evita" on broadway.

Wow, I just started reading Kaye Ballard's book. She actually played Mama Rose twice. Once in Dallas, and once somewhere else.
I was going to say I'd would have liked to see her tackle Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd or Miss Hannigan in Annie.

Posted: 1/29/07 at 1:04amAngela Lansbury as either Phyllis or Sally in "Follies". Not sure which one she would be more suited for, but probably Phyllis.

Posted: 1/29/07 at 6:56amI've said this a couple times before; but I'm still all for it. Adam Pascal would be a fabulous Freddy Trumper in Chess (if they ever revive it...)

Posted: 1/29/07 at 10:39amLove the idea of Bert lahr in FORUM, but i always hoped to see the immortal Benny Hill as Pseudolous.
