I WISH Patti LuPone would PLAY Mama Rose. Not just during Roses Turn. But for the whole show. That would really be something I think.

And on the flip side of that, Lauren Molina as Giselle in a stage version of Enchanted.

Could be a good one, but I would most love to see James Barbour in "The Count of Monte Cristo"! I think he would be perfect for the part. Of course, I'm not sure if there is a musical out there yet for this, but he could also be brilliant, even if NOT a musical...

(He's gone on record as saying it's the role he'd like to play in the future, so here's hoping!)

I would love to see David Burnham play Tony in West Side Story.
"Maria" is on his CD and is voice is just so nice to listen to.

And I know Amy Adams said she would want to Elphaba and not Glinda, but I think she'd be great as Glinda.

Orfeh as Eva Peron and Lady Of The Lake are just obvious but here's one, how about Orfeh as Velma Kelly and Bundy as Roxie, now there's an interesting one that hasn't been mentioned yet.

hmm, that's a good one FosterChild. Careful though, that might send the woman who is teaching our youth "screaming out of the theater".

Audra McDonald WILL play Mama Rose someday, and she WILL be brilliant!

I have like a billion of these, but this is the one I've been thinking about the most over the past couple of days-

I agree for David Burnham as Tony- so so so much. I really hope he gets the chance too some day.

I also forgot- Adam Pascal said he has two dream roles - Phantom and Mark [RENT]- I'd like to see him in either to see his diversity.

Orfeh and Laura Bell Bundy as Velma and Roxie, that's just about as close to perfect casting as it gets.
