Maybe she can replace Judy Kuhn!

lmfaooo
are there any roles for her in Falsettos or Whorehouse? I don't know those shows to well. Or maybe she can play Golde again in Fiddler

"Or maybe she can play Golde again in Fiddler"
I think that may be the biggest impediment to wrapping my head around other suitable roles for her.
Seriously, I think a big part of the problem is that, no matter what she is cast in, at this point I think we'd get 80% Rosie and 20% the role.

haha yeah, but she is hilarious!! She would have been a great Madame in Cinderella. She can play Madame Morrible in Wicked. Or Mama Morton in Chicago. But i want her to be in a new production!!

Rosie is a triple threat performer: can't sing, can't dance, can't act!

"Or Mama Morton in Chicago."

I wonder if Philly's actually Paul Wontorek.

No No [and I don't mean Nanette]---Nothing. Zipp !!
True--can't stand the person.

A friend of mine worked with her in Grease. Said that she was a nightmare to work with. I don't find her particularly funny and she seems mean. So no, I wouldn't like to see her back on Broadway any time soon.

Rosie needs to stay as far away from Broadway (and everything else) as humanly possible.
Except maybe a mental institution.

If her experiences while working with "The View" is any indication, then many would like Rosie to stay far, far away from Broadway. Although she does a lot for charity...especially theatre education for children, I get the sense that her experiences with adults are more problematic. Rosie seems to want to be top dog anywhere and everywhere. She needs to stay the heck away from musicals. I don't think my ears could stand the torture.

I never understood the appeal of Rosie, personally. She always comes across to me as unfunny, way too boisterous, and really annoying with her comedy and acting. I'm sure it was a nightmare for those who had to sit through her performance in Fiddler. Plus, like some other posters have said EVERYBODY I know who has worked with her always says she's a horror to work with. Now I'm sorry I might come across as simply "hating" on Rosie but it's honestly just my opinion of her comedy, acting, and how most view her as a person. It's time for her to retire.

I only recently found out she played Golde. I always assumed she played Tevye.

Her health hasn't been great over the last few years and her schedule on THE VIEW taxed her, which is one of the many reasons why she left suddenly. I doubt she would be able to maintain an eight-show-a-week workload even if she wanted to.

God works in mysterious ways---thank God.

Awesome comment! HA
Sorry Rosie...we've tried. I've attended more than one show that she was in. Will someone please give her a paper bag so she can try to carry the tune in it?

I do love that she has been very supportive of the Broadway community in the past.
But what about Caroline Rhea. Would love to see her on Broadway.
Posted: 6/18/15 at 10:16am
Actually, her role in No No Nanette at Encores was the one show I've seen her in that I actually found her to be enjoyable.
Posted: 6/18/15 at 10:50am
I saw her in Grease and she ostentatiously half-assed it, did the whole show with a dramatically bored look on her face. I don't remember the details, but didn't she have some sort of public dispute or falling out involving the show? At the time, I attributed her terrible performance as her petty way of getting back at whoever she was beefing with.
Posted: 6/18/15 at 11:12am
I think she would be great if properly cast in something
