Rosie was a b*tch about the whole Grease thing in general.

When she was getting to close to leaving, I believe she said "This show will close without me." And then they got Brooke Shields, and she even got to replace Rosie's awful vocals on the Cast Recording.. frankly, Brooke sang the role a heck of a lot better than Rosie.

I think it could be cool!

My problem is that Rosie O'Donnell nearly always plays Rosie O'Donnell -- I can see her getting some easy laughs as Mme. Thenardier, but I can't imagine her actually creating the illusion that she's a rural French inn-keeper. She'd far more likely seem like Rosie O'Donnell deposited by time machine and bad luck in the village of Montfermeil in 1823.

If this would have come up 5 months ago I would have thought that Rosie would be a horible choice. That said, after seeing her in Fiddler (where she actually acted) and in that tv movie (which also showed her acting rather well) I think this is a great choice. I believe her voice has actually gotten better since Grease (it was actually good in Fiddler) and that she could easilly handle the singing part of the show. If this is turns out to be true it will be just one more reason for me to buy a ticket (even though I will if she isn't in the show)

I think Rosie does have the potential to be a good Madame Thenardier if this does happen.

I could actually see this as one of the very few roles she could play sucessfully.

She looks the part, but she cannot act.
