SIDE SHOW Revival Casting

Posted: 3/16/08 at 8:51pm

I know there is another thread discussing the news of the revival, but I wanted to have just dicussion of dream casting here, seperately.

That'd be AMAZING, except they'd need to make Kennedy taller to meet Shindle's height.

Here's some other pairing I've been thinking about:

Lauren Kennedy & Kelli O'Hara
Laura Benanti & Stephanie. J Block
Anika Noni Rose & Nikki Renee Daniels
Catherine Brunell & Sherie Renee Scott

"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."
--Aristotle

I have no doubt that they will pick two amazing performers to play these roles...I like your pairs though.

I think the casting is going to be phenomenal...this show is amazing I'm so glad it's coming back!

Love the idea of Anika Noni Rose and Nikki Renee Daniels (cues everyone saying how the real Hilton sisters were white and it'd be historically inaccurate blah blah blah). I love it. Though I rather see Ramona Keller paired with Rose.
No Kelli O'Hara please, she makes me yawn.
How about Erin Davie and Sara Gettelfinger???
Okay, maybe not, but I do think Davie would make a fabulous Hilton sister with someone like Mamie Gummer, perhaps? (can Gummer sing?).

Shame...Jill Paice will be busy playing kissy-face with Rhett Butler.

And Sara Gettelfinger would need an equally tall co-star...she's so leggy!

Jill Paice is far too bland. Plus, she'll be busy with Gone with the Wind.

Ramona Keller is too old to be paired with Anika Noni Rose. They'd never be able to pass for twins.

Megan Hilty, while an excellent suggestion, will be in 9 to 5.

I figured....but I felt like being glib.

Who would we pair with Ms. Ramirez? It is my duty to suggest: Leslie Kritzer.

EDIT: we, not be
