Compared to others I can see why people say she can't sing..personally I love her, and I think her part in Once Upon a Mattress was recorded perfectly. But I just STILL don't see her as Rosemary..

I think her voice is unexceptional, but not bad. She'd be good as Roxie I bet. I can sort of see her in The Pajama Game also.

I thought she was really good in "How to Succeed in Business"

Oh, JoeMike, tell us more about Sarah's turn in How To Succeed...
I don't see her in The Pajama Game just because I think that's a bad show, and I don't like the character of Baby. I see Sarah Jessica Parker in a meatier role, she could act Roxie but can she dance the role? I don't want Sarah Jessica Parker to be mocked by everyone just like Melanie Griffith.

The problem with SJP is she is a child star that still thinks she can sing. She can't. Seriously.

Now plays or even a non-singing role in a musical, I'd think she be grand, but anything that requires her to belt or wabble something out... no...

If Sweet Charity wasn't closing, I'd say she could play Charity.

"I see Sarah Jessica Parker in a meatier role, she could act Roxie but can she dance the role?"

She has a lot of background in dance. I don't think it would be a problem for her.

SHE CAN SING! She isn't some powerhouse vocalist, but she can hold her own. Anyways, I think I'd rather see an actress with a nice voice that can actually ACT while singing a song then just have some crazy belter sing the **** out of a song. That is something that SJP can do. I can't say the same for some current and recent Broadway actresses.

I mean Christina Applegate was great in Sweet Charity, is she a great singer? Of course not, but she made the role her own and she was the star of the show. Am I saying that Sarah Jessica Parker should sing the role of Glinda? Or that she should be the next Christine? No. I just think she's a great actress who has a lot of presence, and that even if she doesn't have a mind-blowing singing voice, she could do a great show that doesn't require a big belter or anything like that.
And if she indeed has background in dancing, then what are the Weisslers waiting for to cast her as the next Roxie Hart?

I would be excited if SJP came back to the stage. I trully love her! I liked her in H$S, and enjoy her musical-comedy voice in once upon a mattress. I think as everyone stated, she isn't a belter. She definitely can hold her own, though. If a musical-comedy role came along, I think she would be gread.

However, I would love to see her in a straight play. I think she could show her real acting ability if she did a drama or comedy.

I am glad she's pondering coming back to the stage, and not just turning into a Stage-Actress turned TV/Movie star who thinks they are too good for B'way.

Personally, I would love to see her back in those Gap commercials.
