Glenn Close as Amalia in SHE LOVES ME.

She wouldn't even make it through ONE performance, she'd pass out and need oxygen during "Vanilla Ice Cream" :)

Stritch as Aldonza. "Look at the kitchen slut reeking of sweat"

ewwwwww

Hi Matt, :)

If Stritch played Aldonza, she would convince Don Quixote he was a fake and failure. "The Impossible Dream" Would Be Cut.

Show would end with muleteers "having their way" with Stritch. :)

Ryan Styles (of TV's "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" fame), as Carol Channing, as Roxie Hart!

"I'm gonna get meeee, a whole BUNCH of boyeeeesss!"

Hi Areinking fan, :)

Let me meake sure I understand:

Your scary cast is to have Ryan Stiles play Roxie Hart in CHICAGO as if he were Carol Channing?

If that's your point, that is not scaring!

IT COULD REPLACE SHOCK THERAPY!!!

Ahh Glebb...are you calling my Annie aged? lol Yeah. I guess the days of DANCIN's "Trumpet Solo" are gone. That's alright.

How about...

Lea DeLaria as Cassie in A CHORUS LINE? ("All she really needs is the music, and the mirror, and...")

Anne Reinking as Anne Egerman would be...strange, to say the least.

Staying with ALNM: Idina Menzel as Desiree.

Hi DGrant, :)

Britney as Eliza? Oh please... she would capture nuances of character about as quickly as a 33 1/3 LP played at 16 1/2 speed (Remember?) :

Perhaps Simon Cowell could play Henry.

Dgrant, :)

Perhaps your version of MY FAIR LADY could replace the death penalty.

Sarah Brightman as Effie White

[Mattio98]

Posted: 10/10/04 at 1:35pm

She would never be cast in that show. ALW didn't write it.

Hey Governer... :)

What are you trying to do--mount the first production of A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC that failed?

(Except of course for that icky film version. Don't get me started on Elizabeth Taylor singing!) :)

[broadwaystar2b]

Liz Taylor sang?!
now I'm scared
