Colin was my first choice but I didn't post it here because people would just say he doesn't look Jewish enough.

I believe there is a thread out there already on this but I couldn't find it. That being said, the best choice is
Jeremy Jordan and wife Ashley Spencer.

Posted: 8/13/12 at 10:28amDespite my overall dislike for this show, I would go see a revival with Steve Kazee. One of the main reasons I didn't like it was because of Jamie's character, and Steve has managed to make Guy (who I would generally read as whiny and dull) not distractingly annoying for me. So I'd be interested to see if he can make me like Jamie.

I would love to Megan Hilty as Cathy, if they could work around her smash schedule. If not is their any specific line that makes it seem like cathy has to be white? I would love to see an ethnic Cathy, like Anika Noni Rose, or Karen Olivo. If we were to stay in the Hilty mold, i think Rachel Potter, or Morgan James could be good.

Posted: 8/13/12 at 10:58amJason Robert Brown has already gone on record saying he's perfectly open to the idea of casting Cathy ethnically for this production. The only things in the script about her ethnicity establish that she's Irish-Catholic and a "Shiksa," meaning non-Jewish.

Posted: 8/13/12 at 11:17amWhy do idiots have to come into a thread just to piss on it? If you hate Last 5 Years, just ignore threads about it.

Paging Anika Noni Rose or Karen Olivo...and if they're not available, then call Mandy Rodriguez.
Steve Kazee would be perfection as Jaime.

Here's Anika's i could do better than that. (Be warned the arrangement is a little bit different.) She's also a friend of JRBs so i would defiantly not rule her out.

I've always had a slight problem with the character of Cathy. She's riddled with self-doubt and can't book a half-way decent acting job. So, when a leading goddess comes out and blows the roof off the joint, I'm all, 'The hell is she doing spending a summer in Ohio????'
Since I wouldn't want to hear the score sung badly, maybe someone who's a little voluptuous for the part? Someone who isn't 'leading lady'? Like Lindsay Mendez perhaps?

I always thought that Climbing Uphill showed that she is not that great at auditions. And the way she describes the girls auditioning with her makes it look like she's auditioning for the wrong parts.

Posted: 8/13/12 at 3:53pmI totally get that. And that's how I've always rationalized it to myself. But it would be interesting to see someone less 'leading lady' in the part. I always kinda felt like Sherie Renee Scott could kick Norbet's ass while belting a high G.

Posted: 8/13/12 at 4:06pmAfter hearing Laura Benanti sing "Still Hurting", I truly want to see her do the whole show. Sadly, she's filming a show that will be canceled soon.
