I just thought about this but she could really play Madame Morrible in Wicked. She would be great for the role.

What do you think?

I would run to the theatre to go see her perform as Madame Morrible. I really think she shoud consider playing the role.

She can handle a much tougher role than that.

I doubt she'd take such a small part.

Quite frankly I think that almost any actress can play that role. There's really nothing much to it.

if Rue McClanahan can play the role, then it's obvious that there is nothing to this role and anyone can play it - i doubt Sheryl Lee would want to go into this show.

I think Angela Lansbury should play the role!

I seem to recall a L.A production of 'Applause' that she was in. I recommend her coming back to broadway as the star!

GIVE me a break! The woman may be old but she can still act. And I'm sure she has more talent in her pinky toe than you do in your whole body.

What is with the Rue bashing? Maybe Morrible wasn't a perfect fit but she's had a healthy and great career, and I'm tired of people spitting all over it and then praising Shoshana Bean in another thread. Makes no sense.

"She can handle a much tougher role than that.

I agree with Foanatic.

She would be great as Morrible, but she can do much more than that. Sheryl is so talented!!! it would be a waste of talent.

Thank you Foanatic! How can you judge a whole career on one part? Especially on a part like that?(I don't need to bother bashing the show and the character, since so many others have done it so eloquently before me) But even in the last couple of years she has gotten good notices for her stage turns in The Women and Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks(out of town). And do we even have to bring up her tv career?

I think Sheryl would make a great Morrible.

Call her agent... now!

Sheryl would teach Elphaba like she taught Moesha to be a good girl.

Add me to the list of those tired of the Rue bashing.

Get over it. Morrible is a sh*t role. No need to judge her acting or base her career on a role like that.

Sheryl would be great.

I also think Phylicia Rashad would make a fantastic Morrible.

sheryl could do it, but her millie co-star, harriet harris would be a much better fit
