lol does Idina even have any dancing skills? Velma is one of the most challenging dance roles for a leading lady. I'm sure she could play the perfect bitch though..

I'll Second Anika Rose as Dorothy (The Wiz) !

I was thinking of that the other day. I thought they were going to try and revive that this coming year and I can only think of her in that role!

Christine Baranski in Mame

I wish "The Apple Tree" would come to Broadway with the same cast that did it at Encoures.

Anthony Warlow is the US doing anything...Broadway show, tony presenter, concert, regional theatre, etc.

I think Kelly O'Hara would make a great Lily in The Secret Garden

I would love to see Chess on Broadway with Brian D'Arcy James as Anatoly (I saw him play the role in Atlanta and he was fabulous)and Norbert as Freddie. (the American, not Benson)

Kelli O'Hara as Johanna (Sweeney Todd)
Patrick Wilson as the Balladeer (Assassins)
And a slight time warp...Elaine Stritch as Mrs. Lovett (Sweeney), just because.

I'll have to think of some straight play castings...

I agree with Sara Ramirez as Fanny Brice
She would be awesome, she has so much personality!
