Sir Ian for King George in Hamilton

It would get me back to see it again.

What are good musical roles for a man over 80 with a somewhat limited vocal range?

Taking the definition of "star" liberally, he'd be kind of a waste as Merlyn or Mr. Lundie or Finian or Joe Waitress. Is there a male equivalent of Mrs. Higgins or Madame Armfeldt?

Ok, stay with me here:

Ian McKellen as Henry Higgins
Audra McDonald as Eliza
Andre de Shields as Alfred Doolittle

Keep the 2018 revival's ending. And change the script to make Mrs. Higgins Henry's sister instead of mother.

Yes, I'm doing some gymnastics to make it plausible. But come on! Sir Ian McKellen as Henry Higgins!

My first thought was honestly genderbend Madame Armfeldt for him. Imagine an Ian Mckellan/Audra Mcdonald little night music. Or really any other big names they could get for Deisiree.

I always thought it would be cool if PBS did a documentary series following a famous actor doing cameos in 8 different Broadway shows in one week. McKellan would be great. I thought Meryl would be good, too.

That's a GREAT idea. Or Daniel Radcliffe or Ethan Slater.
