Anne Hathaway as Mary Poppins? God damn that's dumb!
I would watch Kristen Bell in anything. I'd even pay full price to see LB with her, and that's a sacrifice I won't make for anybody else. EVER.

She'd make an amazing Elle.
"Vanessa Anne Hudgens"
Why does she even have a career?

Josh Groban in Piazza if it were still on broadway. Or Chris Brown in Hairspray.
At the risk of sounding ignorant, who is Vanessa Anne Hudgens?
Alanis Morisette as Elphaba would be really interesting although I still say Hugh Laurie in anything

The High School Musical chick
Oh God that's just what we need- a sudden wave of former High School musical obsessed tweens becoming the new Rentheads!
Edit: thanks, btw

If HSM makes it Broadway that's exactly what'll happen.
Edit: Welx, btw
Please don't jinx it- I could just imagine the herds of 12 year old girls screaming for Zac Efron throughout Times Square *shudders*
Tina Fey as Diane in Little Dog Laughed would be brilliant
I'm glad others think Alanis would be good as Elphaba!
There used to be audio somewhere of her singing "For Good" with Kristin Chenoweth. She did pretty well for a one-off gig, and it made me long to hear what she'd be able to do with "No Good Deed."
AND the tagline writes itself. "You oughta know... Alanis is in Wicked!"
The only issue is a lot of people will make stupid jokes about what Alanis has been known to do "in a theatre." But I digress...

David Cook as Roger in RENT, please!!
his One Song Glory would be like DEATH <3
and after last night I'd pay big money to see him in Phantom too But as loverly as his Music of The Night was, RENT would still be even more his forte
(and lord PLEASE NO Vanessa Hudgens as Mimi. omg that would be horrendous. The girl cannot sing or act to save her life)
I like the idea of Chris Brown in HAIRSPRAY as Seaweed.
I'm not a huge Justin Timberlake or Nick Lachey fan but both of the young singers are rumored to be in competition for Radames in the AIDA movie musical (with Beyonce and, hopefully, Christina)

ewwwwwwwww ewww ewww ew!
PLEASE no. Just... I'm too attached to Aida for THAT to happen to the movie. It would make a great movie, but.. effing NOT with THAT cast.
*prays the casting directors will wisen up and get fresh new talent that's NOT stupid mainstream pop artists who HAVE no talent*
snl - it's been pretty widely known, since they signed Beyonce, that they were aiming for a very mainstream cast.
it's the only way they'll get more of an audience. I doubt much of the mainstream are familiar with the musical..
OJ Simpson in CHICAGO. Think of the marketing possibiities.
Beginning this May someone who knows a little something about
the criminal justice system...
Or just use his mug shot with NOT GUILTY under it an the theatre info.
He should be the final Billy Flynn opposite Paris and Lindsay.
I think Deborah Harry should reclaim VELMA VON TUSSLE in Hairspray. She was the orginal after all. (and still so damn fine and talented)
Kevin
I literally LoL'd MissAnne, that was priceless!
In all seriousness, I would LOVE to see Charlie Shaughnessey back on Broadway - as Billy Flynn, or even a replacement for Tony Roberts in XANADU. Just sayin'...
Best,

Tina Fey as Diane in Little Dog Laughed would be brilliant
Yes.
I've always championed the idea of a film adaption with the original cast (well, the main three all have screen credits - don't forget, Cavemen made Julie White a SERIOUS HOLLYWOOD ACTRESS!), but this might be even better.
"OJ Simpson in CHICAGO. Think of the marketing possibiities" LMAO I would pay to see that! Talk about kharma...
Miss Piggy in Chicago and Hello, Dolly!
I think Lindsay Lohan as Roxie in Chicago would just be hilarious and almost better than Nicole Richie as Roxie.
She can carry a tune and can move (that's what they base their replacements on anyway so.....)
Just picture the audience's reaction when OJ sings "they'll let you get away with murder". I might have to pay premium prices for that moment.
Vanessa Williams as Donna???? Hahaha! Right.
