Posted: 7/1/06 at 11:34pmI know she has stated that she doesn't want to do revivals, but can anyone else see her starring as Mama Rose in a Gypsy revival about twenty years from now. I know its a long time away and we have no idea how she'll grow and change in that time, but right now I can see that happening.

Less than 5 minutes ago I put "Not for the Life of Me" as the song on my myspace.

Posted: 7/1/06 at 11:39pmI don't think so... but we'll have to see in about 20 years.

Posted: 7/1/06 at 11:53pmThere are other current young women who I'd think of putting in the role first, but I think she could be a unique choice.

There's really no telling what Sutton will be like in 20 years.
However, when I think of the actresses on Broadway right now, I don't see that many of them having staying power... but, I can see Sutton being a star for years to come. And I'm not that big of a Sutton fan, so I'm not just saying that because I love her.

At the risk of being hounded and laughed at by people who are probably just too unimaginative to open their minds to it: Idina Menzel.
Also...Julia Murney.

Posted: 7/2/06 at 12:25amI don't know about Idina, I love her, but I don't think she would fit it right. But Julia Murney, now thats an interesting idea.

Posted: 7/2/06 at 12:27amI can see Idina as Mama Rose. It Bernadette can do it, she can.

Posted: 7/2/06 at 2:08amI once asked Sutton if she would ever consider playing Mama Rose, and she said absolutely. And no worries, BroadwayGirl, Idina would make a fine Rose in fifteen years or so.

In 20 years, Sutton will be 51. If she is to be Rose--and Gypsy tends to get a revival every 12 years or so--it will be in the next revival, when she is in her early forties, in around 2016, which makes sense age-wise for the role.

Posted: 7/2/06 at 6:53amI think Sutton would make a great Mame in 20 years. I was thinking that when I saw Mame last week.
