Just curious how you folks would cast the show... Any wish lists or personal thoughts on the possible casting of the musical?

i think i would need to hear the score before making this assessment.

...Too true... hard to tell what to expect from the Scissor Sisters (a group I, incidentally, adore).

Still, I think it's fair to say that there are some things we could expect -- Anna Madrigal would most likely be a fiftysomething alto, Mary Ann would probably be an ingenue (with some spice), etc...

i think they would be wise to use most of the book from BABYCAKES as that book tends to be the most entertaining and one that people who've only seen the mini-series won't know.
