Seems silly not to try this since the show is doing so well. Who would be a great Dr. King?

I think they need a star to keep this going...what about Daniel Radcliffe? He should be free by then.

In all seriousness what about Denzel Washington? I think he would make a really good MLK and he certainly has the star power. I don't know if this would be practical/if he's involved with any projects right now but that would be my dream.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Doubtful Washington would take a replacement role, but no doubt he would be great.

Unless I'm reading this incorrectly, it sounds like they only are looking to recast Jackson, not Bassett, and even then, only temporarily.

More interesting to me, though, is the possibility of a filming. That would be nice.
