I'd like Felicia Boswell, Adrienne Warren, or Dan'yelle Williamson as Rachel.

Dream casting? Beyonce as Rachel

The first "And I" at 0:33-0:39 was breathtakingly gorgeous. Gah

Beyonce would be absolutely breath taking...but of course this has to be dream casting

Caissie Levy as Rachel Marron! Beyonce would cost the producers a fortune but the show would be a guaranteed sell out.

Take Syesha Mercado out of the Chicago BOM and put her in this.

Oh I could see that, I don't know how she slipped my mind. She won't standby for Heather though, so we'd have to wait for a replacement or the first national tour. I still want Leona Lewis involved. She has the best cover's of Whitney's songs.

I feel like a possibility would have been Jennifer Hudson. I recall reading an article about her wanting do Broadway and she would be fantastic in the role.

I always thought that Hudson would have been fantastic in Sister Act

[bwayboy22]

Posted: 8/6/13 at 4:12pm

YES! I so see that! I also think if this After Midnight (Cotton Club Parade) thing works out with alternating guests she would be really good in that!

Oh wow, JHud would be perfect as Deloris.

I actually don't really want to see Heather in the role when it transfers over. Since the West End is casting popular singers for their version, I'd like to see Beyonce (especially) or Sasha Allen. There's a lot of potential casting for this show, the list could go on

^Well,I'm sorry. It looks like Heather will be transferring with the show to Broadway.

RW3, we already knew that she was transferring....no need to remind us.

Personally, I think they are bringing Heather over to help the show get on its feet. This show could also get Heather her 2nd Tony nom and possible 2nd Tony. Then, after her run is over, the producers will then bring in people like Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson, etc. to play Rachel Marron.

Bouncey or JHud would never replace, you crazy?

Is the role of the Bodyguard a singing role?
I was thinking Patrick Wilson.

Will Chase as Frank?

I trully believe this show will be a flop....
and I'm not a negative person at all!!

Posted: 8/9/13 at 4:25pm

I kind of think that too, but I still want to see it.
