Dream casting? Beyonce as Rachel

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

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

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

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

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

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.
