Seth McFartjoke would definitely bring the smarm. He wouldn't need to act, he could just behave.
I agree, he's great in that he offends every single time of person in the world. I also think a lot of people didn't understand that most of the people he called out when he hosted the Oscars were in on the joke. He's great but I doubt he will do this.

I'm very anxious to see how Seth MacFarlane is in this. Great casting! Updated On: 5/13/14 at 10:25 PM
Well, in case Seth isn't available:

Just Jack and Megan Hilty. Although it'd be a shame to lose Seth.

America accepting gay pro football players is one thing, but your dream is a bit far off in the distance I think.
Plus, I don't think Seth is brave enough to do it.

Just as an aside, the last time it was on Broadway was in 2001. A few months after 9/11, I found tickets for 9/15/01 which I'd completely forgotten about.

I think it's great that they're confident enough about their live musicals to announce this even before Peter Pan airs. Hope there'll be more to come.

Okay, Charlie White would be great in CRAZY FOR YOU, but how about starring him in a revival of GEORGE M!
If Justin Timberlake would consider doing this, I think he'd be great.
Kristen Bell as Marion. She's red hot now as Princess Anna.
I think Kristen Bell would be great as Marion. I'm still on the Seth Macfarlane train. Timberlake isn't quite right...too pretty boy. (I love Macfarlane's rendition of "Ya Got Trouble" at the Proms-that's really great. He sells the song and has a great sense of character.)

Whatever happened to Seth McPoopJoke's The Flintstones remake? He'll be a great Henry Hill.
dreaming--why don't you start a petition at change.org?
Also, you could create a hashtag: #HeyFoxWhyNotCastSethMacFforHaroldHill?

Seth singing "Ya Got Trouble" perfectly. Wow.
Trouble
To be fair, I'm judging his ability to pull off Trouble based on his desire to lip sync NIcki Minaj, but I'm still picking Joseph Gordon Levitt as my Harold Hill.

Do people not understand how networks work? Neil Patrick Harris doesn't seem to be attached to a network now, so he's a more realistic choice unless NBC wants to hire people from within their family (so actors from NBC or USA). Would love to see Laura Benanti as Marian but obviously that's not happening. Kristen Bell would definitely be great.
Can Chris Pratt sing? He'd be my top choice from the NBC slate.
