Posted: 4/4/05 at 5:37pmHi. I was just watching my High School video of us doing The Wizard of Oz (RSC Version). I have to say it was adapted very well on stage. All the songs and orchestrations...anyway, I was thinking...If this show ever made it to Broadway who do you think would be a good Dorothy, out of some of the actresses out there. Doesnt have to be someone well known. A current understudy, standby? Who do you think? I think Harriet Harris would be a perfect Ms Gultch/Wicked Witch. I also think Victor Garber would make a great Professor Marvel/Wizard. Idk, I was just thinking about it :)

I TOTALLY agree with Harriet Harris! I kind of agree with Victor Garber( I LOVE his voice!!!!).
I think Sutton Foster...maybe...now that I think about it I dont know..its just a maybe. What do yall think of that?

Posted: 4/4/05 at 6:33pmIf they did that they would probably stunt cast Dorothy...Hilary Duff or someone...UGH

Posted: 4/4/05 at 7:08pmEven if Sutton Foster were 20 years old, she wouldn't be right for Dorothy. She's close to six feet tall...

If there was even an ounce of sarcasm in the last post, I didn't catch it.
Frankly, that sort of scares me.
This is my signature.
