[Oscar Jaffee]

Needless to say, I'm elated about the "On the Twentieth Century" Actor's Fund concert scheduled for Sept. 26 in NYC. I won't be able to attend, but I'm tickled that it is being revived, if only as a one-night event. Casting hasn't been announced yet, so who do you all think should play the key roles?

Carolee Carmello for Lily

I am not so sure about the Oscar role, though...it has to be an actor with the chops to be overly dramatic at times (I keep thinking of the Barrymore speeches and "suicide" scene).

Maybe Nathan Lane or an actor of that type?

There is already a thread about this.

P.S. I still think that Kristin Chenoweth would make a great Mildred Plotka/Lily Garland.

Kevin Kline as Oscar Jaffe. And if he's not available (bite my tongue), then how's 'bout Doug Sills?

Kristin as Lily
Kevin Kline would be a great Oscar or Brian Stokes Mitchell
