I think Beverly D'Angelo would also be a fun choice for the part.

I agree with Auggie27. Someone else from C&W...
I'd like to see Tricia Yearwood do it.

I think Bonnie Rait should be The Madam. Her dad was on Broadway and she is an AMAZING country singer!
And I'd like to see Dana Carvey as the Governor, doing a G Du,byah impression. And Len Cariou as the Sherrif.

I know Carol Hall wrote songs for “Sesame Street” and “Free to Be…”, but has she ever written anything else for the theater beyond the two “Whorehouse” scores?

I am so completely uninterested in this year's concert, what a bad choice.
when ducks grow thumbs then maybe my opinion will change.

Ooh, Calvin! Fantastic idea.
If we're looking at Country artists, why not Wynnona? Sure, she might end up eating the cast by accident when she opens her mouth to sing, but she'd knock out that role.

Let's hope Dolly will do it!!!

Isn't Struthers playing Mona up at Ogunquit this summer? Or was that last season?

Yes! Debra Monk would make a wonderful addition to the audience for this show. Great idea!

I still like the Carlyn Glynn take on the role, and think the uber diva style -- Dolly and her ilk -- oversells it. Mona is non-nonsense, in some ways, no frills.
How about Edie Falco? She has the requisite world-weariness, vulnerability, and strength. And apparently, great pipes.

Reba would be remarkable. I'd love to hear her sing "Bus from Amarillo", one of my favorite theatre songs.

I love Debra Monk, but I really don't need to ever hear her sing again.
ETA - Well, maybe as Mrs. Miller. They have the same vibrato.
If they do rotating Monas for each scene - I really do hope they bring back Carlin Glynn - she is Miss Mona and will never be equaled in the role.

And Marin Mazzie will be Angel, the whore in the Dolly Parton wig who brings Shy to the Whorehouse.
Roger Bart will be Melvin P. Thorpe.
Gary Beach will be the Mayor
Who, however, will be the Sherrif? THAT actually might be a good role for Debra Monk.

You guys for got Harvey.
And Emily Skinner, who, now that I think of it, might not be a bad casting choice for Mona.
Except she's a tad young.
