Posted: 3/24/04 at 5:24pmI agree about Mya. And Clay for that matter (maybe even a Mark?). Call me crazy, but I can see Queen Latifa playing Joanne...she has a really good voice for that part. I can also see Christina somewhere...not to be repetitive, but I can see her as Maureen. Of course, these are all mostly based on their voices...I'm not quite sure how any of the act accept for Queen. But I can just here Christina singing "We've got ta got ta got ta got ta got ta got ta got ta got ta (etc.) find a way! To jump over the moon.."

ive always thought so too, rentaholic. if they did a movie i wouldnt be against casting her. but that is another thread altogether...
id like to see a carmen jones revival with beyonce, i happen to think she is very talented and not an altogther terrible actress either. with a little work, who knows?

...Maybe w/ some acting lessons:
CHRISTINA AGUILERA. I love her voice, as long as she doesn't riff. Ehh, I hate when pop stars do that.

Posted: 3/24/04 at 7:30pmI'll tell you what needs to happen on this "Broadway" stage of yours. I mean if you want the real sell out ish, and some major rockin on the sometimes not-so-enthralling stage, I'm gonna go ahead and say you need Jack Black and Kyle Glass of Tenacious D. Now I know theyre not so much pop stars as total super geniuses of the universe, but their sheer presence would definately roack your pantalones off the tower!!!

I think that Clay Aiken could play:
Mark in Rent
Boq in Wicked
Seymour in LSOH
Willard in Footloose
Bobby Strong in Urinetown
Jack in Into The Woods
Man 1 in Songs For A New World
Jaime in L5Y (if he wasn't so aryan looking)
Christina Aguilera:
Maureen in Rent
Amneris in Aida
Elphaba in Wicked??? (I guess I picture her as an Idina-type)
And if Whitney Houston was a bit younger (and conscious):
Aida in Aida
