"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

I'm rolling with the Tina Fey idea

Tina Fey deserves to have a musical or play built around her, not just be sitting on stage alone for 90 minutes.

I may have been a little hasty when I said BD Wong earlier. While I do have enormous respect for the man's talent in so many different vehicles, I don't know that he could captivate me for a full one man show.

I'd say Mary Testa could do a hilarious one woman show...

But if you want a celebrity, I would have to go with Idina.

Well, he's almost already doing it (or done it, with "Back to Broadway"), James Barbour, of course.
And I would pay to see Steve Martin in anything

I love how post-Palin, Tina Fey is God. And deservedly so.

Elton John! Or how 'bout Bill Cosby. Or DiNero.

Ah, you're right. Silly me!

Just of curiosity frogs_fan85, does your username indicate that you enjoy Stephen Sondheim's 'Frogs'?

"I second Bette Midler. I'm surprised she hasn't had one already...?"

She most certainly has! She played the Palace in 1973 for roughly the same weeks that Liza did it this past year. Michael Bennett and Andre De Shields both choreographed!

Sometime later in the 70s, she did a revue based around herself for a few months on Broadway, and sang everything from The Bitch Is Back to Delta Dawn to Lullaby of Broadway!

She also did Divine Madness on Broadway at the Majestic and Marc Shaiman worked on it. Let's face it. Both of these were practically one woman shows.

Of course, she hasn't been back since then for a real run, so I'm all for it too!

[title of show] on Broadway. it's time. believe.
