What about Liza as THE DROWSY CHAPERONE?

Posted: 2/9/07 at 4:26pm

I think that Liza would be an interesting choice as the DROWSY CHAPERONE. I know that it's a supporting role, but she is getting older and might really enjoy being in this wonderful show. The song, "As We Stumble Along", is right up her alley. What do you think? Just a thought!

I believe there's been several threads on the debate of casting for this role, most of them specifically discussing Minelli as a possibility.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

I love me some Liza, but insurers would balk. Liza has a hard time following through on commitments. Eight shows a week ain't her bag, baby. I've had tickets for her several times (different tours, different cities, different years) and all were cancelled. Liza is a gamble, not in terms of talent, but definitely follow through.

She would be awesome.

I thought her health (ie dependability) were much improved lately. I think she'd be terrific, and (obviously) a sensational draw.

She could do it, but I almost feel as if she would be spoofing herself. Although, she may be up for that.

I'd love to see it.

Rue would be a good DRUNK Drowsy, but she'd have to sing-talk like she did in WICKED.

The DROWSY CHAPERONE doesn't pull in enough gross to cover what it would cost to insure Liza Minnelli in the production. The same reason is what kept her mom from playing MAME. Sad but true.

You know honestly....

I'd much rather see her as Joanne in the Company Revival. Now that would attract an audience. Maybe they could use real booze in the glasses. I could just see her now trying to multi task the triangle and dragging those bells across the stage.

Deborah Monk or Karen Ziemba as The Drowsy Chaperone?

Debbie Reynolds as Ms. Tottendale?

I was watching Arrested Development too! - right after reading this thread, as a matter of fact.

I want to see Rachel York as the Chaperone.
