For some reason, Paul Newman came to mind...it would be a fitting tribute to end his career with, and be remembered for the stage, as well. And, if his wife joins him, so much the better!

Bernadette Peters, too.

Why do you want Paul Newman to die?

Ew. Hatred for Newman... not cool. I think it would be a fitting tribute if your thread got deleted. Jackass.


But actually, my vote is for Chip Zein.

and what about Malcolm Gets?? well, it feels like so long. I MISS HIM on the Broadway stage! re: What actors, away from Bway for a while, would you like to see back ons

Chip Zien? You mean the Chip Zien that's playing a role in COUNTRY GIRL?
My vote is for the one and only Meryl Streep.
After her, I'd say Kristen Bell and Bernadette Peters.

Trekkie2..WHERE did you get the idea that I "want" Paul Newman to die?! Please, let's read things for what they are. Mr. Newman has not done much lately, and I am a fan, so if he decides not to do anything else after that, going back to the stage would be a great thing to leave us with.

And TooDarnHot...your statement is what qualifies for the "Jackass" award. I am NEITHER a PN "hater" (read above), and I chose him with a great deal of respect for the actor AND man. Not sure how you interpret things "toodarnwrong"! ={

Oh, I forgot about Jane Krakowski. And I agree with Ljay about Ann Reinking. Bebe Neuwirth was on Broadway last year, so I'm okay with her taking a bit of a break (same reason I haven't mentioned la Murphy).

OH. I forgot Bebe returned to CHICAGO as Roxie. I still cannot believe I missed that. But I would like to see her in something else besides Chicago.

You guys need to see Caroline O'Connor again.

Seriously, Chip Zien is on THE COUNTRY GIRL, I don't see how that qualifies him as being "away from Broadway for a while." He is on Broadway!
