Well, since she has been taking acting lessons...
Dolly Levi in Hello Dolly.

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

"Faye Dunaway - The Musical"
(I know, I know. It's not a revival or current show. Sorry.)

Not current, but she would be perfect as Marguerite in the Scarlet Pimpernel (Hey, she was on the cast recording...)

Anything that is not associated with Frank Wildhorn. Why isn't this woman on Broadway???

Perfect roles:

Aldonza - Man of La Mancha
Fanny Brice - Funny Girl (although is may be too old/pretty at this point)
Florence - Chess
Fosca - Passion

The truly beautiful should be lawfully restricted from wearing clothing; and the truly butt-ugly should be lawfully mandated from going naked.

Fosca???

Aldonza, Fanny, yes - but Fosca??

How about Velma Von Tussle?

I would see her being able to sing Liza's (or even Judy...) material in BFO.
And if she'll say, "My darling, I'm yours!" I'll throw away my striped tie and my best pressed tweed, all I really need is the girl...

I love her, but I have no idea.

She could sing the hell out of Lucille in Parade.

She may be too young, but I'd like to see her as Moma Rose in "Gypsy." I've been hearing amazing things about "Camille Claudel," and I think it's sad it may not make it to Broadway. Maybe as Nancy in "Oliver!" as well.

Although I agree she could sing the hell out of Lucille's songs in PARADE, I can't help but curse you for saying that because no one, NO ONE will be able to top the stunning Carolee Carmello.

Now back to Linda...

Maybe I'm crazy, but wouldn't you like to see her in SHOW BOAT singing the heck out of 'Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man'? Otherwise, I'd like to see her try Sarah in GUYS AND DOLLS.

Jwaa, yes, I know this, but Bernadette Peters is older and her being "too young and sexy" was an issue, am I wrong?

I agree, trash, it seems almost impossible to top Carolee. She is an amazing singer.

What about Martha in The Secret Garden. Yes she may be a little too old but she would be AMAZING on "Hold on".

I too would prefer to see Camille Claudel come in - I saw it in Connecticut and she was amazing in it.

If Les Mis does do a revival...........Linda would make a perfect Fantine....I could here her now singing "I Dreamed a Dream".........she should go join the touring cast.

Unmasked05 - Mary Poppins - now that's intriguing? I haven't seen the show, but Linda could definitely have the vocals and the look.
