Listening to my Hair CD, I can't help but wonder what show we will have to look forward to this fall for the 2005 Actor's Fund Benefit concert. The choices and the casts of the past shows have been stellar. Wish list anyone? As with the multiple Fanny's in Funny Girl, I'd love to see our great Diva belters sink their teeth into Evita. And then imagine all the wonderful Che's as well!

<------------ Che.


The end.

::shrugs:: I heard something about JCS, but that was quite a while ago. At a Chatterbox, or something, maybe. I don't even remember.

Oh God! I HOPE it's Good Vibrations!! Then, it can be recorded and have the Cast Recording it (And EVERY musical) so richly deserves!!!!!

Wasn't there some rumor about La Lupone and La Patinkin reuniting for an Evita concert?

They just did Hair - Godspell is too close in style.

I definitely like the Evita idea, either with the newfangled idea of a succession of Evitas/Ches or with the aforementioned reuniting of Patinkin and LuPone.

I think Godspell would be great!

Yes! Drood!!!!!!!!!!

Not only does it give the show the attention it deserves, not only does it give a chance for some GREAT performances, but then they could make a CD that isn't $100 on Amazon! Kristin Chenoweth as Rosa Bud, Hugh Jackman as John Jasper, and George Hearn as the Chairman, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was just listening to Seth Rudetsky on Sirius and he said he put in a call to have a certain person (who is now the proper age) come back to play Dolly Levi in Hello Dolly.... Guess who?!

One can only dream!!!

thes, that was sort of what i was thinking for you! but i pretty much think godspell would probably be the better idea..
