What would be a good starring role (revival) for Nancy Opel?

Saw TA on Saturday and almost died laughing at Nancy Opel's performance. What a voice and comic ability. I saw her in Urinetown and loved her as well.

This lady needs a starring role in a revival! Suggestions?

(of course, she would be a great Miss Hannigan, but I can't stomach a revival of Annie at the moment.)

She was great as the Drowsy Chaperone on tour....

Opel would be a terrific Cora in ANYONE CAN WHISTLE, though that role has many similarities to the character she's playing in THE TOXIC AVENGER at the moment.

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 Drowsy and wished I had seen the tour. Saw the OBC with Beth but I'm sure Nancy was a hoot as well.

Nancy was already Patti's alternate.

did anyone see her as Eva? I heard a snippet of a recording and thought her voice wasn't quite right. but she was fairly young and could certainly have been having an off night.

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain. -Kad

I think she would make a great Lovett...

givesmevoice, if I look hard enough, I have a clip of her singing "Rainbow High" about a year at a cabaret in Pittsburgh. It was fantastic. She just pulled it out on the spot.

I say yes to Lovett!!!

Some people paint, some people sew, I meddle.

People, people, people! Vera in MAME! HELLOOOO!!

And personally, I'd love to see her as the Witch in INTO THE WOODS. Lots of moments for her to show her comedic traits, but also allows her to shine in her dramatics which she does equally as well.

And I haven't seen the show, but she might do service to Norma Desmond in SUNET BLVD...?

"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
