Who would you love to see as Jamie and Cathy in The Last Five Years if it were suddenly revived?

Posted: 5/29/05 at 3:30pmIt's hard when the original cast is so good to try to think of replacements...

Posted: 5/29/05 at 3:34pmSherie and Adam Pascal. Maybe Adam's voice isn't right, but it would sure look nice.

Kathy Voytko and John Cudia. They would have the voice and chemisty to drive the show. They're both so talented!

Posted: 5/29/05 at 3:45pmI just saw the George Street Playhouse production of this with Sarah Litzsinger and Colin Hanlon and I have to say he was phenomenal...I also loved Sarah. They were both wonderful. It was a beautiful production. But I am still partial to Sherie and The Butz. But these two gave them a run for their money.

Posted: 5/29/05 at 4:39pmI disagree actually, Norbert and Sherie are now too old for it - they've matured too much physically. Butz certainly looks a lot older, as does Sherie a little. I think it needs to be played by actors whose careers are just kicking off in their mid-twenties.

Posted: 5/29/05 at 4:47pmNo one will ever replace Scott and Butz, but I would like to see Lauren Kennedy (who originated the role out of town) and Neil Patrick Harris give it a try.

i agree with the "no one can replace nobert and sherie" sentiment.
they were so perfect. i can't think of anyone who could hit those notes with the ease that sherie does or could put as much fun into the character as norbert.
sure, they've matured a little, but that wouldn't stop me from seeing the show if they ran it with the same cast again.

"i agree with the "no one can replace nobert and sherie" sentiment."
Although I did post two very worthy (IMO) stand-ins, I believe that if it isn't broke, why fix it?

Cool to hear. She did a few tracks from it on her solo album, and sounded amazing.

My loyalities tend towards Sherie and Norbert, but if we're talking dream pairs: (and by the title, I sense that we are)
Anthony Rapp and Beth Damiano (That's me, I'm Beth)
What? We said dreaming, right?
2. Great buckets of Spoffnor, they're going to sing!
3. "I love shrubs that are historical." -Johnny and The Sprites
4. "We're not singing it to you, we're singing it for us." -Rosario Dawson, about La Vie Boheme
5. "The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours." -The History Boys
6. "Pass the parcel. That's sometimes all you can do. Take it, feel it and pass it on. Not for me, not for you, but for someone, somewhere, one day. Pass it on, boys. That's the game I want you to learn. Pass it on." -The History Boys

There. I said it.

Posted: 5/29/05 at 11:34pmI saw the George St. production also - it was great! Loved the set -- what did the set of the original production look like?

Posted: 5/29/05 at 11:38pmThough with the extra weight, Norbert does look a little older now than he did in LFY, I don't think Sherie looks any older. The two of them were wonderful individually and as a team in this show and they made a strong piece even stronger with their work. I think it would be pretty hard to top them in these roles.

Well I'm very fond of the originals and Lauren Kennedy who I also count as an original but other than that...
Cathy- Lisa Brescia, Kate Shindle, Rachel York, a younger Jane Krakowski, Sutton Foster, a younger Marin Mazzie, and maybe with some more vocal training, Nicole Kidman? (a little crazy but imagine what she could bring to the role acting-wise)
Jamie- Raul Esparza, Brian D'Arcy James, Malcolm Gets, Harry Connick Jr?
