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

It's hard when the original cast is so good to try to think of replacements...

Sherie 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!

I 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.
"Because what is more like love than the ocean? You can play in it, drown in it. It can be clear and bright enough to hurt your eyes, or covered in fog; hidden behind a curve of road, and then suddenly there in full glory. Its waves come like breaths, in and out, in and out, body stretched to forever in its possibilities, and yet its heart lies deep, not fully knowable, inconceivably majestic."

I 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.

Hmmm--how about bringing back Sutton and Gavin as a pair?

No 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.

Lauren was AWSOME as Cathy--I actually prefer her Cathy to Scott's.

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)

What? We said dreaming, right?

I saw the George St. production also - it was great! Loved the set -- what did the set of the original production look like?

Though 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?
