The original set revolved (the chicago one didn't) and had various set pieces. The revolving was really cool because when they we're doing "The Next Ten Minutes," they were in a little boat and it looked like they were rowing around.
And it is dream roles. I'm saying if they both HAD to be replaced.
And I think Kerry Butlet would play a great Cathy.

Posted: 5/30/05 at 12:16amI was thinking about Kerry Butler and I'm unsure about it. She's used to playing very cutesy characters or very vulnerable characters. Cathy is a difficult character because she is strong and hopeful with a very subtle vulnerability.

Posted: 5/30/05 at 12:28amI'd love to see Lauren Kennedy and I think Billy Porter would make for an interesting Jamie. Kerry Butler and Eden Espinosa would be fun to see too.

Billy Porter????
I'm totally up for colorblind casting but I just can't see him doing "Shiksa Goddess". Anyway, the tessitura of Jamie's music lies a little low for Billy.

Posted: 5/30/05 at 12:37amAntonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith could add the title of Tony Winners to their names if they did this one together on Broadway. Hmmmmm, if only there was more money in the world.....

those people are all too old!
Michael Arden and Celia Keenan Bolger
are the proper ages and got talent like CRAZY
#33whatever the title was..oops!
Posted: 5/30/05 at 5:18pmAnthony Rapp & Sutton Foster
And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps...
What did she realize, Kitten?
That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs.
What's wrong with that?
Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had...
Where?
On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

As Jamie...Steven Pasquale, Jeremy Kushnier, Matthew Morrison, and of course, Norbert Leo Butz.
As Cathy...I honestly can only imagine Sherie Rene Scott in this role.
A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.

Posted: 5/30/05 at 5:49pmI love the idea of Celia Keenan-Bolger as Cathy. Not so sure about some of the names for Jamie. I can't see Anthony Rapp for some reason.

I would love to see some nontraditional/colorblind casting.
Basically, I'd want to see Lea Salonga as Cathy.
Ha.

Posted: 5/30/05 at 5:56pmI would kill to see a younger Liz Callaway play Cathy. Can we clone her?
#40whatever the title was..oops!
Posted: 5/30/05 at 6:01pmOkay, I am by no means a "Gung-ho" Wicked and Idina Superfan or anything(although I do like the two). But, I would love to hear her sing the role......

Posted: 5/30/05 at 6:04pmI, personally, don't think she'd have the acting chops or the vocal versatility for it but to each his/her own.
#42whatever the title was..oops!
Posted: 5/30/05 at 6:21pm
Is there acting in The Last 5 Years?????? Honestly, all I have is my CD, so I'm not sure what else there is to it......
Sarah Ramirez might do something cool with it. BTW, I'm now a fan of hers!!!!!!
Nobody has thrown out the name Eden?????? I know she is quite the belter......
#43whatever the title was..oops!
Posted: 5/30/05 at 6:23pm
Of course there's acting. Have you not heard the CD? There's so much acting involved in each of those songs.

Lea Salonga would really be good.
I really can't see Idina in the role at all. As for Michelle F, I really don't know.
#46whatever the title was..oops!

Sara Ramirez would be amazing. She does really well with JRB's material. Have you heard her sing "I Will Follow?" Shoo-dang! Girl has some kickin' pipes. She can really sell a song too. She's great.
I'm also loving the idea of Celia Keenan-Bolger or Michelle Federer.

Kevin Earley and Kim Huber 
Kim was in the production of "Last 5 Years" at Laguna Playhouse and I heard she was pretty good in the role.
