I don't somehow think Janet Winnebago (as I like to call her) would be able to dance the show, and there is absolutely no way that talent free ho Britney Spears could sing it.

I would love to see the cast of the movie in the Broadway show. I know Renee Zellwigger(sp?) and Richard Gere have said that they wouldnt like to do 8 shows a week, but I think Catherine Zeta-Jones would be up to it. I would love to see Queen Latifah do the part live. I thought that she was surprisingly good in the movie.

I love the idea of Liza as Mama...good one.

And Harvey wouldn't be able to sing Mary Sunshine either, for that matter.

Pfft. I could do without Richard Gere, thanks, and while I liked her acting, I have the feeling that Renee Zellwegger's voice wouldn't be up to 8 shows a week. Catherine Zeta-Jones and Queen Latifah, on the other hand, seriously impressed me in the movie.

As for who I'd like to see...eh, I stink at casting games. :)

I definetly agree about Richard and Renee. They surprised me that they could handle the parts in the movie, but they would not be able to handle 8 shows a week.

Millie, when you say "anyone but Britney Spears!", does that mean you're okay with Emma Bunting? Can't imagine she'd be any better, but maybe that's just me.

You know who LOOKS the part of Roxie? Winona Ryder. I have less than no idea if she could sing or dance the part, but she looks just right.

Now that I think of it, was she a Spice Girl? Okay, not her either! But first and foremost, anyone but Britney. Sad, because I used to be a big fan of hers.

Roxie - Cheno
Velma - Eden
Billy - Raul Esparza
Mama - Barbra Streisand

I have heard that Cheno is a dancer. Can Eden dance?

Sarah Jessica Parker as Roxie. That is all.

Oh and a big NO to Cheno as Roxie. Love her, but no. She does not fit the role in the least bit. Updated On: 7/12/04 at 06:07 PM

Or if she could sing and dance - or even if not - Paris Hilton?

Velma - Susan Egan

Billy - Marc Kudisch, Don Johnson (cheese factor)

"Velma: Michele Pawk

Hey! You cheated! That's from your site! (just kidding; I can't believe I remembered that)

Liza for Mama!
She would have made a great Velma too back in the day. Maybe still .
Liza's been all over the boards tonight.

I'm not quite sure who I'd cast, but Britney Spears, Emma Bunton MJR and Beyonce as Roxie? Please. Ricky Martin as Billy? Kill me.

I loved the idea of Linda Hart as Mama, I think she would be a good Velma too!!
Not sure about Cheno either..
The Mama Morton in Mexico was amazing I'd like to see her again, her name is Laura Cortes

Hahaha yes, that was from my FAQ. My answers haven't changed though

[millie_dillmount]

Posted: 7/13/04 at 12:54pm

I would see Linda Hart more as a Mama Morton more than a Velma, unless she was a bit younger. I tried to remember her voice during Miss Baltimore Crabs and The Big Dollhouse, and hey, she wouldn't do terribly.

Paris Hilton? Really? I simply can't stand her. Every time I see her I am overcome with a desire to kick her until she's dead.
