IF Sunset Blvd Returns to Broadway I think I would cast Vanessa Williams. She can sing & act. Who is your choice?

totally not the same kind of thread there small cheese.
My vote would be for Beth Leavel
though my plan "B" would be Ebersole
and my "no name" dream casting would be Dorothy Stanley
PS..Typing all three names made me realize, they were ALL connected for 42nd Street. Ebersole first, Leavel (first replacement), and Stanley (stand by)

"You already started this thread"
Kinda looks like you're saying the same thing...
Some people make stupid threads and some people make "snarky" posts. Stop playing hall monitor.

Posted: 8/10/08 at 3:49pmI said this in the other thread, but I'll say it again because it should really happen: Alice Ripley.
#11re: Who hasn't played Norma Desmond but should play Norma Desmond
Posted: 8/10/08 at 4:08pmI'll vote for Ebersole...but I LOVE it when people get to "advance" up in roles, so I would be all about Alice Ripley!

Seriously, I'd like to see Bernadette do it.

Posted: 9/28/08 at 12:42amI think Norma should be played by BeBe Neuwirth. She is great and nobody would ever think of her as a perfect choice

Posted: 9/28/08 at 12:46amBernadette Peters. Think of it: Mabel Normand as Gloria Swanson. Boggles the mind.
