No one could come close to being better than Angela Lansbury, but I am curious who could lead a revival of this musical theatre classic!

No one.  The piece is too dated to be performed in its present form.  "the South will rise again!"  yikes, that's not even funny anymore.  Now, let's kill this thread.

Beanie Feldstein. Can you imagine what her rendition of "If He Walked Into My Life" would be like?

Unrelated to who should next play Mame ––

In Marilyn Maye's version of IT'S TODAY, there's a new-to-me bridge in the middle of the song ("i know every day is a winner, to me every day is a gift" etc). Did Jerry Herman write that for a radio version of the song? Or is that interpolated from another song?
