Angela Lansbury

I have ALWAYS thought that Lansbury would be perfect for that role!

She would do very well in that role but she is perfect for so many larger parts!! I don't know if she's physically up to being the lead she once was so maybe this would be her chance to be back up onstage in a great big Broadway musical.

I would love to see Angela Lansbury in Pippin!

I agree with Lansbury, but it seems like such a small part for someone like her,especially with her talent. Same with Bernadette she would be hysterical but under used) I agree Eartha Kitt would be fun. What about Kirstie Alley?

Be the change you want in the world....

I'm jumping on the Lansbury bandwagon.

Eartha Kitt is simply atrocious nowadays.

If Carol Kane acted and spoke and Carole Shelley sang I would be happy. Carol Kane's "...wicked witch!" in the beginning of Defying Gravity makes her awesome.

Personally, I think that Bette Midler would be amazing . . .

But, she would never do it.

Well I am definately jumping on the lansbury bandwago. i think eartha kitt could do it, she was faboulus as the wicked witch on the wizard of oz tour, and she can sing. julie andrews would be allright, but i just don't think i could see her playing the part.

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
