I love Ute. But she has said she's really not interested in doing a run in a musical right now. She enjoys the freedom of performing in cabaret/concert settings.

But honestly, this has Bebe's name written ALL over it. I think she would do it in a heartbeat also.

"Fester - Kevin Chamberlin"

OMG brilliant! I love him.

If she'd be willing to shave her heard again, I say Britney for Uncle Fester...

And James Barbour for Lurch. He wouldn't even have to wear lifts.

i have a little too much time on my hands...so i cast the addams family in my head...

gomez - raul esparza
morticia - jan maxwell
uncle fester - michael cerveris
wednesday - delaney moro
pugsley - matthew gumley
grandmama - bernadette peters

i know it's ridiculous but hey, it helped pass the time

My choices:

- Julia Murney
- Bebe Neuwirth - she would be an AMAZING Morticia but I don't see it with her singing
- Sara Ramirez
- Donna Murphy
- Eden Espinosa - she might be too belty for the role

I dont think Ramirez will be back to Broadway after tasting the life of a high paid series regular.

I'm not so sure. She said in an interview (forget where, maybe Ellen?) that she'd be interested in going back to Broadway. Maybe this role will be the vehicle that brings her back!

They will probably try to get a name but I agree that Julia Murney would be fabulous.

Bebe Neuwirth is ideal for Morticia. Cast her opposite Raul Esparza as Gomez and I'd come see this with bells on.

No no no Raul Esparza as Gomez... it's just not exactly right.

John Herrera as Gomez.

Julia Murney as Morticia.

The makeup and wigs for a show like that are going to severely alter a person's appearance anyway. I think those two just have the spirit needed for those roles.

John Herrera as Gomez.

Julia Murney as Morticia.

I'd see that.

Sarah Jessica Parker would be such a fabulous Morticia.

I think Sarah Jessica Parker is a fantastic actress, but Morticia she ain't.

Maybe Sara Gettelfinger??? :)

Michelle Pawk
Bebe Neuwerth
Caitlin Hopkins

I'd be more than happy with either of those ladies.

"I adore Murney's talent and voice
but Morticia has to be a Beauty
dark eyes
and great lips
look at the drawings
Idina fits it better
I think"

With make-up, Julia Murney can be the perfect Morticia in terms of looks. She sorta has that "Old Hollywood" glamour about her(if that makes sense), which I think is something they are going to look for in casting Morticia. The right make-up artists can really do a lot with her look and transform her into Morticia. I also think her voice is right for the role.

Having a professional business relationship with Andrew Lippa is also a plus; I wouldn't be surprised if Murney is cast. It seems like the most logical choice. We need to see her originate more roles!

I think everyone just wants Murney because she's worked with Lippa before, and her voice suits his pop styled scores fine.

I think with all the make-up, she still wouldn't come to looking as close to Morticia as Bebe does regularly.

Before I even opened the thread I thought Donna Murphy.

I see I am not alone.

Audra McDonald
Jennifer Hudson
Tonya Pinkins

Anyone who'se heard Idina's evil laugh in "No More" from See What I Wanna See would agree that she'd make a very creepy Morticia

[ray-andallthatjazz86]

Posted: 5/25/07 at 3:52pm

Ummm, I've heard the laugh and I still think she is hardly the most appropriate choice for the role and I love "No More."
The thing about Bebe Neuwirth is not only the fact that she naturally could look like Morticia, but her poise, her look, her persona, and her voice all seem perfectly suited for the role.
I like Julia Murney but I would hope Neuwirth or Jan Maxwell are considered before her.

Donna Murphy. Always and forever~

I know it would never happen, bur I would love to see Nicole Kidnaman play the role.

What a random bump.
