Jackie wanted the role from the beginning and they refused to even let her audition. They weren't interested.

I saw Kathie Lee in the production at MSG and she was surprisingly great.

Sandra Bullock so she can prepare before she does the movie version.

Beth Leavel. She's played the role in regional productions and got excellent reviews.

Their loss, it could have been her best performance to date and she might have been Tony worthy. What a missed opportunity for both the production and the audience.

Andrea McArdle did it regionally.... if nothing else they can PR the hell out of it for a while

Hoffman would have been way better than Lynch

Jennifer Coolidge

^ Fabulous. I'd go.

Jennifer Coolidge would be amazing.

I wish they'd given Jackie Hoffman a shot.

I hear Mike Tyson is in talks.

Yeah, it will close. When Raven's contract ended, Sister Act ended. When the contacts for the leads of EVITA expired, so did Evita. So, I think this will close. And I don't think anyone can do better after Lynch.

"And I don't think anyone can do better after Lynch"

Really? I love Jane but.. Wanda Sykes? Jennifer Coolidge? Joan Rivers? Allison Janney? Whoopi? Tina Fey?

I never would have thought of Tina Fey- if she could sing even passably (she insists that she can't, and has never given any evidence to doubt that), she would be great.

Jane Krakowski though would be FANTASTIC.

Posted: 6/14/13 at 5:55pm

I hear Wanda Sykes

[Wishing Only Wounds]

Posted: 6/14/13 at 6:48pm

I'm sorry, they wanted Joan Rivers (whom I adore), but wouldn't let Jackie Hoffman audition?

Granted, I am just inclined to believe that Joan was indeed offered the role...I am rather gullible.

^ Joan said on theatre talk that she was offered but her schedule couldn't allow it.

Caroline O'Connor!!!!

[ClapYo'Hands]

"Megan Mullally, please."

Yes! Caroline O'Connor another great suggestion!

[ClydeBarrow]

Posted: 6/14/13 at 8:11pm

Allison Janney? I love her to death but please don't ever make me have to listen to her sing again.

I'm going to go with Closing Notice as a replacement.

[ClapYo'Hands]

Posted: 6/14/13 at 8:13pm

Annette Bening would be great if it wasn't this production and at this point in time.

[Visceral_Fella]

Posted: 6/14/13 at 9:41pm

Jennifer Coolidge would be amazing! I'd also like to see Kathy Lee, Beth Leavel or Jackie Hoffman.

I know she's not a name, but Sherie Renee Scott might be interesting. Updated On: 6/14/13 at 09:41 PM
