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

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

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.

Jennifer Coolidge would be amazing.

I wish they'd given Jackie Hoffman a shot.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
