At this point we're just naming any Broadway actress over the age of 60.

Yeah, the thing with this role is you need to be more than just “over 60”.
As for Liza - she can barely stand with Michael Feinstein’s help, so that ain’t gonna happen.

Yes, because its a relatively short list which makes casting this role quite difficult.

This is why these open-ended question posts are so irritating and pointless.

Donna McKechnie. She has this young girlish charm that would be perfect.

I’m sad we don’t have FORBIDDEN BROADWAY right now to make Carol Channing Kimberly.

Carolee and Donna would be fabulous. Betty Buckley could be interesting too, I'm sure she'd sound fabulous. Faith Prince and Nancy Opel, too. I'd live for Patti singing this score full-belt, no matter how wrong it would be! I don't think she's been on stage recently, but this would be a great return for Joanna Gleason.
I also can't wait for Carmen Cusack, Ruthie Ann Miles, Kelli, LaChanze, and Audra to play this one day.

So, in summary…..this thread is just three pages of people naming every older actress they can think of. Fantastic.

She was on when I saw It the other night. She was fantastic! Going to return to see Victoria, but if you see the show with Colleen it is in excellent hands.

I posted it, hoping to get people thinking about who else could bring the special qualities that Clark brings to it, but yeah.

I know I’m in a (significant) minority, but my only issue with this show was, in fact, Clark. So I’d love to see someone else.
My pick would be Julia Murney.
Alternatively, Beth Malone

I think Ebersole is inspired. She can nail the comedy and the pathos. She can also sing the score as written.
Also I feel you need a diminutive woman who communicates both the frail elderly woman and the child. It’s not an easy feat. Clark does it so beautifully.
I don’t think you can have some long breasted, big ass old lady up there and have the character work.

Julia Murney and Beth Malone are too young for this role (technically so is Victoria). Christine is a good suggestion and so is Joanna Gleason but they both read younger than their actual ages.
