I dream of her playing Margaret in The Light in the Piazza. Just a little fantasy of mine. What other roles do you want her to play? What could possibly be next for her once Broadway is open and back to normal?

Enough with revivals; she should do a new play.

I'd love to see her play Helen in an all Black production of Fun Home with Cynthia Erivo as Alison that's never going to happen - I'd be happy with her singing "Days and Days" in concert, though.

Sally in Follies

I'd love to see her in a new play too! But given that this is a dreamcasting thread, we can't very well dreamcast her in something that doesn't exist.
Sally in "Follies," and Helen in "Fun Home" are my 2 favorite ideas mentioned in this thread so far!
I'd also love to see her do some more Shakespeare: maybe Cleopatra, Lady Macbeth, Queen Margaret in "Henry VI," Beatrice in "Much Ado."
As for other classic roles: Mary Tyrone, Linda Loman, Amanda Wingfield - any and all of those great roles. We almost had her as Blanche Dubois! So disappointing! Hope it still ends up happening after COVID.

I really was rooting for her to play Marian in the Sound of Music - but the Sutton Foster announcement killed that dream...
Too bad - while I like Sutton - I think Audra and Hugh Jackman would have made a fantastic pair. Still haven't heard any evidence of Sutton's actual soprano voice - but I'm withholding judgement until I see them in November 2021. But Audra would have killed that role.

Missy in "Purlie". I think she would sing the hell out of "Down Home" and "He Ca Do It".

Any role honestly. As long as I can hear her gorgeous voice, it doesn't really matter to me.

For plays... I'd love to see her do August Osage County. Doesn't even matter which part, I think she'd kill both female leads when she's age appropriate for them.

She has always said she wants to play Sweeney Todd. I agree.

They suggested varies replacements but Jerry Herman had approval and he wouldn’t agree to any of the names.

Not that I think Audra would have been a 3rd replacement but are you saying that Jerry Herman would have vetoed Audra?
