What's the worst possible casting for a revival that you can think of? Celebrity or Broadway Star, whatever.

Faith Prince in THE LITTLE MERMAID.
Just as was the case with her starring in the ill-fated Broadway revival of BELLS ARE RINGING -- idea worked better in our heads than on stage.

At least Nick Jonas has done Broadway. Joe would be a far scarier prospect. O_O

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.

Mario was a very bad choice. ACL requires an actor, not dimples.

Posted: 7/7/09 at 11:21pmI agree with Rosie, especially with Fiddler on the Roof. From what I heard that was an awful choice.

She wasn't as bad as Harvey was as Tevye.
