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

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

Who'd want to see Paris Hilton in The Apple Tree?

I agree with Rosie, especially with Fiddler on the Roof. From what I heard that was an awful choice.

"I 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.
