I think she'd bring a fascinating eroticism to the part. And she looks good in leopard print.

Posted: 4/20/07 at 6:49pmI don't know MB. I think she's more of a Rafiki.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Posted: 4/20/07 at 6:56pmThis thread made my day...and made me spill my coke after laughing so hard too.

Posted: 4/20/07 at 7:03pmI think she would be amazing I watch that show everyday and I think she would belt the sh*t out of Shadowland. I would even pay to see that.

Posted: 4/20/07 at 7:08pmI see that pic and I think Cruella DeVil in the live version of 101 Dalmations - If Glenn Close won't do it.

I kinda think she looks like she's melting in that shot.
Maybe she could be Nalelphaba.

So I didn't realize you were joking. And I screamed "WHAT?" and woke my baby brother up. Yikes.
Holy jesus. I would go see that show, no lie.
I mean, Denzel Washington? Gun to my head..of course.

Posted: 4/20/07 at 10:24pmI heard she was interested, but is tied up being Laura Bell Bundy's stand by for the rest of this year.

Whenever people say that they spilt their drink from laughing so hard, it makes me kind of cringe.
I mean. It means either one of two things:
1.) You need to get out more
or
2.) You're being COMPLETELY dramatic, and lying.
I can't see something EVER being so funny (particularly something that's read online) as to make one SPIT their drink out.

Posted: 4/20/07 at 11:53pmMaybe this was funny enough for them. I once spit out my milk at lunch in the 6th grade because this kid ran up to me and said "monkey". Then again, I was like...11 years old but still. Things happen :-P

Posted: 4/21/07 at 10:28amIf she weren't so crazy. Or is it "eccentric?"

can Betty even hit Nala's range? i mean to play Nala you have to SING!
is Betty even credible on Broadway?
#20re: Would Betty Buckley make a good Nala in THE LION KING?
Posted: 4/21/07 at 11:13amI know - crazy stunt casting! Just because she sang on Eight is Enough once does NOT mean she can handle eight shows a week, people. Get real.
