I know I might get a few sneers for bumping this up and this next comment but does anyone thing Sutton would return to Inga or Robert to Doc in the tour.

No & No. Roger said that he will never do a Mel Brooks' production again.

Why in the world would Sutton Foster come back to a show where she didn't get a Tony nomination, gave a lack-luster performance (and I love her!) when she's in a semi-successful show, written to showcase her talents, and for which she got a Tony nom? Much less, why would Tony Award winner Sutton Foster go on tour?

I doubt any of the OBC, or their replacements would tour with the show. It's an awful show. And Young Frankenstein is my favorite movie.

Ideally and realistically:
Fredrich Frankenstein: Jon Patrick Walker
Inga: Jennifer Laura Thompson
Elizabeth: Jennifer Cody
The Monster: Justin Patterson
Igor: Cory English
Frau Blucher: Sally Wilfert
Inspector Kemp/The Hermit: Fred Applegate

Jennifer Laura Thompson won't do it, she has young children.

Jennifer Cody as Elizabeth? Really?

I think that Jen just loves doing Gypsy work.

The tour will most likely be a cast of non-equity unknowns. It makes the most financial sense for Mel.

jonartdesigns, it will be an Equity tour.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.

I think Jen Cody would be a fantastic Elizabeth.
Oh, and I almost forgot to mention...I'm the good cop, he's the bad cop.

it'd be great if jlt did the tour, but with her son and another one possibly on the way i don't think she would..i don't know, i'm still hoping roger might do it..

I think it will be along the lines of the Legally Blonde tour cast wise. A few people from the Broadway cast that were understudies but then for the most part unknowns with not much experience. It will have a bunch of fresh new people which can be good!

if the tour is supposed to start in early fall, does anyone know when they might announce a cast?

if anyone's wondering, there is an audition next week I think for all the leads (posted in Backstage)...so they're still looking.

The show is dreadull - it should die and disappear. The movie will live on.

I would love to see Erin Mackey play Inga, but she is most likely going to play Glinda on Broadway.

Anne Horak is playing Inga.

I believe she was in White Christmas and on the web series "The Battery's Down".

Ah. That's why I've never heard of her.
Will the back hubcap from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang be playing Igor?

Yes, according to IBDB, she played someone named "Rita" in White Christmas. That is her only Broadway credit.

How does Jennifer Laura Thompson survive? Does her husband support the family? She's so talented, but I haven't heard her doing anything in awhile.

Thompson decided, after completing her run in WICKED, to take an extended break from performing to raise her young son Tommy.
While she's done little limited things here and there in the years since (and has turned down several bigger opportunities in the process,) she's stood firm in that decision.
Her son's five now, so hopefully the day she's ready to return to theater full-time is soon. She's certainly sorely missed.
