Adam Pascal is WAAAAY too old to be Pippin.

Adam as Pippin? What? He is not too old, but his singing style for Pippin? Emcee - what do you think?

i don't like your cast at all. her name is catherine. and you forgot lewis.

I Love your choices for the Grandmother,but I've always thought that Cloris Leachman would be great for the role(she can do another Irene Ryan Role!!!!!!). I think it fits her philosophy for life!!!!!!

Lewis is not that big of a role so I didn't add him...plus he could be played by anyone.

Your supposed to do you OWN casting.

Pippin-Barrett Foa, Gavin Creel, or Michael Arden
Leading Player-Billy Porter or Wayne Brady
Fastrada-Julia Murney or maybe Sarah Ramirez
Catherine-Sutton Foster, Lauren Kennedy, or Laura Benanti
Berthe-Carol Channing or Elaine Stritch
Charlemagne-Perhaps Tim Curry? Am I just typecasting him?

Omg, I said the same thing about Michael Arden winning a Tony for Pippin a few days ago! I even made a bet...
COME ON, SOMEONE! PUT MICHAEL ARDEN ON BROADWAY! HE'S F-ING BRILLIANT!

Pippin - Michael Arden (and yes, he will win a Tony for this performance)
Leading Player - Ben Vereen or Billy Porter
Berthe - Elaine Stritch
Catherine - Sara Ramirez, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonia or Idina Menzel
Fastrada - (Dare I say) Brooke Shields
Charlemagne - Brian Stokes Mitchell
Lewis - Abe Sylvia (the is my underdog pick, but his Lewis was hilarious in Los Angeles)

Sound off!!!

For Pippin, there is this multi-talented man named Jeremy Gable..and that's all I can think of the moment.

Pippin: Adam Pascal

I'm a huge fan of Adam Pascal. But as Pippin?!?!

Michael Arden, on the other hand...

Yes, Michael Arden for PIPPIN!

darcy...when did my dream become subject to your reality? Stop hurting my feelings.

Where is your DREAM cast? And why are you such a hater?

[ShbrtAlley44]

Posted: 5/3/05 at 12:33am

Pippin - Michael Arden
Leading Player - Billy Porter, Kate Shindle (if they want to go that route), or Darius de Haas
Catherine - Me No, Laura Benanti, Sutton Foster (yeah, I know, but she'd be good)
Fastrada - Julia Murney, Roxane Carrasco...could Michelle DeJean do it?
Charlemagne - Terrence Mann, Stokes
Berthe - I like Cloris Leachman or Stritch
Lewis - Some hot guy who's pretty to look at.

Posted: 5/3/05 at 12:34am

i'm not a hater. but do you honestly believe that idina is well suited to play catherine?

[ShbrtAlley44]

(to the tune of the "And nobody in all of Oz" section of Defying Gravity, taking some liberties with rhythms...)

Adam looks young, so I don't think age is the biggest issue, really. I mean, he hardly looks so young as Michael Arden, but... I just don't see it. He's just.... no. Not the role for him. I'd maybe like to hear him sing some of the songs for kicks, but not actually playing the part. I love him dearly, but... no Pippin. Sorry, that was REALLY inarticulate. I just can't put my finger on WHY it's not his part, it just isn't.

Raúl, however, gave a KICK ASS "Simple Joys" last summer. Let's make him he leading player!!

... and obviously, Julia Murney is a goddess and we need her.
