anyone agrees with me?
Sweeney Todd
Mrs. Lovett- Donna Murphy
Todd- I'd like to see Victor Garber try this.
Johanna- Audra McDonald (Yes she's too old, I don't care, many who play her aren't Spring chickens either)
Anthony- Well if we're talking on Stage- Ewan MacGregor. TOo old, I know, but he looks younger than his age, and it doesn't matter as much.
Beggar Woman- Meryl Streep (Ok, too old as well, like I said I don't care)
Beatle- the young man who will be playing it in the revival. I thought he was nifty at the Wall to Wall.
Judge- John Lithgow
Tobias- A talented newcomer
Passion- The concert version that happened in March except with Donna Murphy as Fosca.
Actually, Donna Murphy as Mama Rose in Gypsy. I think that would be amazing.
Incase you haven't noticed I'm a new huge Donna Murphy fan.
