-Felicia Finley-
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.

And The Lead Player and Theo I haven't quite been able to place. I'd love to hear what other people have come up with for a Pippin cast.
I like some of the choices, but I kinda screamed and clutched my stomach cue to a sudden ulcer attack when I saw that Jessica Simpson casted as Carla in "Nine"
I can actually see that happening actually...>.<

"No two shows are alike in the making. Each show is a living
piece of your life in a small unreal world with its own character
and integrity; its own new set of memorable experiences and
incredible happenings. You begin to love and adapt to its strangeness.
Dreams harden into substance. Values come into focus. You wish
it would never end. The dream world vanishes like mist before a
rising sun; part of you vanishes with it. And back you land in the
real world with a thud- fogged, uneasy, jittery, difficult to get
along with. There is only one cure. A new show. A new, small
unreal world; new visions, experiences, incredible happenings.
Again you love it, adapt to it, wish it would never end.
But end it does. Another part of you vanishes.
That's show business."-Anonymous
