"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell plus i proudly share the title of the shortest member over the age of 10 with wickedrentq!

Krakowski screwed up her chances of doing CHARITY.... her own fault, you just don't back talk to Neil Simon, you just don't. Yes, she would have been great.


Not a Jasmine Guy fan. Love Pawk, but I don't think she's quite the Helene dancer, she's playing Matrons now (again, I do LOVE her...). Jackman has the right air, but he isn't convincingly swarthy and Italian.

Thanks, Aigoo.

Doogie, I thought about it yesterday, and you're right about Pawk. She's not right for the part. I dunno about Jackman; I still think he'd be great in that part. He's an underrated comedic talent, and I believe he could make it work. Here are my updated "Charity" choices.

Oscar Lindquist - MALCOLM GETS
Nickie - JASMINE GUY
Helene - EMILY SKINNER
Vittorio Vidal - HUGH JACKMAN

Broadway86-
I LOVE Emily Skinner... I think she is fantastic... but NOT NOT NOT here. She could never dance it.... ever. she is a bit too voluptuous. and a bit too warm... she (and Pawk) are also not black. EVERY single person in every high caliber production of Charity playing Helene has been African American.... in the original both revivals, and the covers for that role in both revivals, always black. Aside from that point, Skinner is not right for Nickie either. She cannot dance it, too voluptuous and too warm for both Nickie and Helene.

Love that CLASS ACT cast though

To put these people into one musical:

Lead roles:
Lea Salonga
Matthew Morrison
Hugh Jackman
Adam Pascal
Idina Menzel
-------------
Megan McGinnis
Sutton Foster
Kristen Chenoweth

And I would also want a part of the show:
Michael Ball
Julie Andrews [even now, just to talk or whatever.. she is the dame]
Lisa Brescia
Eric LaJuan Summers
BSM
Anthony Rapp
Ben Wright
Kelli O'Hara
Taye Diggs
Nobert Lee Burtz

Who knows what kind of musical it would be... but all of my favorites under one roof/musical... what a dream

Kristin Chenoweth as Roxie, LOL. Somehow...I can't really see that.
I could see Susan Egan as Velma, though. I could see Susan as Roxie too.

Put Hugh Jackman, Idina Menzel, Lea Salonga, Adam Pascal, Matthew Morrison, Josh Groban, Sutton Foster into one musical and I would almost be in heaven.

And I wouldn't mind seeing the LOTR cast of Hobbits and Elves with them... aww I would die!

"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

Thanks, Dreams. I love that play as well. Whenever I'm bored on weekends, I'll take a play or musical and just cast it. The bad part is that I don't move on to the next character unless I'm ABSOLUTELY positive I've found the right actor.

I've done a lot of these lists on this thread, and I always kick myself because none of these people will ever play these roles.

PS - Add the following to my previous "Seussical" cast:

The Mayor of Whoville - EUGENE LEVY
Mrs. Mayor - DEBRA JO RUPP
