I don't think Norm Lewis has enough charisma onstage to be Audrey II. He definitely has it offstage... but then again, I've never seen him in a comedy.
My dreams:
Lea Salonga as Baker's Wife in Into the Woods
Aaron Lazar as Cinderella's Prince in Into the Woods
Idina Menzel as Eponine in Les Mis (just to see what happens)
Lea Michele as Eponine (to hear her belt, she doesn't really show it off in SA)
Sutton Foster as Audrey opposite Hunter as Seymour (it would be so hilarious)
I second Adam Pascal as Joseph in Dreamcoat. I would only go to see Joseph if he was playing Joseph, actually...
"Sutton Foster as Audrey opposite Hunter as Seymour (it would be so hilarious)"
WHAT?! Yes, it would be HYSTERICAL to watch a brother and sister fall in love. An incestual romp for the whole family! (No pun intended.. ) Oy..
