Hmmmmmmm, I agree mostly with gymnast...
Mimi - Krystal L. Washington
Roger - Cary Shields or Declann Bennett (yeah, I'm one of the few who liked him) or Tony Hoylen (just kidding)
Angel - Wilson Jermaine Heredia
Collins - ummmmm Jesse L Martin most likely
Maureen - Idina Menzel
Joanne - Kenna Ramsey or Tracie Thoms (it would be awesome to see Tracie in the production)
Mark - Christopher Hanke
Benny - Taye Diggs or Stu James

Posted: 4/1/07 at 3:38pmI think that Taye Diggs would have been good as Curtis in "Dreamgirls", but Jamie Foxx was good there as well.

I don't know, I liked kyle post, I thought his roger was sweet... I do also really like Tim Howar. And though I saw him a long time ago, I remember really loving norbert leo butz.
maybe I'll switch my roger to tim howar...since I've been peer pressured into it...haha

Posted: 4/1/07 at 7:51pmIf not the OBC, I definitely want Cary Shields in as Roger. Next to Adam he is the best Roger I have seen. I would then want Karmine as my Mimi, they have awesome chemistry.

Posted: 4/2/07 at 10:22amI'd like to see Jonathan Groff as Mark. that's be interesting. And I agree with J-hud as Joanne. I think Cher as maureen would be hysterical, but totally random.

Posted: 4/2/07 at 10:26amI just thought Cher as Maureen was just silly. Don't you think Lakisha or JHud or Melinda Doolitle (sp?) would be good as Joanne??
