Being able to sing WONDERFUL TOWN and being able to sing MACK AND MABEL is the difference between night and day.

I'm with Rath there- Wonderful Town was made for a sorta-singer. Mack and Mabel is a different story.

Can't agree with you on either performer

Mack is a gruff older bully who hides his soft side.

Mabel is a simple girl and needs to make a lot of broad physical comedy believeable.

John Lithgow and Donna Lynne Champlin.

at the risk of expected (and deserved) attendance comments.....how about amending that to John Lithgow and Donna Murphy?

Doesn't Donna Murphy read a little old and sophisticated to play America's girl-next-door sweetheart?
