"Does Karen Olivo have the dancing chops for Kiss of the Spiderwoman? Just asking because I know she was criticized for her dancing in West Side Story."

I don't think dancing would be a problem for her in Spiderwoman. She is a competent dancer, and the choreography for that show is not really iconic in any way and thus would not be recreated from the original. A new choreographer would be able to tailor movement to her abilities and make her shine, rather than trying to force her into iconic, and very difficult, choreography that everybody knows.

Christine Baranski as MAME

Reba McEntire in Hello Dolly!
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

Grand Hotel with:

Donna Murphy as Elizaveta
Jessica Lee Goldyn (for an unknown) or Sutton (for a more well known) as Flaemmchen
Raul Esparza as the Baron, though he might be too old...

but I can't seem to cast the rest.

Kiss of the Spider Woman starring Beyonce. The role doesn't require much in the acting department besides looking beautiful and seducing Molina/the audience, and she'd sing and dance the sh*t out of that role. She'd sell crazy amounts of tickets, but she'd also be legitimately brilliant IMO.

actormcfamous, Beyonce in KISS is an inspired idea imho. We'd probably end up with Michelle Williams alas.....

Since Normal Heart has had such extraordinary acclaim, the time might be right for a revival of FALSETTOS?
Bryan D'Arcy James as Marvin
Leslie Kritzer or Stephanie D'Abruzzo as Trina
Norbert Leo Butz as Mendel
Aaron Tveit or Ryan Silverman as Whizzer
Mary Testa as Dr Charlotte
Leigh Ann Larkin as Cordelia

I wish they'd make an full-scale revival of "Anyone Can Whistle" with Sutton Foster, Raul Esparza, Donna Murphy (and Casey Nicholaw directing, of course)--if for nothing else but to make a cast recording.

I'd really also like to see a revival of "Sunday in the Park with George", and "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum." But I don't know who to cast. Laura Benanti is pretty enough to play Philia, and she's Italian (I hope, based on that last name) so she'd fit in as a Roman. But Philia isn't really the important character in "A Funny Thing...". Could Kelli O'Hara do Dot in "Sunday in the Park"? She doesn't have a Bernadette-type voice, but that doesn't mean she couldn't do it.

Christiane Noll as Eliza in "My Fair Lady". Stephen Ashfield (original Bob Gaudio in the West End production of "Jersey Boys") would be an awesome Freddy, in my opinion. I heard him sing "On the Street Where You Live" and I loved it. For me, he has the right amount of dorky-yet-charming guy.
I like your imperturbable perspicacity.

If there's a revival of She Loves Me, I'd like it to star most of the cast from the 2008 Huntington Theatre production. Benanti is intriguing as Amalia, but I'd really love to see Kate Baldwin do it again.

I agree with Sutton in Beauty and the Beast, and The Little Mermaid with Laura Osnes.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body
