"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.

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.

If we're bringing back Mame, Megan Mullally please!

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.

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.
