Well, Bebe Neuwirth already understudied the role of Cassie in the original Broadway production of A Chorus Line when she played Sheila.

What performance are you judging her voice off of, somethingwicked?

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.

I think her voice is pretty powerful, somethingwicked. The single doesn't exactly give her the best chance to showcase what she can do and she said she was singing in character in Little Black Book (although I thought she still sounded pretty good there). She sang pretty strongly in Riding in Cars with Boys and in the opening of the MTV Awards a few years ago.

True, Bebe already DID understudy Cassie whan she played Shiela 
I had almost let that slip my mind 
Thank you for reminding me.
Patrick Wilson would be a GREAT Enjolras... He could probably pull Marius off pretty well, too. But I think he'd be a better Enjolras.

Adam Pascal as Fiyero
Johnathan Pryce as Captain Hook in PETER PAN

EponineAmneris---Mandy Patinkin actually played Tevye in Fiddler back when he went to my university. Of course he was a college kid then!
EDIT: I did see him in it, but I was about FIVE at the time, so I honestly don't remember much.

Here here! somethingwicked! i have ALWAYS thought Julia Murney would be an amazing Daisy in SS. But, she would be amazing in just about anything. I would love to see her do the LaChiusa Wild Party and Toni Collette do the Lippa. Just for fun! They are both extraordinary.

I'd also like to see Marin in Piazza as others have said.
I'd like to see Bernadette try her hand at Dolly Levi.
Ms. LuPone on BROADWAY in Gypsy (although we have to wait for a certain someone to die first)
Stephanie Block in Funny Girl.
And...
"Cheyenne Jackson as Tommy opposite Kelli O'Hara as Fiona in BRIGADOON."
I'd pay to see that.
DG---I'd pay to see that too.

Disclaimer: I've only seen A Little Night Music in a community theatre but weeks seeing Christine Baranski in Mame a few weeks ago, I thought she would make a good Desiree.
I really don’t see Bernadette as Mrs. Lovett but think she would make a great Dolly though!

I agree that Marin would be great in PIAZZA in a few years when she's old enough (Margaret's supposed to be in her early fifties, I'd say).

Anyway, I think Sarah Jessica Parker is Charity is an awesome idea!
Here are some others that I think could be pretty cool...Don't take it too seriously :)
Audra McDonald- Eliza in My Fair Lady
Brittany Murphy- Roxie in Chicago
Vanessa Williams- Ruth in Wonderful Town
Katharine McPhee- Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors
Ariel in The Little Mermaid

Toni Collette as Mrs. Lovette or Mamma Rose.
Marin Mazzie would be INCREDIBLE as Margaret. I wish I could hear her sing that score right now.
I never realized it, but Sutton Foster would be absolutely perfect for Louise/Gypsy. She might be a little old now, but I dont care. She could easily play the awkward tomboyish side of her in the beginning and make a beautiful transition into the confident womanly stripper at the end
