Just out of curiousity, Megan McGinnis as Clara in "Piazza." Her voice doesn't have quite the punch that Kelli's did, but it's so pure and light.
Kelli as Julie in "Carousel" or Magnolia in "Show Boat."
I think Celia would be a cute Belle. Her voice-- at least as Olive-- has a certain Disney quality to it. Maybe even Ariel. 
Laura Benanti as Mary Poppins.
Sutton as Molly Brown.
Lea Salonga as Nancy in "Oliver."

She was fabulous.

That girl who plays the blonde angel in the Philedelphia Jammin' Swirls commercials could play a good Celeste in SITPWG.
Just the way she says, "Ooh! I've got Philly on my fruit spread!" and "Yeah. I wonder how they do it." reminds me of the girl on the DVD (Melanie Vaughan or Mary D'arcy? I don't know which one is which.).

Sutton as Gertrude in Seussical
Lauren Molina as Christine in PotO
"In theater, the process of it is the experience. Everyone goes through the process, and everyone has the experience together. It doesn't last - only in people's memories and in their hearts. That's the beauty and sadness of it. But that's life - beauty and the sadness. And that is why theater is life." - Sherie Rene Scott

Posted: 7/17/06 at 1:18pmOk, so I was listening to Initials from the Hair Benifit Recording (an amazingly awesome song by the way hehe) and realized- has Laura Benanti seriously never done Christine in Phantom!? that just... amazes me.. cause the music was like... made for her voice haha. AND she completely has the look too! So yeah, Laura needs to do phantom lol
I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.

Andrea Bowen as Penny in Hairspray
"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

A lot of suggestions of Audra as Dot... as much as I love her, I think more of a traditional belter is needed for the role.
Mine (excepting roles they've played):
Adam Pascal as Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar
Raul Esparza as Anatoly in Chess
Manoel Felciano as George in Sunday in the Park with George
Lauren Kennedy as Beth in Merrily We Roll Along
I'll also agree with Marin Mazzie as Margaret in Piazza
Edit: I also like the suggestion of Michael Arden as Anthony in Sweeney Todd, or possibly even Tobias.

Posted: 8/5/06 at 4:27pmI would really like to see Lauren Molina as Clara in Light in the Piazza. Maybe she could do it on tour after Elena does it.

Megan McGinnis singing "The Light In The Piazza" would be heavenly!
