Well singin Anatoly in Chess is not that bad. You get to sing your own "anthem" and the leading ladies sing the touching song "i know him so well" about you.

I misunderstood the question of this thread. Chess is most definetely not a musical suited for celebs who can't sing. Updated On: 10/1/06 at 09:44 PM

I was watching the remake of Shall We Dance, and this idea dawned on me:

Anita Gillette- Madame Morrible, Wicked

I think, once she gets a little older, Donna Lynne Champlin will be a wonderful Margaret in Light in the Piazza. And I think Mano would be a great George in Sunday in the Park with George, along with Celia Keenan-Bolger as Dot.

Jennifer Love Hewitt as Belle


"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

Liz, that would be the BEST Agony ever.

Also, a couple pages back, someone suggested Jeremy Kushnier as Freddy in DRS, and I would pay full price to see that.
