How about Harvey Feirstien as Mr.Mushnik or Jesse L. Martin as Audrey 2 in Little Shop of Horrors? That be interesting to see Johnny Depp play the Emcee, I could see him doing interesting things for that character.

Your aspirations are your possibilities-Samuel Johnson (and a little help from nomdeplume)

I was recently thinking about a cast for guys and dolls
Sky: Hugh Jackman
Adelaide: Julia Murney
Sarah: Audra McDonald
Nathan: ? Nathan Lane is pretty Perfect in the role
^I love that idea!

Patti LuPone as Rose in Gypsy (on Broadway)
Julia Murney as Fanny Brice in Funny Girl
Stephanie J Block as Eva in Evita (maybe?)
Beth Leavel as Vera in Mame
Christine Ebersole or Patti LuPone as Mame
Bernadette Peters as Dolly in Hello Dolly
Bebe Neuwrith as Joanne in Company

There wouldn't be lights bright enough!

I'm sorry to disagree with some of the choices but Reese playing Glinda??? I shudder at that thought. Her singing in Walk the Line was at best weak and without anything distinctive for that role. C'mon the notes that Glinda hits are out of her range..unless they are going to bring a computer to help her out it going to happen!

As much as I love Michael Cerveris, I absolutly Can't see him anywhere near Phantom.

I do think he would make a decent Bobby in Company though.
Lauren Molina would make an amazing Clara in Light In the Piazza. And I think Kristin Chenoweth is a bit old for the part of Johanna, and not naive enough.

And I know it's been rumored, but I'd go back to see Ann Harada as Mdme. Thernaider (sp?) in Les Mis.

That's so weird. I was just watching Georgia the other night and the thought came into my mind. Mare's got a wonderful voice. So haunting. It also really made me wish I could have seen Jennifer Jason Leigh as Sally in Cabaret.
