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.

Angela Lansbury as Lady Bracknel in Importance of Being Earnest. If she has the stamina to do Driving Miss Daisy later this year, I'd love to see her take on the Wilde piece.

Robin Williams and Daniel Radcliffe as Bialystock and Bloom. I always wanted to see a comedic pairing in those roles that were NOTHING like Lane and Broderick, or Mostel and Wilder. Plus, Bialystock is a role defined by the improvisations of Nathan Lane. To truly make the role seem fresh again, you need another master of comedy and improvisation, and Robin Williams, provided you tell him to rein it in at least a LITTLE, would be just perfect. Radcliffe is funny, charming, up for almost anything, and his singing voice just sounds like a Leo Bloom to me.

That, and Antonio Banderas as Cervantes/Quixote in Man Of La Mancha.

Williams and Radcliffe in The Producers would be simply divine!

And Theresa Russell can sing? Wow! Love it! I often wonder how many terrific actors out there really can sing, but have just never been given the chance to.
