Cinderella has some of my favorite Rodgers & Hammerstein songs, so I would say that. Emmy Rossum as Cinderella and Bernadette as Stepmother!

Do you really think Sutton Foster is up to the huge demands of that role?

I'd cast Eden Espinosa as Eva Peron over Idina.

Sweeney Todd with Brian Stokes Mitchell and Patti LuPone. Does anyone else think Veanne Cox could pull of this role? I know she'd be brilliant acting wise, and she has done Caroline, or Change, Cinderella, and Company, so maybe she could pull it off.

Derek, I love Guys & Dolls, but that cast gives me nightmares just thinking about it. 20 years between two leads? That doesn't make sense at all. By the time Kerry could even considering thinking about possibly doing Adelaide, Jason Alexander will be confined to a wheelchair.

I STILL say Faith Hill as Ellen and Cheyenne as Chris for Miss Saigon. How about maybe Cary Shields as Chris? That would sound amazing!

Sunday in the Park With George!

I haven't really given any thought to who I would cast (I think Michael Cerveris as George would be interesting though).
