"Hello, Dolly!" - Meryl Streep. She'd be wonderful.

When EVITA hits Broadway (hopefully still) next year I will be very upset if the role of Eva doesn't go to Lauren Kennedy.

Evita - Kristin Chenoweth
Bye Bye Birdie-I'd like to see Barrett Foa as Conrad and Jenn Gambetese as..oh sorry, forgot her name..Kim? was it?

And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps... What did she realize, Kitten? That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs. What's wrong with that? Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had... Where? On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

I can't believe I'm going to dare say this, but Carolee Carmello singing 'Don't Cry For Me, Argentina' would be thrilling, gorgeous and haunting.

YES! Carolee as Evita! My first choice would have been Emily Skinner, but I'll take Carolee.

Carolee is too old for EVITA, sadly. I would kill to hear her sing that score, though.

And um, did you seriously just say Cheno for that role?

FOAnatic... yes! That would be amazing...!
I also agree about Barrett as Conrad... he'd be incredible!

She is too old. But vocally she'd be absolutely incredible.

Thank you Qtkt...I am secretly hoping for BP when they revive DOLLY!

Do you really want Bernie to get sick again, miss too many performances and show off the boobs again?

So, would you rather she retire from the theatre? I don't think so! She would be amazing in the role and I completely believe she can handle it. Are you surprised she got sick in Gypsy? It almost killed Merman's vocal chords...it ain't an easy part.

HOW could you people think Kristin Chenoweth was even remotely right for that part?!

How old is Carolee? 40? I did a google search and nothing came up. How about Emily as Evita?

Foa, I just think she'd be much more suited for Auntie Mame while Bette Midler would make a MARVELOUS Dolly.

I do agree with you there...she would make a fabulous Mame. I guess I'd just rather see her as Dolly. I certainly hope she has something to do with either revival.
