When Georgia leaves I think Betty White would be excellent. What do you think? "I'm tellin' you, the only times I really feel the presence of God are when I'm having sex and during a great Broadway musical." - Nathan Lane - Jeffrey

This is actually something I would completely agree with. She's such a sweetheart in person. FIRST WIVES CLUB - THE MUSICAL "Behind every great woman...stands herself!" December 31, 2006 = Yea, I miss THE WEDDING SINGER.

I'd love to meet her. How did you? "I'm tellin' you, the only times I really feel the presence of God are when I'm having sex and during a great Broadway musical." - Nathan Lane - Jeffrey

I wish that would have happened before I saw the show. The brave do not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all.

She's 84 years old...

You didn't enjoy it? "I'm tellin' you, the only times I really feel the presence of God are when I'm having sex and during a great Broadway musical." - Nathan Lane - Jeffrey

Excuse me, have you seen DROWSY CHAPERONE? Georgia Engel does quite a bit of dancing. I can't imagine Betty White doing that at this point in her career. Proud to be a "sad, sad, sad, toxic person"

I think Betty White could do it, but like Dolly Pop said, not sure about the dancing.

why not rue????

15 years ago = totally! "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb into his skin and walk around in it." To Kill A Mockingbird

It's hard to believe that Betty is 84!! She was fantastic when she was on The Practice a few seasons ago. Played totally against type. Hey Dottie! Did your colleagues enjoy the cake even though your cat decided to sit on it? ~GuyfromGermany

Yes, Georgia does quite a bit of dancing in the show. There's one production number where she's in the first line and dances up a storm. If no one else has noticed it, Georgia makes every exit like a ballerina would. She's the epitome of grace. BTW: Don't expect Georgia to leave DROWSY too soon. She's known for long runs. Proud to be a "sad, sad, sad, toxic person"

i say elaine stritch// RIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSEEEEE RIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEE...underling...RIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEE

Just as long as ONE of them is there when I see the show come December, I'll be happy :p (I get very fangirl over MTM )

Having worked with Betty, I can attest to the fact that she is undoubtedly one of the sweetest, most professional women in the business. But at her age, I can't imagine that she would either want to or be up to sustaining such a role 8 performances a week. She already has a full and rewarding life on the West Coast - and continues to work there and elsewhere - so why would this be of interest to her? Of course, Bea Arthur came to Broadway in her one-woman show at the age of (close to) 80, and Elaine Stritch continues on stronger than ever. But I just don't see Betty wanting to do something like this for the long run.

Betty is STILL one of the richest women in the entertainment industry. She sure doesn't need the bucks or the general daily workout grind in order to keep up her stamina. I think she'd be a great replacement in the fantasy casting department.
