The Secret Garden and Passion...I think Laura Benanti would make a great Clara in Passion and Norm Lewis would be a fantastic Giorgio.

I actually would like to see Laura Benanti play Fosca. I seem to remember reading an interview with her where she expressed interest in playing her and I think she'd be fantastic.


When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain. -Kad

I feel like she's too...classically pretty? to play Fosca but I agree she'd act and sing the role marvelously. I mean I know they made her look plain for the first act of Gypsy but I'm not sure I could see it in terms of physical looks.

I'm not sure where this came from, but Patrick Stewart in Equus seems like a good match.

Whoever said the Rink with Patti and Leigh Ann thats a brilliant idea!!! The two i have been dreaming of for years is Kiss of the Spiderwoman with Catherine Zeta Jones and now that shes a Tony winner maybe its more plausible than it was before. My other was Grand Hotel with Hugh Panaro as The Baron and Leigh Ann Larkin as Flemchenn.

I think Brigadoon needs a big, gorgeous, heat-stopping revival directed by Bart Sher.

30 piece orchestra, please. Brilliant casting ideas elude me at the moment.

Wolfwolf, in case you were referring to me (since I mentioned Anthony Warlow), yes, I am.


"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022) "Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009) "Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

On the 20th Century with Kevin Kline as Oscar Jaffe.
Oh Captain with maybe David Hyde Pierce.
High Spirits - A few years ago I would have suggested Angela Lansbury for Madame Arcati but since she just played her in Blithe Spirit, that wouldn't work.

Miss Saigon. I would love to see a minimalistic approach taken to the show. Simple set and costumes.
