Sandra Oh in Shakespeare is an exciting thougt but most of those others are pretty lame (Kelly Rowland as Dolly?!?). I'd really like to see Jon Hamm make his way to the stage after Mad Men is finished.

This list is a bit strange.
I'd love to see Sandra Oh in a play. But it doesn't have to be Shakespeare. I think there is quite a bit she could do.
I'm surprised that Sara Ramirez isn't on the list. She hasn't been on Broadway in almost ten years and she definitely has the talent.
Elijah Wood's asset is his elf like look. That would be completely lost in a Broadway house so he would need to project character like nobody's business.
Trying to make Stephen Moyer the next Broadway song and dance man based on his performance as Captain von Trapp is ridiculous. Captain von Trapp has limited singing and simplistic dancing. That idea comes from the same mindset that tried to make Dan Stevens into a Broadway leading man.
Margaret Cho? Because someone is adept at delivering punchlines doesn't mean they can act. (File this idea under "Rosie O'Donnell").
Why would you want to tie Kelly Rowland down to a creaky revival like Hello Dolly? If they can't put her in a new show, then put her in something like Aida or a Dreamgirls revival.
No I don't think Alyson Hannigan would be good in an Edward Albee comedy. And by the way, which Albee play is a comedy? Did you yuk it up at "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Wolf?" "Seascape" "The Goat or Who Is Syliva?" "A Delicate Balance" "Three Tall Women"? Because all of those are dramas.
Actually, even though it's a dated play, I could see Alyson Hannigan in The Heidi Chronicles.
Clo Leachman is a billion times more talented than Elaine Stritch. Why would Clo want to stoop to forgetting her lines like Stritch did in ALNM. And maybe she just doesn't feel like the grind of an eight show a week Broadway show.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Some I never heard of and/or do not watch their shows.
Of those that remain can see DD, Cho, Moyer coming to Broadway. Agree Cloris may not be up to 8 a week unless the part is small. Would love to see Moyer in a True Blood musical.
