There's already a uproar about Tumblr about them not casting real whores...

I was just about to see what everyone was thinking regarding the casting.
Any guesses for Mona? Thorpe?

Posted: 8/7/14 at 4:35pmI heard something about this about two months ago. They were courting a Tony-winner (and also perennial Emmy nominee) for this. Not sure if that deal was closed.

I'd like to see Reba McEntire as Miss Mona.
If he could control his crazy, Alec Baldwin as Sheriff Dodd
Jefferson Mays as Melvin Thorpe
Lillias White as Jewel
Lee Wilkof as the Governor
Leigh Ann Larkin as Doatsey Mae

The only person I can think of who's a multiple Emmy nominee and Tony-winner who's remotely right for this part is Jane Krakowski. Other tv/theatre people I can think of (Like Megan Mullally) aren't Tony winners or are too old (Tyne Daly).

Posted: 8/7/14 at 4:42pmI would love to see Krakowski as Mona.

Too sexy for Mona. Mona shouldn't be better looking than the girls.

Sounds like Angela Lansbury!

And there you have it. But I really don't know where they were at in the process, so that might have fallen through.
And let's remember that Miss Mona is not a dinosaur. She's really a woman in her late 30's (if we go by Carlin Glynn and Dolly Parton).

#22BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS Coming to Broadway; Rob Ashford to Direct!
Posted: 8/7/14 at 4:52pmI wonder if, like Grease, they'll make this production resemble the movie more than the stage piece. It seems like something Ashford might do. It would make me sad.

Posted: 8/7/14 at 4:54pmI don't think they can afford to license "I Will Always Love You." Dolly charges big bucks for that song.

Posted: 8/7/14 at 4:55pmI wonder if this will even make it to Broadway. It just seems so random.
