I know that this will never happen but I can't help but see Emma Stone as a fantastic Jenna, if the musical were to ever be adapted into a film. 

 

While her voice isn't the greatest I think she's got or can play the grit needed for Jenna. What do you think?

This is exactly why she should not. (I say that as an Emma Stone fan.)

1. It was a movie first before it was a musical. Highly doubt they'd adapt it back into a movie musical. 

2. And as much as I love Emma Stone and think she was great in Cabaret, I'd have to say no.

To be fair, they've done this with a few shows, like Hairspray and Little Shop. (Though I agree that I don't expect it with Waitress.)

Ok, since I'm an idiot I first read thinking it said, "Emma Rossum." Now that could be interesting.

Hey, to be fair, EMMY Rossum's acting and singing have improved immensely over the years.

Part of the reason she was a fabulous Sally is because she can’t really sing amazingly. It worked for the character. For Jenna, it does not.

Hope to get her back on Broadway somehow though.

It’s a no from me, dawg.

I actually think P!nk would be a fantastic Jenna. She has the down to earth, been through a lot appeal and I can hear her raspy voice exploding on She Used To Be Mine and also singing the other songs well.

She said somewhere that she’s not interested in replacing. I can’t remember where. Doesn’t mean she won’t though. Rent is rent and a job is job.

Eh, I don’t fully see it, even though it almost happened. Don’t know why it didn’t pan out, but my biggest problem with her in Bandstand is that she doesn’t play a grounded, gritty woman very well. She’s too polished.
