Always has been 1/2 of my dreamcast (with Bernadette being the other). Unfortunately, if it wasn't obvious from my posts I have moved countries so I won't even get to see it!

Imagine that voice singing "My Friends", "Epiphany" and "Pretty Women"

 

"It’s the fractured quality in [Bernadette Peters'] singing voice and line readings that puts across the character as someone for whom resentment is sliding into madness." - NYtimes on Follies (2011).

Yes, another bit of dreamcasting to scratch off my list as well. I wonder if there's the remotest chance of a cast recording? Probably not.
(A fun fact for those who aren't aware: the Mrs Lovett, Gina Riley, is mother of Maggie McKenna of 'Muriel's Wedding' and 'Dear Evan Hansen'.)

Yes to Anthony but an even bigger Yes to Gina who has a great voice and the comic chops to 'kill' this role---genius casting---can't wait to be chilled and thrilled.
