Glenn Close as Amalia in SHE LOVES ME.
She wouldn't even make it through ONE performance, she'd pass out and need oxygen during "Vanilla Ice Cream" :)

Hi Matt, :)
If Stritch played Aldonza, she would convince Don Quixote he was a fake and failure. "The Impossible Dream" Would Be Cut.
Show would end with muleteers "having their way" with Stritch. :)

Ryan Styles (of TV's "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" fame), as Carol Channing, as Roxie Hart!

Hi Areinking fan, :)
Let me meake sure I understand:
Your scary cast is to have Ryan Stiles play Roxie Hart in CHICAGO as if he were Carol Channing?
If that's your point, that is not scaring!
IT COULD REPLACE SHOCK THERAPY!!!

Anne Reinking as Anne Egerman would be...strange, to say the least.

Hi DGrant, :)
Britney as Eliza? Oh please... she would capture nuances of character about as quickly as a 33 1/3 LP played at 16 1/2 speed (Remember?) :

Perhaps your version of MY FAIR LADY could replace the death penalty.

Hey Governer... :)
What are you trying to do--mount the first production of A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC that failed?
(Except of course for that icky film version. Don't get me started on Elizabeth Taylor singing!) :)
