A- freaking- MEN!
Also, Merrily We Roll Along with Sutton Foster as Mary, Hunter Foster as Charley, and maybe Christian Borle as Franklin Shepard?! And Jen Cody as Gussie! Oooh.

I love you. I would've NEVER thought of that!
And, Laura Michelle Kelly in ANYTHING! I mean the Sweeney movie, yes, but how about hopping over the pond sometime? Even if it's to do Mary Poppins (which I doubt will happen).

I realized this thread has been dead for like a month, but I had to share this (totally odd) idea: Roger Bart as Lumiere in BatB. I don't know what made me think of this, it just popped into my head. I think he'd do a HILARIOUS accent though!
To whoever posted the twisted Julia Andrews casting of Mrs. Lovett--I LOVE IT! (Pun unintended.)
Christine Ebersole as Margaret in The Light In The Piazza Anthony Warlow in POTO Anneliese van der Pol as Fanny Brice Taye Diggs as Coalhouse in Ragtime (maybe? meh. i dunno.) Kate Winslet/Toni Collett (I'm sure I spelled that wrong...) as The Bakers Wife in Into the Woods

Kristen chenoweth: I second her as Elizabeth in YF, that part is written for her. Also, I could see her as a very different but interesting take on momma rose. Hell, I'd love to see EVERYONE as momma rose!
megan mullaly-ursula in LM, and one of the evil sisters in Xanadu. Oh, and Momma rose (Imagine, "I had a DREAM")
ethel merman(if she hadn't died yet)- lady of the lake in MPS. I'd kill to see her in that, OR ANYTHING ELSE FOR THAT MATTER!!!! (and.. of wait, she IS rose)
julie andrews as edwin drood in... DROOD! She couldn't be momma rose, too nice. Well, maybe...(hey, angela lansbury was mrs. lovett, so why not?)
orfeh-I second her being in Spamalot, and she could really belt out Ursula in Little Mermaid. Maybe rose, but we'll see.
Harvey Fierstien-herbert in MPS. WHAT A LAUGH THAT'D BE!!!! and momma rose! (bringing new meaning to the phrase stage mother...)
I don't know if he has enough singing ability to play him, but if he did, James Roday would make an awesome Pirelli. Or maybe a Dr. Frankenstein (Young Frankenstein, not Hunterstein).
He's a faker, and you've been taken in by his con. And in doing so, you are enabling him. He is doing more damage to aspergers than papa's words ever could. -Chane/Liverpool on me having asperger syndrome.
