"Long live God!" (GODSPELL)
Liza in Sunset Boulevard
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."
Amy Adams as Galinda
Hunter: Your teeth need whitening./ Heidi: You sound weird./ Jeff: You taste funny.

Loretta Swit! What a delicious disaster!
I actually think Liza would be pretty good in SUNSET--she's a very good actress if you watch Sterile Cuckoo, Arthur or ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT.

I want to apologize for some offensive messages posted on this board under my name. The night 0f 12-15-08 I did not have internet access, and someone had used my name to post something offensive. My avatar was also changed. I dont' know what else was posted, or if anyone recieved bad PMs, but I want to apologize for that. I've changed my password, and even though I was not the one posting these messages it still needed to be corrected.

How about Amy Adams as Ariel?
"But I can tell you that Raoul, who was so handsome in "The Phantom," is now a drunken wreck."
Melinda Doolittle as Effie in Dreamgirls... if she put on some weight.
Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!
Jared Leto... Roger (RENT)
Alanis Morissette... Elphaba (Wicked)
And I think these two could theoretically handle it vocally too. C'mon, producers, cast them. Preferably on the tour.

Kristen Bell as Elle Woods...enough said! She should have originated the role in the first place.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"

Vicki Lawrence - The Drowsy Chaperone, The Drowsy Chaperone
Melora Hardin - Roxie Hart, Chicago
Julianne Hough - Charity, Sweet Charity (or Roxie if Ashlee can do it)
Tracie Thoms - ANYTHING (personably she'd be a fabulous Elphaba to break the standard recycling procedure or a Matron in Chicago)
Tina Fey - Diane, The Little Dog Laughed
Queen Latifah - ANYTHING (she really needs an original role but she could reprise her Matron or Motormouth)
Christina Aguilera - Louise, Gypsy

She's not really a name anymore but I've thought that Cybill Shepard would be great as Velma von Tussle.

We must have different Gods. My God said "do to others what you would have them do to you". Your God seems to have said "My Way or the Highway".
So basically your idea of "Stunt casting" is to put a famous person in the role? Because some of the people named are actually BROADWAY ACTORS. Why is it a "Stunt" to cast a BROADWAY actor in a BROADWAY show?
No good can possibly come from using this vast wasteland of error and deliberate deceit. You should get off of it and warn others away. You should make sure your children and grandchildren know what a corrupt and morally bankrupt institution it truly is.
I second Tracie Thoms--what an amazing Elphaba she'd be.

"You will understand that Bww is a forum that allows Theatre people, Fussy old Queens, and chorus boys of Mama Mia to release their everyday life's frustration by being Snarky, B**chy, and sarcastic."
-BwayBoundJoe
I TOTALLY agree with Kristen Bell as Elle Woods in "Legally Blonde" or as Kira in "Xanadu".... and Alanis Morissette as Elphaba! Wow, that would DEFINITELY get me to see "Wicked" again!

Kristen Bell as Kira in Xanadu
"If we don't live happily ever after at least we survive until the end of the week!" -Kermit the frog "I need the money... it costs a lot to look this cheap!" -Dolly P. "Oh please, Over at 'Gypsy' Patti LuPone hasn't even alienated her first daughter yet!" Mary Testa in "Xanadu" "...Like a drunk Chita Rivera!" Robin de Jesus in "In the Heights"
"B*tch, I don't know your life." -Xanadu After that if he still doesn't understand why you were uncomfortable and are now infuriated, kick him again but this time with Jazz Hands!!! -KillerTofu
Hugh Laurie and I don't what show they stick him in although I think it would be interesting to see him as the patriarch in The Homecoming. Either way I would just love to see him on broadway!
"Perhaps, when we remember wars, we should take off our clothes and paint ourselves blue and go on all fours all day long and grunt like pigs."
