Dream Revival Casts

Sorry if this topic has come up recently, but I've been jamming out to my showtunes playlist lately. There are two revivals I'd pay top dollar to see.

  1. A revival of Urinetown starring Chris Pratt as Officer Lockstock.
  2. A star studded revival of Spelling Bee with Andrew Rannells and Eva Noblezada as Chip Tolentino and Marcy Park.

What are your dream revival casts?

I want Rachel Bloom to play Maureen in Rent. Not that I think we need a Rent revival anytime soon, but whether they do another one-off at the Hollywood Bowl or for the live TV musical, I am dying to see Rachel take on that role.

Interesting. I wonder if she would have her show personality that she does so we’ll bleed through? Like instead of a cocky Maureen it’s more... desperate/defensive/insane? I’d like that.

Possibly! I guess it would depend how the director wanted her to play it. I think she’s a good enough actress that she could pull off the more traditional cocky Maureen if that’s what was wanted. Mostly I just really want to hear her do Over the Moon.

Next To Normal FEAT. Original Broadway Cast.

-Alternatively, Adam Chanler Berat and ‎Jennifer Damiano Taking over as Dan and Diana. With Aaron Tveit as the Doctor(s).

EDIT: y’all is cutthroat kitchen up in here you ask people’s “dream revival” but if it ain’t your “dream” you downvote. Shit just move on and don’t shit on other people’s opinions. Damn.

Next To Normal FEAT. Original Broadway Cast.

Aaron Tveit is still youthful but no way could he play a teenager anymore. A more edgy idea would be for a revival in another 5-6 years and have him play the dad.
