I listened to it, and it sounds like she'd really like to do it. I wonder if they have a Desiree secured? I think Reynolds would be an appropriate and exciting choice. Updated On: 5/3/10 at 07:51 AM
To be fair, wasn't Angela's prime all of about 5 years? (And I adore everything about her) And, who amongst the tourist crowd who sees her name thinks anything beyond "Murder, She Wrote" or "Beauty and the Beast" or possible "Manchurian Candidate"
Honestly, husk, I've never thought that Angela was completely right for this part either. Even after seeing her in costume, makeup, and singing the full song.
So I (mostly) agree with you! She's just "more right" than Reynolds, but not by much.
I wish they'd import Leslie Caron for Mme. Armeldt, but Debbie Reynolds is a bigger name.
Come to think of if, why not Betty White? As equally suited for the part as Lansbury or Reynolds. And she'd sell out that theatre.
I wish Maggie Smith was in better health.

I agree with best12bars in his first post: the little girl from Burbank, etc. I think that Debbie Reynolds is a terrible choice to replace Lansbury. She does not have the class for the part, IMO. How about Dame Judi Dench? Suggesting Debbie Reynolds seems like something Roundabout would do.
Debbie would be adorable and she's still so pretty, you would see where Desiree gets her looks from. I'd still like to see Blythe Danner with or without her daughter.

Betty White is THE definition of cute. I don't get how anyone thinks that is a good idea.
Yes, Angela brings some warmth to her scenes with Fredrika, but she is still perfectly bitchy/sardonic in her interactions with Desiree, and during the dinner scene. Updated On: 5/3/10 at 01:17 PM
