I would like to see replacements to show off how good the piece truly is. It's always fascinating to see different takes on a role. As for whom, Just someone who can tackle the part well and sell some tickets!

I think the show will end up closing when Ebersole's contract is up, but I'd love to see Victoria Clark.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

"Carson has combined his passion for helping children with his love for one of Cincinnati's favorite past times - cornhole - to create a unique and exciting event perfect for a corporate outing, entertaining clients or family fun."

"Say 'Goody.' Say 'Bubbi.'" ... "That's it. Exactly as if it were 'Goody.' Now I know you're gonna sing 'Goody' this time, but nevertheless..."
I think Clark is immensly talented, but totally wrong for the part...actually, Prince is the only one I can think of.
I think Maureen Moore should fill out the run...she deserves it.

I think Clark would be a brilliant fit for Edith in Act 1. But I don't she'd be as great a fit for Little Edit in Act 2 - though I'm sure she could pull it.
But like I said earlier - lets save her for the FOLLIES transfer!
