Encores! It's a Bird...It's a Plane...It's Superman

I'd hit him upside the head and drag his sexy ass back to my dungeon and show him my cat on a hot tin roof.

^I'm glad we're on the same page.

Matt Bomer would be great and great way to be "introduced" to the NYC theatre. I think White Collar films late spring and through the summer, but I could be wrong.

I have a feeling it will be Cavenaugh though. I'm trying to think of other possibilites, even ones I don't think are perfect but I could conceivably see being considered.

Josh Gad.

[CATSNYrevival]

Is Colin Donnell too busy with Arrow?

[nasty_khakis]

No, he's too busy with ME!

[SondheimFan5]

What's James Marsden up to? How is he without autotune?

Jeremy Jordan?

Aaron Tveit?

[Jordan Catalano]

Can Thomas sing?

[CATSNYrevival]

^Jeremy Jordan is clearly too busy with Smash and Aaron Tveit is too busy looking at himself in the mirror.

[WiCkEDrOcKS]

Jordan, YES to Kazee. He's a little too boy-next-doorish to be a perfectly ideal Superman, but I think he could pull it off.

Matt Boner has the look, that's for damn sure. But can he sing?

[latitudex1]

^ Bomer? He was a musical theater major at Carnegie Melon. He's even made a guest appearance on Glee. He could sing the score.

[Jordan Catalano]

Ricky Martin could do it. Kinda.

[CATSNYrevival]

^How about the better Ricky Martin? Max Von Essen.

[WiCkEDrOcKS]

Had no idea he graduated from Carnegie Mellon! And forgot he was on GLEE.

I try to block out every memory of ever watching that disaster of a show.

[Emmaloucbway]

I was thinking possibly Max von Essen too. Would also love to see Jeremy Jordan or Aaron Tveit, but I doubt either of them will do it.

[newintown]

Von Essen, Jordan, and Tveit, although all perfectly fit, would probably need some padding to play the Man Of Steel, who has always been visualized as more of a football player than a yoga instructor. And the vocal range is for a classic Broadway belting baritone (a la Stokes Mitchell); the boys above are really tenors, or at most lyric baritones. I'm holding out for a good old manly man to play the man.

Nathan Gunn?

[SondheimFan5]

John Cullum as Superman.

[newintown]

kd lang?

[AC126748]

Phrank?

[GottaHaveAGimmick]

Stritchie?

[Jordan Catalano]

15 years ago, Kudisch would have been a wet dream come true in the role.

[newintown]

Hot as he was, even then, Spanx would have been required.

[nasty_khakis]

Enough with all these racist ideas! Let's just let Norm Lewis fill out those tights!

[Jordan Catalano]

Racist ideas?

[nasty_khakis]

It was a joke since we were only suggesting white actors who look like the traditional Superman. Since most colorblind casting threads turn into arguments I thought I'd make a joke of it. Didn't mean it seriously.
