Now the question is: in what?? I'd watch her read the phone book, personally. But, realistically, that's just not possible.

I'd love to see her in an original play. Or maybe a revival of THE LITTLE FOXES?

Trevor Nunn would sooner cast her as Mme. Armfeldt.

I've been waiting for years for those damn kids to go to college so this could happen. She's been saying it for years now so I'm 100% sure we'll see her in a play (or even a musical) by the end of 2011.

I think she specifically mentioned "play" in that briefing, which was after some reporter gushed over her role in "Mamma Mia!" (rather than "Doubt") last year.

She can't keep doing movies like that Nancy Meyers crapfest.

Tony Kushner should write something for her.

Don't know about the Mike Nichols bit, but it sounds like someone else knows about a little something, huh Pgenre...

Funny you said Anyone Can Whistle, because I was thinking another Lansbury role might be good for her...Auntie Mame perhaps?

It'd be exciting if she did Anyone Can Whistle in April at Encores, but I doubt that's happening.

I can already hear people complaining about her not signing at the stage door or selling signed posters for BC/EFA for too much money and not signing their posters or playbills. Welcome to Broadway Meryl!

How about a new musical/play written for her. But, I do actually like the idea of her as Auntie Mame/Mame (although she is too old I guess).

I'd rather see her in a brand new play, but a revival will do. I want her to play a b!tch, just because watching her rip someone to shreds would make me pee myself. If she did BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE, that would be marvelous. But that won't happen.

How about a great all-star revival of THE CHERRY ORCHARD, the play she first made an impression in (the Serban at Lincoln Center), as Dunyasha the maid. Now, she'd be magnificent in the role played by Irene Worth, Ranyevskaya. I know she did SEAGULL in the park, a not dissimilar role, but we could use a great ORCHARD. A couple of years ago, I saw Laila Robbins do a lovely production at Shakespeare Theatre of NJ, and thought Meryl should do this.
