Who would you like to see in a potential revival of

[ILOHTFAHA (Aida Man)]

Here's who I would like to see...

Sally Bowles-Natalie Dormer (Keep in mind that the actress playing the role has to be a great actress but just a good singer)

The Emcee-Neil Patrick Harris (in a different costume of course)

Cliff Bradshaw-Colin Donnell

[ljay889]

Neil has already played that role.

[Jordan Catalano]

Austin Scarlett as Sally Bowels.

[ILOHTFAHA (Aida Man)]

Well I was at my wits end on who would play the role but hadn't already. But anyway my second choice is Hugh Jackman.

[henrikegerman]

Can Anna Paquin sing?

[Jon]

Daniel Radcliffe as Emcee.

[michellek45]

I would like to see Naya Rivera take on Sally. I think she could bring a sharper edge to the role, and her voice suits the songs. I agree with Colin Donnell for Cliff. Maybe Kacie Sheik for the Emcee, maybe not- I can't decide. But I would like to see a female Emcee.

[ILOHTFAHA (Aida Man)]

Well I took a class at the college I go to in California called History of Musical Theater, and the professor said the actress playing Sally has to be a GREAT actress but a good singer and I agree with him. She doesn't need to be a carbon-copy of Liza who happens to be GREAT at both. Natasha Richardson I believe had no singing experience when she was cast as Sally.

My professor also said that if Frau Schneider is directed the wrong way the audience will hate her. But if she's directed correctly the audience will understand why she tells Herr Schultz she won't marry him.

Never mind who. How 'bout a revival of the 1966 version?

[everythingISpossible]

I've been thinking about this for a while and I think my (realistic) picks would be Emma Stone as Sally and Daniel Radcliffe as The M.C.

[SondheimFan5]

I feel that the 1966 (with the original settings, choreography, direction, etc) would feel very bland and dated to today's audience. It was a big deal and it was edgy back then, now it would just feel corny and stale.

[random person 112]

I always thought of Lauren Ambrose for Sally, or Elena Roger who i know is on the older side but Elena still looks VERY young.

[Jon]

As long as they don't cast some 40-year old as Sally. She really should be in her 20's.

[Kad]

I could see Christopher Fitzgerald making a good Emcee.

[Princeton Returns]

I'm amazed anyone thinks elena looks young

[HistoryBoy2]

I'm not her biggest fan, but Jennifer Damiano would make an interesting Sally

If we're talking further ahead, give it about seven years and Mary Testa would make an incredible Fraulein Schneider.

Also, imagine what Ellen Greene's Sally would have been like. Wow.

^Princeton, the Evita pictures don't do her justice. If you've ever seen the video of her doing the photo shoot for the Spanish people magazine, you know she certainly CLEANS UP.

[SondheimFan5]

She'd never do it but...Meryl Streep as Fraulein Schneider.

Jan Maxwell would also be superb.

[Jordan Catalano]

I like the idea of an older Sally, personally. Much like LITTLE SHOP'S Audrey, the piece works better if she's not some young girl. She needs to have been chewed up and spit out by life in order to make her pain believable.

[PennybankBill]

Though he'd never do it in a million years, I'd want Stefan Kurt as The Emcee.

[xxdrewboy85xx]

For so long I've said I want Kate Winslet to play Sally Bowles. If she did, she'd get that T in EGOT.

"As long as they don't cast some 40-year old as Sally. She really should be in her 20's"

Now, I kind of agree with that, yet I kind of don't- so I started thinking what the cast could be like if Sally and say Cliff were in their 20's. This is what I just came up with.

Carey Mulligan- Sally Bowles
Bobby Steggert- Cliff

I can't think of anyone for The Emcee of the top of my head. You can't really decide who would be great for that role with out seeing their audition and what choices they bring to the role. IMHO.

[nasty_khakis]

Jan Maxwell's bag?

[random person 112]

I agree it is sad Kate never did the last revival. I was thinking more along the lines of Donna Murphy for Fraulein Schneider, i also like several others on here would love to Joanna Gleason play that role.

EDIT: I don't know if she sings but given how simple her songs Frauleins songs she could do it, Anjelica Houston.
