Sheryl Lee Ralph Needs To Be The Next Rose

[Jordan Catalano]

It was so crystal clear tonight. Get her back on Broadway in a couple years in GYPSY!

[TheatreDiva90016]

Jennifer Lewis as Mazeppa!
Jennifer Hudson as Rose!
Queen Latifa as Elsie, the Cow!

[Jordan Catalano]

Latifah was born to be Elsie. She's been waiting for that role her entire life.

[CarlosAlberto]

^ That's really mean

[Jordan Catalano]

Yeah, Diva!

[TheatreDiva90016]

I didn't say the back end!

[Jordan Catalano]

Latifah works alone. On all 4's.

[Wynbish]

She's come a long way since "Ssssinging does not put food on the table. Ssssinging does not pay the bills. Sssssinging is no guarantee to a future."

[Jordan Catalano]

If Lauryn Hill guest stars as Hudson's sister, I think I would just die.

[Wynbish]

That would be very Rose-ish. Pushing one daughter and discouraging the other.

[Jordan Catalano]

Especially if Hill now works at the Chinese laundry and has a very stereotypical accent that she's picked up from her years of working there and is jealous of her now famous sister so she decides to poison her with some bleach that she stole from her job right before her big debut in THE WIZ, but luckily the costumes fit her and she steps out on the stage just in time to save the day, proving her Mother wrong.

Jennifer Holiday as Tessie Tura
Loretta Devine as Electra

Dreamstrippers

[Brave Sir Robin2]

I pictured Queen Latifah in a cow costume (cow-stume?), saying "moo moo moo moo" and I almost choked on my vanilla chocolate chip ice cream.

[ABB2357]

Sorry, Jordan, but the show Sheryl needs to come to NY with is the flop-for-the-ages THE FIRST WIVES CLUB, a disaster so delicious it would bring Ken Mandelbaum out from whatever rock he crawled under. Have you all forgotten her legendary "red-day for change"?

^ Now, if there was a show that needed to be cracked out of the vault it has been stored in, that one is it. If only to fill up the gaping hole Scandalous left.

“YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEEEAAAAAAAaaaah!”

I'd only be the for the idea if the same “exuberant” three year old that choreographed the Old Globe production would choreograph a Broadway one.

[ABB2357]

It would be like SCANDALOUS, LEAP OF FAITH, and WONDERLAND combined. Believe me, I saw it twice.

[TheLadyoftheWood]

Bahaha! This thread has given me so many chuckles during my boring economics class that the teacher thought it might be time to have me committed.

[g.d.e.l.g.i.]

For once, Jordan, I have you beat:

JENNIFER HOLLIDAY as Rose
JENNIFER HUDSON as Louise

That's the production to end them all.

[Jordan Catalano]

Holliday doesn't play characters past their mid 20's. Duh.

[givesmevoice]

Isn't Rose only about 30 when the show starts? Maybe it could be like Grey Gardens, and Holliday plays Rose initially and then Louise when the children grow up.

[Wynbish]

Nikki Minaj as June
