How about some country stars doing "Destry Rides Again"?

Not a famous title nowadays, but its a Western musical. It's more in the "Annie Get Your Gun", "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" area so someone like Reba McEntire (if she hasn't aged out) could play Dolores Gray's part--or this might be more up someone like Carrie Underwood's comfort zone, and there might be someone who could play Andy Griffith's part who is at least a semi-name. Of course, there still are dialogue scenes...

. . .one terrific show survived by a much better than average cast album. Delores Gray is irreplaceable, but a slightly younger Dolly Parton would have been great. Scenes from the original were staple on many of the television variety shows of the time, and Michael Kidd's choreography was terrific. As far as replacing Andy, maybe one of our current sit com stars. buzzie, wishing I were up to the famous showstopping whip dance
