Regarding Ball, I agree that the singing would've been problematic, but lots of ladies have played the role, some better singers than others. I think the bigger problems would've been Ball having the stamina to do eight performances a week, something she stuggled with in WILDCAT, as well as her possibly not trusting the director or the material and turning Mrs. Levi into another variation on her television "Lucy" character.
