That's the thing though...part of the question I was asking. If it's 1965 and you're in David Merrick's office and he comes up with a list of possible replacements for Channing that includes names like Ginger Rogers and Betty Grable, would you have had the exact same reaction? Would these old broads from the movies actually sell any tickets? If you can see SWING TIME or MOON OVER MIAMI on the late show any night of week, will people pay to see them in DOLLY?

I see what you are saying but....that audience would consist of women over forty (and their husbands) and gays boys. For any of them this would be an opportunity to see a real live movie star. Maybe from the past but still mostly women of glamour.

Today, going back twenty or thirty years: not so much.

And which of these names would actually sign on to be a replacement in a musical.

And does movies. I could see a star doing it to greenlight their next project.
