She can act.
She can sing
She gives out warmth

She has a fan base and will attract a new audience.

If you want to make this an event hire Hugh Jackman or find out if Denzel Washington can sing.

Queen Latifah would be inspired casting, in terms of both character appropriateness and probable box office draw. But per you suggestion, I don't think Horace can be a bigger star than Dolly. But what about someone like Ben Vereen? Can Billy Dee Williams be curmudgeonly? (I don't think the entire production would or should need to be recast a la Pearl Bailey's).
