I wouldn't necessarily go quite so far as to say that Ben Platt would be "preposterous" casting as Franklin Shepard, but if he or someone of his type were to be cast in that role, whoever would you get to play Charley? I think there has to be some difference of general type between the two characters, and there is a lot about Charley as written that screams "Ben Platt."
I assume the people who said Audra was wrong to play Billie Holliday said that because they couldn't imagine her singing in the style of Billie Holliday, which is in a completely different musical universe as her own voice, and had no idea that she could do that so brilliantly well. And as for David Hyde Pierce as Horace, I said from the beginning that people who objected to his casting were wrong in thinking the role had to be played in a very specific way. |
