| Not than she's either an unknown (at least in our world) or a potential rising star, but I once asked Laura Osnes what role, of any in the history of Broadway musical theater, she'd most like to play. Her answer was "Marion". | |

| Given that Foster is talented and could surprise my limited imagination of her in the role (Sorry. I am not the biggest fan. I find her ‘the same’ in most of the roles she plays, including television.)... I would much rather see Osnes as Marion. Jackman, also a good pick, will sell the tickets....Osnes will sing it...beautifully. | |

| I'm imagining something about a Wells Fargo stagecoach...but maybe someone else (Laura? GrumpyMorningBoy?) should take the reins from here...;-) However, I think if she's Marion, then he has to be Harald. ;-) |

| I posted this earlier, but it didn't appear for some reason: I've always found it interesting that the screenplay for the film of THE MUSIC MAN was written by Marion Hargrove, whom I had always assumed was a woman until I found out otherwise quite recently. But I believe some women named Marion do spell it that way, rather than the more common Marian. |

| Marion Davies spelled it that away. She had a substantial career on Broadway over a hundred years ago. | |

| I do think it can be spelled both ways for women. But it's clear that Ms. Paroo uses the "a" version. :-) | |

| On an episode of WILL AND GRACE, Grace's mom, a star of her local community theater, was in rehearsal for "The Music Woman." God, I miss Debbie Reynolds. | |
