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. :-)

Otherwise, she'd be a librarion.

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.
