That would be so much better. Though small in plot, production values and quantity of actors, this show has some glorious tunes and the book is FUNNY. Loved it the first time with Robert Klein and Lucie Arnez.

That is a really good idea! I saw the Actors Fund benefit last year, and I can see the two of them really doing well in those roles.

Based on SJP's wan, weak singing on the Once Upon A Mattress CD, I can't even imagine her beginning to sell the those great Hamlisch songs. Sorry to say.

SJP's singing voice is certainly not great, plus she was miscast in MATTRESS, but I wouldn't describe her singing as notably wan or weak. I imagine, though of course I don't know for sure, that she would probably do a fine job with the TPOS songs, noting that several of the performers who have played the role were/are not known primarily as singers with exceptional voices -- for example, Stockard Channing and Diana Canova.
