| I think Hugh Jackman is the perfect Stone and he could, of course, headline pretty much any musical he wants. If he declined a film version, as others have posted, then my guess is he's not too interested in the property. Though they don't approach his celebrity status, Pasquale and Karl are also very good casting. Other actors, of varying degrees of fame, who would be interesting in the role: Chris Pine, Taye Diggs, James Marsden, Joshua Henry, Jabier Munoz, Ramin Karimloo, and maybe Will Chase. For Stine, McClure and Fontana are both great options. Josh Groban is a name who could nail it. Some other ideas: Norbert Leo Butz, Brian d'Arcy James, Alexander Gemignani, Bryce Pinkham, Miguel Cervantes, and Conrad Ricamora. Some idea for other roles--with the caveat that ages run the gamut because they sort of depend on who's cast as Stine and Stone... Buddy/Irwin: Christian Borle! Martin Short! Also Danny Burstein, Norbert Leo Butz, Roger Bart, and Steven Webber Oolie/Donna: Emily Skinner! Also Leslie Kritzer, Annaleigh Ashford (though she may now be too famous for a role of this size), Ann Harada, Leslie Margerhita, Sarah Stiles, Lindsay Mendez, Ashley Park, Krystina Alabado, and Jennifer Simard Alaura/Carla: Rachel York!!! (How cool would it be for her to be in a revival of this show?) Also Emily Skinner, Karen Olivo, Amber Iman, Carmen Cusack, Alice Ripley, Elizabeth Stanley, and Katrina Lenk Bobbi/Gabby: Ruthie Ann Miles! Also Phillipa Soo, Jessie Mueller, Denée Benton, Jen Collella, Adriane Lenox Mallory/Avril: Ashley de la Rosa, Taylor Louderman, someone we haven't yet heard of! |
