| I don't know what they wanted or intended, maybe they tried and no one would sign on who they could afford. But it's an incredible role, in a musical by the most acclaimed composer alive at the time, fresh off a nearly inconceivable number of Tony wins that decade, in a show that swept the Tonys and won it for Lansbury. And it's one of the most delicious roles in musicals. Challenging as it would be to take on, and to replace Lansbury... surely there were some names interested in it? I wonder. (And i'm not implying i am not glad theater actors got to do it in that production... but just because the production was so costly, it seems an obvious thing to do) |
