Your Dream Cast

[VIETgrlTerifa]

I was bored and thought of another activity that we can participate in while we're in off-season limbo.

You take you a musical (Broadway, movie, or otherwise)...don't worry, the musicals don't have to actually be able to perform on the ice, and you assign a skater to a part think they would be perfect for.

I'll start:

Gypsy

Rose....(this was a hard one because she is the star of the show) Elizabeth Manley
Louise/Gypsy "Rose" Lee....Michelle Kwan
"Dainty" June...Sasha Cohen
Herbie...Kurt Browning
Baby Louise...Mao Asada
Baby June...Kimmie Meissner
Uncle Jocko...Dan Hollander
Pop....Toller Cranston
Mr. Goldstone...Dick Button
Tulsa...Stephane Lambiel
Tessie Tura...Kristi Yamaguchi
Mazeppa...Katarina Witt
Electra...Nicole Bobek

Nice cast! I can totally see that, but I think Josee is too old to play Leisl, but I would pick her for Maria over Shae Lynn. And I can't see Frank Carroll as Max.

[IDLERACER]

Peter Pan - Oksana Baiul
Wendy - Tara Lipinski
Her Two Brothers - Johnny Weir & Evan Lysacek
The Three Murmaids - Sarah, Michelle & Irina
Captain Hook - Alexei Urmanov
Smee - Scott Hamilton
Tinkerbell - Rudy Galindo
The Crocodile - Tonya Harding

Yeah, I know, this is the Disney version and not the T.V. version, but I can't remember any of the extra characters in that. :\ Somebody ought to take a crack at Westside Story. Timothy Goebel in the Russ Tamblyn role would be a given, but you'd probably have to use either Asians or Russians for all the Puerto Rican parts.

[Kasey]

I am realizing how uncultured I am....I have no clue about the cast in Broadway shows!!!!

Kasey

[Lcp88]

Moulin Rouge (Not exactly Broadway, but it works )

I tried to think of a pair that already had a lot of off ice chemistry for the roles of Satine and Christian, and so I figured Babilonia (sp) and Garder, with the understudies being either Punsalan and Swallow or Grishuk and Platov (granted those two are still speaking to each other.)
Toulouse - Lautrec........................................... .Scott Hamilton
Other 3 (in no particular order)...................Rudy Galindo, Paul Wylie, Brian Boitano
Harold Zigelger.......................................... ......Kurt Browning
The Duke.............................................. ..........Alexei Yagudin
Lead Can-Can Dancers.......................................Jenn y Kirk, Michelle Kwan

Laura

Laura

Nice cast, Laura. but I would put Shen and Zhao as a possible Satine and Christian duo.

Nah. Both Christian and Satine have to be able to both handle humor and upbeat numbers, like in Spectacular, Spectacular, and S/Z can't do either.

[Hermione_Granger]

I know this is not a Broadway play, but the Harry Potter
movies are my favorite.
If any of the skaters could play characters in the
Harry Potter movies, this would be my cast:

Harry Potter - Alexei Yagudin
Hermione Granger - Michelle Kwan or Jenny Kirk
Ron Weasley - Alexander Abt
The Weasley Twins - Jordan Brauninger & Ben Agosto
Dumbledore - Dick Button
Professor McGonagal - Peggy Fleming
Professor Snape - Ilia Averbukh or Sergei Sakhnovsky
Professor Lockhart - Peter Tchernyshev (sp ?)
Pansy Parkinson - Sasha Cohen
Voldemort - Octavio Cinquanta (ISU Pres.)
