TOD 2: My second choice would be a revival of Cole Porter and Moss Hart's Jubilee about a royal family deserting their royal duties. I don't know whom to cast because I don't know of anybody nearly as funny or imperious as Mary Boland to play the queen. Her every move and line in "The Women" makes me howl. Bill Irwin might made a good King.
Just have someone wonderful as Rebecca Luker to sing songs as delicious "Begin the Beguine" and "Why Shouldn't I?" It would be hard because, as we've discussed in the past, too many of today's singers don't trust the music. Can you imagine how horrible an "American Idol" type would be if handed "Just One of Those Things"? Or if he had to sing with someone else on a ditty like "A Picture of Me Without You"?
