Patty & Emily
Comedy and Opinions from Two Broadway Fans!
Hey guys! I love your videos and podcast!! I myself have some dream casts I’d like to share:
Hocas Pocus: The Musical
Winnie: Carolee Carmello OR Patti LuPone
Mary: Mary Testa (Obviously)
Sarah: Annaleigh Ashford OR Laura Osnes (A part that is NOT a typical Laura role)
Max: Darek Klena
Alison: Lindsay Mendez (Let Klendez live on!)
Dani: Lilla Crawford (?)
Billy: Anyone Really
Thackery: A Julie Taymor Puppet
Music & Lyrics by Alan Menken
Book by Douglas Carter Beane
I know the casting might not be spot on age wise, but I think it could work.
Miss Congeniality: The Musical
Gracie Hart: Stephanie J. Block
Music & Lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe
I really don’t know who to cast as the others.
Also I found this on the YouTube awhile ago and I finally have people to share it with! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8LkUIKBIHc
Also could you give your thoughts on You Can’t Take It With You? I absolutely loved the current revival and was curious to hear your opinions.
Thanks for a great podcast! I look forward to it every Monday!
Oh! Also, what are your thoughts on The First Wives Club: The Musical? I live in Louisville and I am going to try to get to Chicago for it’s second Pre-Broadway tryout.

Thank you so much for making laugh for the last 3 years.If I ever had a Schmazie award for you two,it would be the Schmazie Award for Most Awesome Theatre Lovers on the Internet.I hope you two have a wonderful Spring and I hope to still see you two on YouTube when I’m 50.
Thanks,

Actually,Kate Baldwin is a little young to play Norma. Maybe a suggestion for the standby on your next podcast?
