I'd love it if Josh would do it. Though, who knows when his album going to happen... He's hoping spring, so if it revived next fall, he could possibly do it...
The thing with Josh is, in the concert he was really wooden in terms of his acting. He sounded gorgeous though.
I'd be up for a Chess revival, preferably starring Adam Pascal...although that would mean we might not get to see him singing What You Own with a cane and gray hair.
I know! And granted they changed it as well the second time around... If you listen to the 2003/4 performance, its a bit faster and there are mistakes all around.
Josh also grew a ton as an artist from 04 to now... I saw him in concert in 04 and he was quite stiff and extremely shy with the audience. Now? He jokes, plays around, and is just so much more relaxed on tour. He's got a fantastic sense of humor and he shows it off now.
I know! I was just thinking about that when you said 8 years, lol. You think ... oh my god. I was in high school. We used to listen to his songs the minute we stepped into the choir room and had a poster of him in the room. We were such fangirls.
You're lucky you had real life friends who liked him... My friends thought he was talented just weren't into his music. My parents liked him and tolerated my fangirling (I mean they drive me 8 hours to see him :)). I do miss the old forum though... when it was like 100 members... then the 2002 Olympics happened. And then I left. To many tweens who only cared about how Hot josh was...
See I thought Julia acted better but I can not stand her ibrato or most of her range. It drives me up a wall. I'd rather listen to Idina sing in general than Julia.
So excited for this, if it happens, I may just have to fly over the damn pond AGAIN to see the effing thing. *sigh* Why do you do this to me, Broadway?
But... are they allowed to do the UK version in American? Cause... I really don't like the cracky insanity they did to the story in the US. I mean, it's all good fun, but for an actual Broadway production? I love me some ORIGINAL story.
On actors...I love Adam. Vocally he was better in 03 than 08, but acting he was better in 08 than 03. I wouldn't mind if he played the part, but it would be great if they found someone NEW

My opinions on Adam Pascal in Chess are dueling +++ and ---, so it all evens out to '...' or something.
I like Idina Menzel but I hope she's not in it. She sucked and blew.

Out of the two concert versions, I only liked Sutton... I can stand Kerry if necessary but Idina and Julia made them horrid...
