There's unfortunately more great actresses than great parts for them. The article was a little too snide though.<br /><br />The thing about big-money adaption is they're bound almost to suck. With all the money behind them, any sort of risk-taking would be frowned upon by TPTB. They think audiences want to see the originals + songs, not re-invigorate the original with songs that re-work the dramatic structure and force you to pay attention and re-evaluate. And audiences don't exactly challenge these expectations. Maybe it's the Marxist in Ole Marsha, but money is about the worst enemy of art.<br /><br />And Valerie Harper is so funny, probably quite good as Tallulah.
