Goofy: We're thinking Bob Saget. Has experience on Broadway. Good at the often melodramatic single dad, yet has that comic edge. Hopefully he can moonwalk.
Max: We have no idea who this should be. Ideas have been thrown around: one of the Jonas brothers (although their cockiness might get in the way of creative sparks flying throughout the rehearsal process), Robin DeJesus, or Corbin Bleu. But serious help is needed on this one.
Roxeanne: Cassie S. from TV's Legally Blonde Search. She's already worn dog-like bows in her hair! It's perfect.
PJ: This one is also up in the air. If we want to splurge for a movie star, we can bring in Jonah Hill, whom we love. But can he sing?
Pete: Our pick? George Wendt. Broadway experience, hilarious, and seems like a pleasure to work with.
Powerline: We're thinking Corey Reynolds. Yeah, Richmond stars!
Lester: Okay, we know that in the movie, this part is played by a robotic possum. But for the B-way show, we're turning this into a real part. A huge, human part. As in, potential Tony nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Our thoughts: Will Forte of SNL. LOVE him.
Robert 'Bobby' Zimmeruski: John Gallagher Jr. No question. He's good at playing the quirky, sort of outcast guy. And can't you hear him going, "CHEDDA"?
Principal Mazur: Um, hello. We are bringing back THE Wallace Shawn to reprise his role as the strict authority figure. He did such a wonderful job in the movie- let's move him to Broadway!
And finally, Lisa Landry will be cast in various roles in the musical. Thank you, Mr. or Mrs. Anonymous for the wonderful suggestion.
Any more suggestions? Let us know! And if you haven't watched this movie yet, why did you read this post? But better yet, WHY haven't you watched this movie? Get on it! If the fabulous Robyn O'Neill is planning on taking time out of HER busy schedule to watch it with us, then what are you waiting for?
And we promise, real theatre (although, come on, A Goofy Musical IS real theatre) will be talked about soon!
