Weekend Poll Top Three: Fans Dream Cast Joan Rivers as Wicked's Madame Morrible & More

Legendary funny lady Joan Rivers is still at the top of her game! The recent Show People guest is courting all sorts of juicy controversy this week for her sharp tongue and trademark jabs at celebrities (Sorry, Anne Hathaway!) Rivers herself is a die-hard theater fan (not to mention a Tony nominee!), so Broadway.com dreamed up some current roles Rivers could take over for her potential return to Broadway. Fans voted, and here are the top three results!

1. Madame Morrible in Wicked - 27%
Rivers should have no problem taking on Wicked's mysterious headmistress Madame Morrible. An ambitious woman who takes a deliciously catastrophic dive off the deep end, Morrible is the perfect role for the acerbic Rivers to sink her teeth into. Thank goodness, indeed!


2. Miss Hannigan in Annie - 26%
The Emmy winner would definitely make fans laugh as the tyrannical, alcoholic orphanage caretaker who despises all those little girls. As Miss Hannigan, Rivers would shine "like the top of the Chrysler building!"


3. Barry Manilow in Barry Manilow on Broadway - 18%
Could it be magic? Rivers could seamlessly pop into the shoes of her good friend and Grammy-winning music legend Barry Manilow. The incomparable Rivers taking on the signature songs of the unrivaled Manilow? Fans would bask in musical excitement!

Thanks for voting!
