If Harold Hecuba Returned..... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

lm · 12-28-2007, 04:49 PM

We all know what a great job the castaways did with "Hamlet." If Harold Hecuba returned and they decided to do another musical (of course, after the Skipper had to be restrained from beating up Hecuba and so forth)--a musical version of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," how do you think they would cast it? Note: we only have 7 castaways and there are lots of roles in R and J, so, don't worry about the discrepancy--just go for who would suit the roles the best--some roles will inevitably be left out.

Gilligan: Romeo
Mary Ann: Juliet
Skipper: Montague
Mr. and Mrs. Howell: The Capulets
Ginger: Nurse
Professor: Mercutio or Tybalt............or both at the same time.

Sounds pretty good to me....although, you can bet Ginger would have been pissed, not being picked for Juliette!

Harold Hecuba · 12-30-2007, 04:50 PM

Do you mean Ginger or Tina? ; )

Mikado · 12-30-2007, 05:08 PM

Ginger, its the characters that matter here

Harold Hecuba · 12-30-2007, 06:40 PM

Hmmmm, I think Ginger would recognize that the Nurse is the better role whereas Tina would be pissed that it wasn't the starring role.

And BTW, since I AM Harold Hecuba I ought to know.

Mikado · 12-30-2007, 09:10 PM

ummmmmm, right, and i'm the Emporer of Japan!

(Which is what Mikado means)

Harold Hecuba · 12-30-2007, 11:28 PM

So who's your daughter in law elect?

(Oh such literary references on the ole' GI board today)

It's a line from 'The Mikado'. Carry on.

Mikado · 12-31-2007, 12:40 PM

Ive never seen the Mikado, i took this name because i'm heavily into real Japanese culture

Arigatou gozaimashi ta! Watashi ha Mikado desu!

Vito Scotti couldn't have said it better.

I think King Lear would work better.

King Lear - The Skipper
The Fool - Gilligan
Goneril - Mrs Howell
Regan - Ginger
Cordelia - Mary Ann
Gonerils Husband - Mr Howell
Regans Husband - The Professor

Good casting kid but R&J was a bigger hit so we should go with that.

(and when HH does this......you do this.)
