What about Johnny Vegas as Edna and Matt Lucas as Tracy .... and yes, I know Tracy is not normally played by a man, but why not?

i know niether is nessec a musical theatre actress (don't shoot me down straight away tho), although presumably Imrie sang in "Acorn Antiques TM", but i always saw her as the English actress I'd most like to see as Mrs Pingleton (is she even in the musical? I am an absolute fanatic when it comes to the film, but almost a complete virgin as regards the musical), and Joanna Lumley as Amber's mum.

Although about 5 mins ago, Julia Davis (*blushes*, also not a WE performer, but did sing a starring role in the BBC 'rock opera' nativity "AD/BC") occurred to me as an interesting idea. Tho think she might be expecting twins this autumn...
