I think some of you people are missing the point... I keep seeing pretty famous names on here... go with Kate Micucci. She's about as Indie as it gets. Her biggest claim to fame was a guest spot on Scrubs. She's a great singer and hilarious.

Yes! I was thinking Kate Micucci. I think she has the chops.

I hadn't seen her before, but yeah. She would be fantastic!

She's not famous, but somebody has to say it: Jessica Allyn.

Seconded.

Alexa Vega keeps getting thrown up but the musical she was in was a movie. She wasn't running around on stage. No editing on the stage my friends.

Except that she was in a Broadway production of Hairspray

i believe zooey deschanel would be perfect, but she's quite famous. i was also thinking feist. karen o?

i'm having a hard time thinking of anybody else.

[The Angel Raliel]

Paloma faith..... she has already admitted to loving your music on twitter and would be well up for it!

[Agonistes]

What about Zoe Boekbinder?

yep.

[Kenny Wisdom]

Lily Allen, obviously.

It's interesting that all the possible variants I had in my mind already appeared here.

I'm absolutely in love with Marina Diamandis's music and her image, still I think her voice would not suit Sally character, though it doesn't mean I don't like it, I love it, love it!
Paloma Faith is also a great option, her singing voice is right-alright for the character and she has that awesome vintage style that is hard to beat, in my opinion.
And someone named Kate Micucci - oh yes!! doubled.

Just HAD to join this forum to get in on this discussion, it may be an unconventional option but have you heard of Lisa Hannigan, she's kinda famous but not overly so, here's a link.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aPe--y2ZB4

also I would say Camille O'Sullivan, because her personality when performing would be excellent for the Sally Bowles character, but then again I think she's in her thirties and may be too old for what you are looking for, but you should definitely check out Lisa:-)

Alan Cumming.

(yes I know he's 45 and has a penis. I don't care.. much.)

ASK LANCE! ASK LANCE!

if Alan is unavailable (damn them) or unwilling (damn him) then I'd suggest.. Dee Plume from Robots In Disguise. https://twitter.com/dee__plume (Amanda, if you don't know her band, you might recognise her from the Mighty Boosh.. she had various cameos in that. She's rad.)

mademoiselle k

[Bad Kitty]

oh.. has anyone said Nellie McKay yet?

She could totally be Sally.

she's in the right age range, she's got the chops, and did anyone see her in the Wallace Shawn version of 'The Threepenny Opera' a few years back (with Alan and Cyndi Lauper)? She played Polly Peachum.. and was (by all accounts) quite good.

reckon she'd be up for it too.. if she's not busy.

[Bad Kitty]

Oh my fuck... what about PEACHES?

what? too old? too.. Peaches?

How bout one of the Chicks On Speed? Melissa Logan has done theatre (musical and otherwise) in Germany...

[MelKilledAFP]

i'd actually be VERY surprised if you know this woman as  she's a local from Adelaide - Alli MacGregor.
extremely gifted voice former opera singer now has her own cabaret show and is a burlesque dancer also.
Massive personality I think would fit the role of sally quite well. (not sure how old she is.. might be too old..)

also for what it's worth, she was inspired by Amanda's ukelele version of creep to try it herself.  the result. zomg.

Meow Meow would be ideal for the part in my opinion
