I liked these ideas

Zooey Deschanel
Kate Micucci
Lauren Ambrose

I was thinking Missy Higgins. She has acted in Bran Nue Dae... But I wouldn't know whether or not she is interested in stage

Alanis Morissette but she might be too old. I've been watching her in Scrub lately! 

Serena Ryder?

Kaki King?

[stallionbreaker]

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

Seconded. 

Yes!

Boston-specific, but since AFP opened the door to possible drag/trans choices, what about Ryan Landry (of Ryan Landry and the Gold Dust Orphans)?  He'd be terrific.

[overratedtoejam]

Oh my fuck... what about PEACHES?

what? too old? too.. Peaches?

i was thinking peaches too, but she's above the age limit :'(

[buttonwillow]

Amanda from the Ditty Bops. She would be perfect, perfect, perfect as she is gorgeous, very talented, and into whimsical theatrical silliness and would  be very good at it.

And she looks awesome in a bob.

Shara Worden of the band My Brightest Diamond. 

She has an amazing and strong voice. He are two shots from her guest spots on the last Decemberists tour:

*edit: I see that Shara has already been suggested twice since I started writing this! In that case, consider this my agreement with those above!

It's been a while since I listened to MBD but this is a good suggestion.

I love Zooey to death but she might have some of the same issues as Leslie Feist.

I second Shara Worden or Marina Diamandas all the way.

Natasha Khan (Bat for Lashes) would be pretty awesome as well.

Ida Maria (a bit upbeat), Laura Marling (a bit light folksy), Lykke Li, Mirah, Sarah Blasko (Australian)er.... MEOW MEOW --> other possibilities to throw out there

Forgive me but what issues would zooey have?

The "issue" being potentially too famous.
I'd say it's even moreso the case with Zooey.

[indeciSEAN]

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.)

A: I can get you in touch with Dee if that's something you're interested in.

[Hayley Fiasco!]

Alanis Morissette but she might be too old. I've been watching her in Scrub lately! 

Alanis initially came to mind for me too because she is a great singer I know she's into acting - TV, film and even stage - but she's exactly 35 years old and huge (popularity wise) so not the best fit.



Nellie McKay would be rad.

But I suppose I should view the movie/play some time first before I throw my two cents around

[Mockery]

Oh gosh, that's my dream role but I won't suggest myself. That's just uncool.

What about Zoe Birkbinder of Vermillion Lies?

[Paul Jon]

^^
I thought about writing Camille O'Sullivan but then didn't.

Okay, I will instead.

[CeeGBee]

No one comes to mind that someone hasn't already mentioned....

Shara Worden would probably be good, Zooey Deschanel could probably do remarkable
things with the part (if you can get her).....

Lily Allen, obviously.

I think KW may have been kidding, but given that the character is a little girl putting on one
giant front, L.A. could be a good choice if she could get into the character.  Heck, she almost
is the character already....

....and last but NEVER least, if you don't feel like you need a pre-established marquee name,
Jessica Allyn would indeed be a great call.

Alanis Morissette but she might be too old. I've been watching her in scrub lately! 

Alanis initially came to mind for me too because she is a great singer I know she's into acting - TV, film and even stage - but she's exactly 35 years old and huge (popularity wise) so not the best fit.

Ah yes, totally didn't think of how huge she is. She just isn't as big in Oz anymore as she hasn't toured here since 1999! I'm sure if she came back she'd sell out, I just felt like people forgot about her, but she is still active in the northern hemisphere.

I also just noticed I wrote scrubs when I meant to write weeds...


Another suggestion

Amber Benson, I don't know her age but I think early 30's. She has an AMAZING voice and can definitely act. She has done TV - Buffy/Supernatural etc, Stage - Rocky Horror Picture Show etc, and Film including directing.

[Agonistes]

Oh gosh, that's my dream role but I won't suggest myself. That's just uncool.

What about Zoe Birkbinder of Vermillion Lies?

i support this.

[Bad Kitty]

Meow Meow would be ideal for the part in my opinion

ah, now this is the damn truth.
