New York Times Critic Casts Lady Gaga on Broadway

Not that Gaga needs the work. And, admittedly, Brantley finds her a bit too young to play everyone's favorite madcap relative. But what about parts for the under-employed Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen?

The critic can easily picture Lohan in the Marilyn Monroe role in Finishing the Picture, a 2004 drama by Monroe's one-time husband, Death of a Salesman playwright Arthur Miller, about the making of the movie The Misfits (Monroe's last, from a script by Miller).

Brantley says that if Lohan can't handle eight performances a week, then Paris Hilton could sub for her at matinees.

Sheen, meanwhile, would be perfectly cast in British playwright John Osborne's Look Back in Anger, according to Brantley – if the production of the "Angry Young Man" drama took place 10 or 15 years ago. Surely the marquee would say it all.
