Some performances are inevitable. The actor is such a big star, and so perfectly suited to a classic role, that it's only a matter of time before the marriage of that thespian and that part happens and a production is born. Christopher Plummer does King Lear? But of course he does! Patti LuPone plays Mama Rose? What would be surprising is if she didn't.
