1. Funny Girl starring Lea Michele

John Gara/BuzzFeed

The most obvious show/casting combo possible, for anyone who knows anything about Glee and/or Michele's not-so-subtle real life passions.

2. Oliver starring One Direction

This is basically the British boy band's origin story, if you think about it.

3. Aida starring Kerry Washington

John Gara / BuzzFeed

The musical version of Olivia Pope's life. Amirite?

4. Mame starring Audra McDonald, Laura Benanti and Joe West

I mean.

8. Cats starring 'Lil Bub

The most meta musical of them all.

9. Mary Poppins starring Kelly Clarkson

Just a spoonful of sugar makes this casting seem perfect.

10. My Fair Lady starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Jennifer Lawrence

Justine Zwiebel / BuzzFeed

All of their roles up until now have led to these performances.

11. Guys & Dolls starring Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Billy Porter and Andrew Rannells

The best of both worlds (theater and pop) take on love and gambling.

12. Burlesque starring Cher and Christina Aguilera

The most obvious and necessary of them all.
