CASTING CHOICES
Benedick-Gilbert Gottfried
Gottfried would make an excellent choice for Benedick do to his looks because he has a comedic aura around him. His voice would make for excellent comedic relief for when he trades insults with Beatrice. His background as a voice actor will also help him for his speeches and witty insults.
Beatrice-Amy Schumer
Schumer would make a good choice to go along with Gottfried for the comedic relief. She would make a good Beatrice due to her attitude about men and marriage. She would also make a good Beatrice do to her comedic insults and jokes.
Don Pedro-Arnold Schwarzenegger
Arnold Schwarzenegger would make the ideal Don Pedro due the aura of command that follows him when he speaks. Plus, due to the fact Don Pedro was a soldier, Schwarzenegger has amassed the correct physic and experience for the part. He is also an excellent ladies man for wooing Hero for Claudio.

The first major plot points is when Claudio first meets and admits to wanting to woo Hero. This is importants because it is the stepping stone for the rest of the play. Also, it provides a way to explain each character and their motives.

Why this song?
I believe this song is the one true embodiment for the essence of Much Ado About Nothing. The quote, "And he tries... Oh my gosh do I try! I try all the time, in this institution....." is a good explanation for Claudio's shyness when it comes to finding a way to woo Hero. Also," Don't cry out loud! Just keep inside... And learn how to hide, your feelings....." is a good representation of Benedict hiding his feelings for Beatrice. Another good quote from the song is," MYEH!" This perfectly represents Don John's reaction when he learns how successfully his plan worked.
