Sounds right up your street Daniel! I'm not sure how they'll able to recreate a lot of the visual elements but I think it could be very funny if done well |

Oh my GOD.
This has to happen. But I thought Chenoweth was going to be connected to Soapdish The Musical too, which is equally amazing.

I've been talking about this with my friend for years now and always thought it'll be a great musical.
Cheno is perfect for this. Especially with all the bad work she's had done on her face.
Would be interested to learn who they are considering for the writing team. Please, anyone but Marc Shaiman & Scott Wittman or Alan Manken.
Yorkey & Kitt and David Yazbek are great and can seriously chug out a tune.

Have you read the article on Playbill though?
"A spokesperson for Universal Theatrical Group confirmed there is no creative team—including a composer, book writer, or director—attached to the project at this time."

Not a role for Idina. She is no comedienne.

My first thought was Idina in the hope of getting a Chenzel reunion, but I think a agree, she's not great at comedy. Maybe Sutton Foster? Or Laura Benanti (she might not be old enough though. As long as Patti LuPone and Bernadette Peters stay far FAR away from it, I'll be happy

I like the idea of Laura.
Sutton is good, but she's a bit of a midwestern gal and doesn't have that touch of glamor that is necessary.
Benanti has that and she can do comedy very well. I also like the contrast between the tall and statuesque Benanti vs the tiny and compact Chenoweth.

I suppose Christine Ebersole is a little too old?

I was very impressed by Sheena Easton’s comedic chops in 42nd Street.

I'm gonna chuck Stephanie J Block and Kate Shindle in the ring too. They can both do comedy with glam and belting lungs 😉

So, I just looked back at my previous #receipts, and hasn't there been an announcement that Chenoweth was also involved a musical adaptation of Soapdish (that was supposed to try out at the Other Palace)..and somehow that fizzled out. emhm.

Yeah I was eagerly keeping an eye out for news on that too. It was looking possible around April/May time this year but all very quiet since then 😔 |

So it's looking even more remote! They could have attached Meryl & Goldie to it for all this announcement was worth. |

I’m still waiting for The Devil Wears Prada |

Shouldn’t this be in international? It's in the musical section because currently it is just a musical. It has no set venues or dates or anything yet.  |
