Ugly Betty The Musical Coming Soon!
Michael Urie, who plays Marc on ABC's hit show Ugly Betty, recently told a British TV station that an Ugly Betty musical was in the works.
He said, “They do want to do an "Ugly Betty" musical, a full-on Broadway musical, but it’s all hush-hush. I think it would be great, and they should use the cast from the show. I think we would all do it, although we maybe don’t dance and sing as well as professional singers and dancers. I think it would be fun for us to do it for a while, and then they could get real people in. They definitely want to do an episode that is a musical one, but then they want to do a full stage show. I think it’s a great idea. It would definitely work.”
I don't understand why writers think it is a good idea to turn popular shows into musicals. It is more awkward to watch than entertaining, especially when the cast can't sing very well. At least in this cast they have Vanessa Williams to pull them through.
