Rocky the Broadway Musical |

|  The bad trend of turning movies into Broadway Musicals continues as Playbill reports that they are turning Rocky into a Broadway Musical.
A musical Rocky, now in development, will have a libretto by Tony Award winner Meehan (who penned the books to Annie, The Producers and Young Frankenstein) and songs by the Tony Award-winning team of lyricist Lynn Ahrens and composer Stephen Flaherty (Ragtime and the current Lincoln Center attraction, The Glorious Ones), the writer told Playbill.com columnist Harry Haun.
"It was made to be a musical," Meehan said. It's got all the elements."
I don't know about you, but when I saw Rocky I never saw musical. Maybe that is because I don't want to imagine how many different versions of Yo Adrian they can include in the Broadway production.
So is Sylvester Stallone OK with this?
"Sylvester Stallone won't be in it, but he's given us his blessing," Meehan said. "He and I sat and worked it out together. It's really, on some level, autobiographical. He was an actor nobody cared about. The whole thing is an analogy of his own life."
I wonder if they told him yet that he won't be starring in the show?
BTW I have to make this plea once again, please stop turning movies into Broadway shows.

Tori and Dean on Broadway in Chicago? |

Page Six is reporting that Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott's next job together will be on Broadway in Chicago. The couple will be the third married couple to do the show, the first was Michael C Hall and Amy Spanger, the second is the current couple Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin. I love watching these two in Tori and Dean: Inn Love, but no way you could pay me to see these two in Chicago. Can they sing? Can they dance? I seriously feel bad for all these actors who can sing, dance and act that are losing out on roles to Reality celebs.

The Little Mermaid is coming to Broadway in November, but before Ariel swims with the big fishes she is testing out the waters in Denver. If that picture is a glimpse what the show is going to be like, I can't wait to see the show.

Even though I am protesting this show because of what they did to Cloris Leachmen and the outrageous price of the tickets, after seeing these pictures I actually want to see it. I also have to admit I am having a hard time seeing Roger Bart capture Gene Wilder's essence and I am sorry it obvious from the picture no one ever can (or should) replace Marty Feldman. Young Frankenstein will begin previews on Broadway in less than two months.
