WTF? Young Frankenstein says no to Chloris Leachman via letter. |
| June 7th, 2007 under Broadway, Cloris Leachman. [ Comments: none ]

|  Screw the Broadway version of Young Frankenstein. They sent a letter telling to extremely talented Chloris Leachmen that her services were no longer need for the production according to Army Archerd. A bloody letter to someone like Chloris Leachman, how wrong is that? The stupid director says she wants to keep the film and the Broadway musical separate, WTF? Mel Brooks had already told her he wanted back and said, "Cloris is going to steal the show — all she has to do is walk on the stage — she'll bring the house down." Seriously one person, and that one person being Chloris Leachman, will not make a difference. I say boycott this show because it is already sounding like a real bomb.
If you want to save Chloris Leachmen, you can visit the Save Frau Blucher website and send nuts! Just joking about the nuts, but they do work!
Chloris Leachman good, Young Frankenstein the Musical bad.

According to Broadway.com Equus will end it's West End Run on June 9th, but will reopen on Broadway Spring of 2008 with both Daniel Radcliffe and Rachel Griffiths. You know this show will nearly be sold out before its opening night. Heck even I want to see it.

Playbill is reporting that Joey Lawrence will be joining the Broadway cast of Chicago as Billy Flynn on May 4th. He will be staying with the production until June 17th. Two days after he leaves the show Lisa Rinna and her husband Harry Hamlin, who was on DWTS with Joey, will be joining the show. Hamlin will also be playing Billy Flynn and Rinna will be playing Roxie Hart. There are also rumors that Clyde "The Glide" Drexler will be taking over the role of Billy Flynn after Hamlin…just joking!
BTW I think Joey will be great in Chicago.

Grease You’re The One We Don’t Want |

Remember that show on NBC, Grease You're The One That We Want where we picked who would play Danny and Sandy on Broadway? Well the show's producer thought that no matter who won people would want to go to the show, so they pre-sold tickets before the winners were announced. So what happens when the people you want to win, don't? Well the day after the finale TicketMaster was inundated with people wanting their money back according to The New York Post. "There was a bit of a frenzy because a lot of people wanted Austin and Ashley to win," says a source. "They wanted their money back." In fact they had to add people to help with phones because there were so many people wanting their money back. Also the Broadway community is not in love with how the show was cast. They are also over one hit wonder Jim Jacobs who wrote Grease because they thought he came off pompous.

Say It Ain’t So, A Goonies Musical. |
| March 28th, 2007 under Broadway, Stupid Sequels/Remakes. [ Comments: none ]

Entertainment Weekly recently sat down with Richard Donner who told them that he is working with Stephen Spielberg on a musical version of Goonies.'"Steven and I have discussed it, and it's something that I'm fairly passionate about right now," And to rub more salt in the wound Donner confirms there is no sequel in the works, ''We never had a script,'' Donner explains. ''We tried a couple of times and every time we did, we realized, 'What are we doing?'''
I really wish Broadway would stop turning movies into musicals because it is beyond depressing to me. It is bad enough that movies are not original anymore, why does Broadway have to follow that trend too.
