Figure skater Michelle Kwan claims she was offered a part in a Broadway play.
Excerpt: "Still, other opportunities could sway Kwan from Turin. She has taken acting classes and received an offer to do a Broadway play."
I wonder which play it was? It was painful enough watching her "act" in Ice Princess. I hate to imagine what would have happened if she'd said yes! Her diction is awful!!!
Michelle Kwan offered Broadway
I haven't seen Ice Princess, but she doesn't have much of a personality in interviews, so I don't think a life in the theater is her calling.
Since it seems like everyone nowdays can get a role on Bway, where my role?

haha...exactly what i was thinking
this reminds me of the Forbidden Broadway piece in which the Weissler's offer any TV has-been a role in Grease...except that this is infinitely more frightening.
Michelle Kwan / Sonja Henning
Asian / Swedish
Ice Princess / Sun Valley Serenade
Bad diction / Swedish Accent
Olympic Silver/ Olympic Gold
Deductive Reasoning:
Michelle Kwan to appear on Broadway in Sun Valley Serenade
I'll take Yamaguchi over Kwan any day.
I guess I'll take any of them over the whiny personality-less Nancy Kerrigan.

She's being considered for WICKED: ON ICE in the role of Elphaba. They were thinking of going with Wickipades, but didn't think people would get the connection.
Well that's what I heard from a friend who has a cousin who has a next door neighbor who once dated a girl who knew someone on Broadway.
Actually, I heard that "Wickipades" is starring Tanya Harding as Elphaba and Nancy Kerrigan as Glinda.
I'll buy a ticket to that as long as Elphie whacks Glindy extra hard with a blunt instrument.
Brian Boytano has just been confirmed as Boq
Hey Rath...what happened to your icon. Did Jack murder Maureen? The pic is kinda creepy.
The original London cast of DAMN YANKEES (1955) starred an ice skating star named Belita. She was rather swiftly replaced by Elisabeth Seal.
What would Brian Boitano do? Pay-off some thug to drop a house on Nessarose (the knee-whacking didn't work, as she's already in a wheelchair), then make a sex tape during his honeymoon with Glinda.
How about Tonya Harding the Musical ? It is a lead pipe cinch to be a hit
