I love the movie!

You didn't know there was a musical? It stars Kerry Butler in Christina Ricci's part. It's supposed to be pretty good. Hopefully coming to Broadway next year or so?

It's changed quite a bit with new songs not even heard at the staged reading a little while back. Looking forward to this when it hits the stage here in NYC

Not as of yet. It has only been professionally performed in San Francisco. (The World Premiere). Next up is NYC where I am sure it will get recorded...

I agree, BW86. I only know Lisa Kudrow from "Mad About You" and "Friends" and in THE OPPOSITE OF SEX she's displaying dramatic abilities I find simply AMAZING...

Karen Ziemba played the Kudrow part in the musical. Sounds like a good fit!

In the musical, Ms. Ziemba (wonderfully) played Lucia. Kerry Butler was DeDe. David Burtka was Matt and Jeff McCarthy was Bill.

The musical had a successful run in San Francisco and has a reading in Manhattan in January. It will probably land on Broadway in the 2005-06 season. Let's hope!

You can see a clip from the show on Kerry Butler's website.

A lot of people think that Lisa Kudrow should have gotten an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress for that movie....
