Any news on LEGALLY BLONDE/YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN?

It's been a while since I've heard any news about these two upcoming shows.

I did hear that Laura Bell Bundy was going to be the next actress to portray Elle Woods in the workshop of the show. And now that Jerry Mitchell is no longer part of the HAIRSPRAY movie, I would assume that this is now at the top of his pile. Did the recent workshop happen?

Same for Mel Brooks. I more than understand that the recent death of his wife would set back his project. But, the most recent news I read on this project is that Brooks and Meehan had recently completed the first act of the show. I haven't heard anything about workshops or anything like that...besides the fact that Kristin Chenoweth is being sought for Madeline Kahn's role. I'm guessing THE PRODUCERS movie was halting the project for Brooks.

Has anyone heard recent news about either of these shows?

Great...and useful information?

---

Mel is in the process of wooing Matthew Broderick and Kristin Chenoweth for Young 'Fronk-en-steen.'

Personally...I think Robin Williams would make a great Doctor Frankenstein.

Getting him to sign a year-long contract...impossible.

"Young Frankenstein" is one of my favorite movies. Very excited at the possibility of it becoming a stage show.

Matthew Broderick as the lead? God, I hope not. He's totally wrong for that role.

Now see... I heard that they wanted Christin for Legally Blond. She's a little old... I'm just sayin'.

---

Did you see him at the Emmys? He's 900 years old.

oh my God......Chenowith as Inga.........perfect


Robin Williams, WAY too old for Dr. Frankenstein......and WAY too obnoxious

'All you men are the same.
Seven or eight quick ones,
And it's off for a night with the boys'

'Abby someone.
Abby someone?
Yes, Abby Normal'

'Taffeta, Darling'
Taffeta, Sweetheart.
No, the dress, it's taffeta'

'My what GORGEOUS knockers!
Zank You Her Doktor!'




My favorite movie of all time

I remember hearing/reading that Mel said he would love to have Roger Bart as Igor. He would be wonderful!
