I'd be interested to see what Billy Joel comes up with. I wonder if he'll collaborate with Twyla Tharp again or not.

Also interesting from this is the ticket sales updated, though of course he's left out Gypsy.

"Movin' Out" - which kicked off the telecast - sold $350,000 worth of tickets the day after the show.

And in the past week, the show has posted average daily wraps of $250,000.

"Hairspray," which won the award for Best Musical, took in $550,000 and continues to rack up daily ticket sales of between $400,000 and $500,000.

Hairspray will become the next generations Grease.

I have no doubt about that. I am just having fun picturing the big football player-choir boy that I knew in High School playing Edna. LOL.

It's probably not such a stretch!
