'Designing Women' on Broadway? — Page 2

DELTA BURKE IS AN APE

huh?

OMG how HOT would that be?

Lillias White as MOMMA
Frenchie Davis as SHIRLEY

Hey! How about giving a part to poor Jennifer Holliday? Everyone is yapping about how she deserves a job.

And Stephanie Mills could still pull off Dee.

It opened to mixed reviews. The word-of-mouth was incredible, which brought in the crowds. It opened at the Cort Theatre and though it was a limited engagement it kept extending and extending.

What made DESIGNING WOMAN: ON BROADWAY! special (and what made the show) was that the actresses ad-libbed quite a bit so even though they followed a solid script, each performance was never the same. Also, as they did for Hugh Jackman during his run in THE BOY FROM OZ -- in order to not exhaust the actresses, every few weeks they trimmed performances, which enabled the show to have it's entire run without any of the actresses ever missing a performance.

If they had any guts, the play would be about trying to create a play out of an old sitcom created by a once powerful writer and her brood of tabloided to death original cast.

There's an idea that has some meat. Raw meat, but hey.

Take off Designing, and you have a new The Women.
