Ewan and Megan (Karen in will and Grace if you don't recognise the name !!) have apparantly both signed up for the Donmar co-produced "Guys and Dolls".

It won't be on at the Donmar though, they are looking to probably go into the New London Theatre.

In that case, can you explain the appeal of Ewan McGregor to me? I really don't understand it.

Well, popcultureboy, he does have...a really weird smile. And I wanted to smack him during most of Big Fish because he always seemed like he was winking at the damn camera. Does that begin to explain why he's irresistable?

Nope, it merely confirms why I hate him, Plum. And why have they cast him in a musical? He can't sing, as his off key bellowing in Moulin Rouge will attest.

"you explain the appeal of Ewan McGregor to me? "

I love his voice.. and err his acting ability... err errr Okay I admit that I want to do obscene things with him everytime I see him.

I disagree with you, popcultureboy. I thought he was great in 'Moulin Rouge'. In fact, he's a great actor in general. He's not a singer, but he got through unscathed.

That's just my opinion. You could be wrong.

I don't see the hotness. And believe me, I have tried. And as for him being a great actor, I find him laughably bad in everything he does. And he can't do an accent to save his life, not even a Scottish one in Young Adam. It's painful to watch. I really don't understand!

I thought his singing was alright in Moulin Rouge, but who knows how much pitch correction went into that? I guess now we'll find out...

The answer on the pitch correction front is "not enough". It got to the point where I was thinking "if he turns up and bellows Your Song over the top of someone else's solo just one more time, so help me GOD!"

I think Ms. Mullally is a great choice and she is going to be so very funny. I wish I could see her. As for Ewan McGregor, I actually did like him in Moulin Rouge and thought that he voice and demeanor worked very well in that. I don't usually like him, however, and I just don't see him doing this role. But, as I have said before, everyone deserves a chance. You never know...he could surprise people. Does anyone know who else will star?

Megan Mullally would make a great Adelaide! I don't really think McGregor's right for Sky though--he has a nice voice, but he doesn't really have proper vocal technique, and Sky's supposed to be a legit baritone, not a pop tenor.

We may have been a bit premature in this announcement. Megan has had to decline the role due to her Will & Grace schedule.

Does anyone have a link to all this news? Anyone know the dates this should be happening? I'll be in London at the end of April and the end of May, and I'd give my left arm to see him OR her!

Who will the actors play? I can't see either of them in the two leads. I LOOVEE Ewan though. I loved him in Moulin Rouge. I think he'll do a great job. Megan Mullally (creative Spelling at its best) i'm not so sure about though.

You say 'stupid London' - but the way things are here, Guys and Dolls will be on TKTS every night from first preview and discounting from £50 --> £25 on mid-week performances.

Although actually, with Ewan McG and Megan M, it is likely to be a massive hit.
