Totally agree with you on his performances on Bojaxk. He was very funny and quite engaging in the 2 episodes. I also saw the production of A Christmas Story on stage and while I loved the show, I was not thrilled with Dan Lauria's narration or how he was used on stage. Wondering if Broderick's role will be strictly narration? I found having the narrator appear on stage was a bit distracting at times and would have preferred just hearing his voice.

Great idea. Pity Fox's track record with these things is so abysmal.

They did the disastrous Tyler Perry Passion Play as well. However, their Grease is still the best of these telecasts.

I’ll be honest, I totally forgot about that. Though, does that still count towards these live telecasts of Broadway musicals? Plus that wasn’t produced by Marc Platt who produced grease and will be producing a Christmas Story and Rent. So I think it’s safe to think they will turnout better than the passion play.

Can you give hints or pm who she is?

Rachel Bloom? Kristin Chenoweth? Caroline O'Connor?

Jane Krakowski or Rachel Bloom would get me to tune in (I'll automatically see anything either of them is in).

Then you'll definitely be tuning in

They just cast a kid in the ensemble on Monday - they'd been pinned for four weeks already, but they were trying to find their Ralph and I guess they did.

Whoever played georgie in IT should play Ralphies brother

I know Hairspray already had a trailer by August and then Seaweed and Inez were announced shortly after (and then added into any new promos afterwards) and the cast performed for the Thanksgiving Parade.

If I remember correctly, I think Grease had its first trailer out around October or November? But it was also aired end of January.

So happy about Jane, but Chris seems like a strange choice. Doesn't come off as the wacky dad character.
