HAIRSPRAY is next NBC Musical... — Page 22

Adding new songs to productions are pointless. And changing up the original script is always pointless. They said that harvey found a way to fit in ladies choice and new girl in town in the script so here's hoping that the songs from the broadway show that were cut in the movie are in this production. I heard that ariana wanted penny to be written the same way as she was in the broadway show.

All of this is subject to change, but as of three weeks ago, Ladies Choice and Come So Far (But Got So Far To Go) were the new songs incorporated from the movie. The New Girl In Town wasn't in. The New Girl in Town wasn't a new song for the movie. It was a song written but not used for the stage musical. Ladies Choice and Come So Far were written specifically for the movie. It is still based on the stage show. The only things from the movie are Ladies Choice and Come So Far. It Takes Two and Cooties were still in. :)

With the recent announcement of Rosie O'Donnell playing the Gym Teacher (a role featured in the Broadway show, but was absent from the film), I don't think it will be live version of the film.

Interesting. Yet if I posted something of similar insider information, or mostly anyone else for that matter, you'd question it left and right. You'd complain that we're sharing it. You'd demand vetting and verification!!! What a hypocritical fool. Get outta here, punta.

Would LOVE that. Ricki, Marissa and Nikki. Would also love to see Shannon Durig somehow. She was my favorite and had the most performances as Tracy.

My guess would be that they could sing it as they take their bows if they're doing that. Maybe after the bows to bring the show outside for a final encore.

Well they're pretty much doing everything FOX did with Grease. Outdoor filming, live audience, hiring the live television director...

Ooo I could see Marissa as Prudy too!

Thank you for that, Carlos.

NBC is pulling out all stops for this, appealing to such a wide audience. Jordan Fisher would be terrific. He was wonderful in Grease Live

lol thanks Carlos. I was thinking the same thing when he called you a punta (which I'm pretty sure is the word for point). like, i really did think it was Becca and hadn't heard that was a rumor which had been debunked. why is Liza's headband always so salty??
