Idina on Pushing Daisies!

It has been rumored that Idina Menzel will be guest starring on 'Pushing Daisies' this season. It hasn't been confirmed yet, but it was only time until they paired Broadway's favorite witches back up.

If you (or anyone else) hears more about this please post! That'd be so exciting!

I think your phrase, "Broadway's favorite witches" is a bit debatable.

Everything's debatable

I love that show for having so many Broadway actors on it. Well, I guess it hasn't been "many" yet, but it is still more than most shows.

I'm suprised considering they didn't get along on Broadway.

The more Broadway stars on Pushing Daisies the better. Maybe they will have a fully musical episode?

I seriously doubt this will happen.

I wouldn't doubt a musical episode. Alot of the actors can sing and ABC is already planning some musical episodes for other shows. I'd love to see it happen!

I don't doubt a musical episode could happen..but Idina will not do the show.

Broadway actors on just PUSHING DAISIES?

You mean just on ABC Television, period! ABC shows are filled with Broadway actors -- most finding television success on an ABC series after years of being on a long string of short-lived TV shows.

Audra McDonald
TR Knight
Kristin Chenoweth
Chandra Wilson
Taye Diggs
Sara Ramirez

...I mean, the list is endless and this list is just from 2 shows alone.

Woof!

That's actually three shows, not two.
Add to the list:
Anna Friel
Lee Pace (off-Broadway)
Ellen Greene
Swoozie Kurtz
T.R Knight
Sandra Oh
Jennifer Westfeldt
Teri Hatcher
America Ferrara (off-Broadway)
Vanessa Williams
Victor Garber
Laura Benanti
Peter Krause
Jill Clayburgh

The list is interminable really...

TR and some ridiculously hot chick.

Oh, and I just can't see Idina doing the show. Although her hubby is on ABC. I guess we'll see.

And add Loretta Devine to your list.

Totally forgot about Loretta Devine. It is a pity that they killed off Kate Burton's character, she is insanely talented, and another Broadway veteran.
Menzel obviously has the ABC connection through Taye Diggs, it would be fun to see her in PUSHING DAISIES.

Idina was at Kate Walsh's birthday party last week. Idina did an arc on Kevin Hill with Taye. Maybe a Private Practice guest role could happen.

Kate Burton could do a musical as the ghost of dead mommy. On Grey's, anything is possible.

I would love it if Idina guest starred. I am already looking forward to a killer duet between Raul and Kristin (they are looking to be love interests, they both sing, you do the math!) I already almost wet myself when Kristin started singing "Hopelessly Devoted to You" two weeks ago! This is absolutely my favorite show, and I am excited that it got picked up for a full season!

ABC could save money and just buy an air raid siren instead of hiring Menzel.

Bwah.

How about hiring a random cheaper actress and a helium tank for Cheno?

I always find it suspect when a thread like this is started by someone who just joined the board. I take this information with a grain of salt.

It would be great to have a musical episode of Pusing Daisies with or without Idina Menzel on. Just to have Ellen Greene do a number

If this happens i'd be super stoked.. But I think Idina would rather star in Private Practice than Pushing Daises just cuz her and KC did not get along.. And plus her hubby is one Private Practice
