Does he? Tell that to Michelle Yeoh, Marissa Bode, and Melissa Barrera."

I would hardly consider Madame Morrible a real singing role. Does she even have more than 16 bars per act? I wouldn't consider most of those who have played her to be particularly great singers, and the role does not require it.

I agree that he should do Miss Saigon. Joseph is a wonderful school show, a bible story cartoon musical with off-Broadway 60s styled anachronisms. I don't think Joseph will make a great film. I fear it will be like the movie of Cats ....

I don’t know how long I can stay patient. In The Heights and Wicked gave me faith in Chu.

^ In my personal defense, the Donny Osmond proshot was good. But doesn’t do the full seeing the show live and in person experience justice. Maybe the new movie will be a slight bit enjoyable in spite of all that. But they need real sone genuine vocalists for the cast.

I don't care who he casts- there's no reason to do this movie.
