Kerry Butler in "You're the One That I Want"?

Posted: 12/5/06 at 7:10pm

I was watching the preview for "You're the One That I Want" and I saw this girl who looked remarkably like Kerry Butler. It's uncanny.

Does anyone know if she auditioned for the show?

I don't think you were allowed to have been in a Broadway show.

Actually, I believe they did have Equity auditions.

Um the correct response would be, have you ever SEEN Kerry Butler?! That looks nothing like her for about 10 different reasons.

1. She looks way too young to be Kerry Butler.

2. Butler's been on daytime soaps and Broadway shows, I doubt she'd got to a big cattle call like this.

Nathan Lane said he auditioned for Danny but they said he just didn't have what it takes to be a broadway star.

"I heard Patti Lupone was going to be in it!"
Would she have been like the Paula Abdul of the show, but meaner?

The first auditions were for Equity.

The cattle call auditions were held after these, so anyone had the chance.

Kathleen Marshall is one of the judges.

Nope...that doesn't even resemble the young or old Kerry Butler.

I do not think Kerry would need to go on a tv show to get in this show. I don't even see her as a Sandy. I see more of a Frenchy or Marty.

On http://kerrybutler.net/jfflsohchoice.htm, kerry has an interview with Dana Tyler. In the middle of it she talks about how the role came easy to her. she looks exactly like frenchy in grease

i'm not to sure about this show still. i guess we'll see if there's anyone good in NYC.

Same here. Anyone else, and this show might have been a little more tolerable.

I didn't even know who Billy Bush is. Am I supposed to hate him, too? Does he write lyrics for Wildhorn musicals, or something?

I see the resemblance, but it's absolutely not her.

I think I'd rather see Billy Bush host the show than Ryan Seacrest.
