Jerry Mitchell is directing and choreographing it. It will star Christian Borle.

thanks for the link...holy crap, i can't believe its all true. I mean, i loved the first movie---but movies into musicals, i guess it's time for broadway to appeal to the masses. i'm getting tickets just to see--who knows? maybe it'll be another wedding singer. entertaining, and delightfulll...but not really a "perfect" specimen of a musical---do you think that's where broadway is headed? movie stars, and musical versions of box-office hits?

Headed? Honey, we've been there for a while now. And it's quite harmful to Broadway indeed. See the song "An Original Musical" in [title of show] for further clarification.

way to go jimnysf --- you've managed to say absolutley nothing about the topic. Just the use of a word. Don't you have ANYTHING to say about broadway being just another tool of the movie business? how many broadway shows are actually "original"?

"imparticulars", I've already commented in several other threads about "Legally Blonde", "Wedding Singer", "High Fidelity", "Happy Days", "Cry Baby", just to name a few. I don't like the trend either.
