Doesn't their life story just sing out to be a musical????

The possibilities are soooooooo all over the place. I would love to see their story musicalized:)))

and we know we have Antonio and Stamos around to play Arnaz and obviously Rachel York and Faith Prince on the Lucille Ball roster:))

For those of you who remember Broadway.com, this idea was already musicalized by the erstwhile FaithPrinceFan/Andrew/Tootie

Kerry would make an interesting Lucy. After all, she is, according to Stephen DeRosa, "Debra Messing and Lucille Ball combined."

Thank you! VIVA O'MALLEY!

Just thought you'd like to know that the welcome message on my cell phone reads: "I love musicals...VIVA OMALLEY!" It's great. I'm never changing my welcome message. Ever. Because let's face it, that's just about as welcoming as you can get.

Maybe they could just take episodes from "I Love Lucy," especially The Chocolate Factory, Lucy Makes A Commercial, and An Italian movie and blend them all into a story with songs. This would kind of be like Mamma Mia! with putting songs together, but instead, episodes. Any other good episodes??

Here's a novel idea... how 'bout Alice Ripley as Lucille Ball?

I love the commercial episode, that's the Vitameatavegamin one, correct? It's hysterical. I really wish I had it on tape.

My mom does. There is a video with all 3 of those episodes.
