I saw her in Sound of Music. She was pleasing enough.

My favorite moment was towards the end of the show; The Von Trapps are trying to figure out how to get out of Austria.

The Capatain suggested they climb over the hills and

Osmond faces full out to the audience showing off her BOULDER sized breasts and says:

"The mountains! Those are my mountains"

I think I pee'd a little from laughing so hard.

FYI, the entire Osmond clan is scheduled to be on Oprah today.

I saw her in Sound of Music and I thought she was absolutely delightful in the role of Maria.

If she does, it won't be for a while being that she's going to be doing the Dancing With The Stars Tour.

Oprah also mentioned that Donny and Marie will have a comeback tour.

Who's taking care of her 80 kids?

I really hope First Wives Club makes it to Broadway with Marie! Wasn't there talk of Queen Latifah in the Goldie Hawn role or was that just a board rumor?

When I was watching Oprah with the Osmonds yesterday, I could only think about her as Velma Von Tussle. I completely agree with those who mentioned it!

Queen Latifah has stated in the press that she would never do Broadway due mostly in part to the 8 performances a week schedule. She stated this when repeatedly asked this question during the whole CHICAGO press/interviews period.

Richard Gere, who began his acting career on stage also stated he would never return to that rigorous performance schedule as did Barbra Streisand (on her INSIDE THE ACTOR'S STUDIO appearance) and Liza Minnelli (to Larry King).

BrodyFosse123, that's not entirely true.

Latifah said recently that doing a theatrical stage project is something she wants to do very much. She feels to embark on such a serious commitment without it being the perfect show and the perfect project would be wrong, and she credits her selectivity amongst what she's been offered so far to her reluctance to do Broadway.

EDIT:

Here is the quote I was referencing from an interview she gave to promote her new album:

You've been in a couple very well-received musicals recently, Hairspray and Chicago before that. Is doing Broadway musicals something that you are exploring?

"I would definitely be interested in doing something designed for me. It's a lot of work, though, and it takes a lot of dedication—I won't do Broadway and half do it. It's either I commit to it and I'm ready to do it, or I'm not going to do it all…You know, to do the same thing everyday, to do it 110% and make it special for every new audience that comes in there, it's gotta be the right project. And I don't take that lightly. I could have done Broadway years ago. I respect the people who can do it everyday and make it special, you know?"

Without much dissection of Latifah's recent quote -- she's simply saying "no, thank you".

[somethingwicked]

I disagree.

She simply wants to wait on the right project before embarking on a commitment she takes very seriously.

Why does that have to translate to her not being interested in doing theater?

Didn't she play Anna in THE KING AND I on Broadway during the last revival's run?
