it makes more sense. I'm not saying that sexual harassment has really disappeared from the work place and that bosses are not jerks anymore, mind you, but the power of women in their jobs and their relastionships to their male counterparts probably isn't the same as it was nearly 30 years ago, thank God!

Um it's a reading, why is that newsworthy?

Because it's a reading for a potential Broadway show, and this is a Broadway board.

Bebe Neuwirth for Lily Tomlin's role? Just a thought...

(never happen, I know... just popped in my head)

I am glad there is any news at all about this show. There is no doubt in my mind that the show will happen. If Dolly wants it, Dolly gets it. She's got the cash herself to back the entire production.

I am so excited. Dolly loves to dabble in different mediums. I can't wait.

GOOD FOR MEGAN! Thrilled that this talent is attached to such promising projects.

As for the Lily Tomlin role: What about Sutton?

I was hesitant about this show. But I think this is the sort of movie that should be adapted, not some popular comedy. A movie with a message.

I could see Julia Murney in Lily Tomlin's role.

They are gonna need at least one star for one of the three leads though, so, get your stunt casting hats on and think!

Anything with Dolly's name attached to it doesn't need stunt-casting.

"^ I hope they keep it in its original setting.

The article states that they intend to keep the show set in 1980."

Okay, well, I'm sorry I overlooked that. And I was merely replying to the above post, anyways.

I like the idea of Julia Murney in the Lily Tomlin role...

Posted: 1/10/07 at 6:23pm

All three of those suggestions sound good. I especially love the Julia Murney idea, though.

I honestly think Yankee tipped off the WHOLE Broadway internet community on this. I think that's how Playbill.com got their information.
