Seth McFarlane needs to hit Broadway

I agree! But he is having so much success with his shows on TV, do you think he'd consider coming to the Broadway stage?

---

Seth is a huge Broadway fanatic (think of all the references in his show: the Annie number, Kirk Cameron as Jean Valjean), and has repeatedly expressed interest in a Broadway version of Family Guy. I'd like to see him devote his time and energy to THAT instead of the embarrassing American Dad.

Come on, producers! That's a sure thing in this economy! Look how well Will Ferrell's show is doing! Here, I'll even cast it for you:

Peter Griffin: Seth MacFarlane/Oliver Platt
Lois Griffin: Alice Ripley
Stewie Griffin: David Hyde Pierce (uh doi)
Chris Griffin: Dan Fogler
Meg Griffin: Sarah Jane Everman
Brian Griffin: Craig Bierko
Cleveland Brown: Norm Lewis
Glenn Quagmire: John Lloyd Young
Joe Swanson: Eric Gunhus

Ooh, a Broadway version of Family Guy? I can't tell if that would be amazing or horrible... I'd see it either way!

I haven't caught Family Guy in the last few months... I need to make a TV watching schedule for myself. I never even catch 30 Rock when it's on!

I agree as well, Charleston... A full length feature musical special would be amazing. They could make fun of Broadway while honoring it ala Forbidden Broadway...

But yeah, Family Guy live wouldn't be nearly as great as the TV show unless they did a 39 Steps style show with Seth doing his usual characters...
(Do NOT take this seriously! Just kidding...)

What?! Yay!!

"MacFarlane, despite being 35 and looking like an average dude, possesses the musical inclinations of a septuagenarian drag queen. A significant percentage of Family Guy episodes feature extravagant Broadway-inspired song-and-dance numbers (because, really, why have the cartoon doctor tell his patient he has end-stage AIDS when a barbershop quintet can break the news via song?), and only some of them are sacrilegious or scatological. Among the features of his new contract with Fox is a Family Guy movie he imagines as "an old-style musical with dialogue" in the vein of The Sound of Music, a poster of which hangs above his desk. "We'd really be trying to capture, musically, that feel," says MacFarlane, whose father moonlighted as a folk singer. "Nothing today feels like it'll play 50 years from now, like Cole Porter or Rodgers and Hart." "

BRILLIANT

Seth McFarlane could do a brilliant one man show.

He would be breathtaking- so much talent, so much experience, so much potential material.

I one man show could definitely work. But could he pull off a one man musical? (He NEEDS to show off his voice.)

A full-length Family Guy movie musical would be AWESOME! At the very least, MacFarlane should put together a solo CD or release a soundtrack of all the the musical numbers from the show. He's got such a wonderful voice!
