It's embarrassing how much of a target audience I am for this show. It looks so soapy and almost campy, but what can I say? I'm a sucker for Debra Messing, Broadway-related TV shows, etc. Sign me up. Disappointing that it won't premiere until midseason though.

The show sounds promising, but I don't see a plot that services a long run.

Seems like they could tell the whole story in about four episodes-

Since I despise Glee, I am looking so forward to this. Hopefully, it is more adult oriented. The cast is incredible.

Debra Messing & Brian d'Arcy James. Count me in.
I hope this is good.

I think this looks promising- though I don't see how it could be a long-running show. What happens when the show opens?

I am very excited for this. I think it needs to stop being compared to Glee though.

I hope that Hilty's character continues on after the pilot. I think the show looks promising but I we'll see.

This show will spotlight the creation of a show from conception to Opening Night with all the drama that goes into creating a Broadway show. Thus this season the show will feature a musical based on Marilyn Monroe as spotlighted in the video. The show runners have said that if the show is a success and gets renewed then the second season would feature an entirely new production. What that would mean for the cast is unknown but I like what I've seen from the video clips so far. That number spotlighted at the end of the video with McPhee and Hilty is fantastic and if they offered it now on iTunes I'd buy it. This show is at the top of my TV shows to watch for next season; I'm just disappointed that I have to wait until 2012 for it to premiere.

I love Debra Messing, so I would've been there anyway, but thanks to the subject matter and the the talents involved it's a must see for me. Too bad I have to wait till 2012 to see it. I do hope they will use some more B'way stars as a guest stars and recurring.

Great to see real-life couple Dylan and Becky Ann Baker as her parents!
I enjoyed the trailer, more than I thought I would. And I'll be curious to see where they go with the story and characters. I think it looks very promising.

I'll admit the premise sounded like it was trying to be another Glee, but after watching the trailer, I'm stunned. I definitely want to watch this. That cast is golden. Loved Jack Davenport since Coupling and I was sad to see the cancellation of the underrated Swingtown.

I actually did a production of Godspell with Jaime Cepero, who's in the pilot. He's amazing!

Chicago, I completely agree.
I'm also super excited for McPhee! She's a fantastic singer and deserves more recognition. Hopefully, the director will bring out a better performance than we've seen from her. Sometimes I find her "acting" to be painful.

I'm so looking foreward to seeing Katharine McPhee on this. She's always been one of the most underrated Idol contestants ever. Brian d'Arcy James and Megan Hilty are the other reasons why I want to watch this.
