According to Mr. Wontorek, Joe Esterhaus is planning a campy musical based on the cult classic, Showgirls. Here, Wontorek gives a breakdown of who he'd like to see cast.
FYI....it's for a Vegas production, surprise, surprise.

Bring it to Broadway! This is one movie to stage musical I would actually want to see. Idina could play Cristal Connors. Kristin would make an interesting Nomi Malone. Game show contestants could play the other strippers. Where do I get my tickets?
Musical numbers will include:
"There's always someone younger and prettier coming down the stairs behind you."
"You are a whore, darlin'
"I am not a whore"
"You can't touch me, but I can touch you. I'd really love to touch you"
"Hey Darlin"
"I'm gettin' a little too old for that whorey look"
"I've lost everything! Luis, Marty, my baby with Chris, Chris himself, James. All I ever wanted was love." --Sheridan Crane "Passions"
-------
"Housework is like bad sex. Every time I do it, I swear I'll never do it again til the next time company comes."--"Lulu"
from "Can't Stop The Music"
-----
"When the right doors didn't open for him, he went through the wrong ones" - "Sweet Bird of Youth"
------------
---------
"Passions" is uncancelled! See NBC.com for more info.

Posted: 9/22/06 at 12:31pmSee it with friends if you do see it, it's too much for a single person to handle--you'll need someone to help talk you down.
Yes, we do need a third vampire musical.--Little Sally, Gypsy of the Year 2005.

Posted: 9/22/06 at 12:36pmI have always wondered if it surpasses Berkley's amazing performance in the Jessie Spano Caffeine Pill Freakout episode? I'm so excited!

There also has to be a production number that involves throwing french fries.

I can see it now...
"It's Ver-sayce"
Ver-sayce Ver-sayce
I shop at Ver-sayce
Ver-sayce? Ver-sayce?
In the forum?
It's the best place!
Versayce? Versace!
Is how its pronounced.
Regardless, you have great taste and my how you bounce!

i just hope they keep the choreography from the movie. those 'hand routines' were mesmerizing.
do you think they'd cast laChanze as Nomi? 'cause i'd love to see kenita miller in that role (DON'T FLAME ME!)

Posted: 9/22/06 at 2:56pmThe love ballad at the end of act one: "My nipples are hard. Why aren't yours?"

Yes but the closing number of Act One could be the stirring, "I'm a Dancer."
I would see this in a second. I think this is where porn stunt casting is going to help out. Idina, Kristin and Sutton are not taking their tops off. However, I could see Jenna Jameson playing Crystal.

Wait'll AmericaRight gets a load of this.
I haven't seen the movie.
But, man, that's pretty low inspiration.

Posted: 9/22/06 at 3:09pmHmm. Wouldn't mind seeing it! I actually think it might be fun!
...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

Posted: 9/22/06 at 3:49pmThere is a "short" promo that is included on the original "Showgirls" DVD (not the box set version that has the pasties)that actually refers to the "Showgirls" film as being a musical! I guess it's because of the dancing but I wouldn't consider the film to be a musical. However, I think it would make a very good one.
