A couple of years back I fell in love with Valerie Cherish (Lisa Kudrow) in HBOs "The Comeback". I never really liked Kudrow in "Friends" but this role made me love her.

Does anyone else think this short lived series would be good musical idea? I think it would be more succesful as a musical than the show was.

I love the show. But by its very nature it is a VIDEO project.

First off... the series aired on HBO in 2005 -- 4 years ago, not 2. Also, as a huge fan of the series and someone who still keeps his Complete 1st Season/Series DVD accessible, I also say "no!".

To quote the great Valerie Cherish: "... I DON'T want to see THAT!"

The greatest reality show ever made?

Yes.

The worst idea for a musical ever (not) made?

Close.

The whole POINT of the show is that it is REALITY reality tv thus it can't work on stage by its very nature. Nor should it.

There are a lot of Valeries out there in LaLaLand, real or fake.

I LOVE the show but i must agree that this is a bad idea

And anyway,America decided not to tune in and watch the TV show (what the hell were you thinking lol) so it got axed, so i hardly think there gonna come running to a broadway version

Add me to the chorus of people who adore this show but just can't see it working onstage.


Some people paint, some people sew, I meddle.

Jane...Jane....

Actually, I think Lisa should revisit Valerie Cherish sometime or even do a cabaret as Valerie, but a musical no. But I think Valerie could do an evening at Joe Pub's and it would be hysterical.
