Hey a friend of mine is working on the new version of the kids show The Electric Company, and it has a bunch of broadway names attached, Jenni Barber (Spelling Bee) is a series regular, the music is done by Chris Jackson, Tommy Kail, and Bill Sherman of ITH! And I heard Karen Olivo, Lin Manuel Miranda, Andrea Burns, and Mark Linn Baker guest star on a few episodes! There is a clip of the show on youtube!! Looks like its going to be great!!!

There will always be one THE ELECTRIC COMPANY and that is the original one, which ran from 1971 to 1977. Period.

Tons of great people were in it:

Morgan Freeman
Mel Brooks
Luis Avalos
Joan Rivers
Gene Wilder
Zero Mostel

... and of course, the sensational Rita Moreno and her famous cry: "... hey, you guys!"
