Ugh. He'd never survive the grueling schedule.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I'M IN LOVE WITH SUTTON FOSTER *jumps on Lettermans desk*

A little known fact is that in the original screenplay, Pan's Labyrinth was Pan's FLAByrinth. Hmmmmmmm...glad they changed it.

When did Tom Cruise ever say he wanted to be in a Broadway musical? Source, please, if any.

Uhm,

His second link..



"Leno inquired if Cruise would ever consider taking a role on a Broadway stage, Cruise gave the talk show host a very positive answer, "Yes, I do movies and everything, but I wouldn't say no to Broadway. I'd like to do a musical"."


Could you sound more condescending, Ed?
"Source, please, if any."

I saw the interview. Seemed to me he was saying he wouldn't do Broadway but he would do a musical. As in a film musical.

I heard he's going to play Roger in the 2010 Rent revival. You're never too old to play that part.

Exactly. From all sources involved (the media, press, etc.)... he was implying a movie musical -- NOT the Broadway stage.

Listen to his comments again.

If he's got the money, Broadway's got the time.

What about "Scientology: The Musical?"

He could win a Tony as Xenu.

Can he sing at all? Maybe he mentions that in the video, but I refuse to watch it to find out.

They drummed you out of Hollywood....so you come crawling to Broadway. Well, Broadway doesn't go for thetans and Xenu.

I didn't care about Tom Cruise. I was more excited about Leno talking what a big Broadway fan he is. "Broadway IS MY LIFE!!"

I can't think of any musical worth filming that Cruise would be appropriate for.
