....or so Trump made it seem on tonight's finale...they were in the front row, Barry cheering his head off, Fran sitting there stonefaced.
Weisslers to produce Apprentice musical....

Haha. Yeah I'm almost suprised because we know The Weisslers usually invest in revivals.
This should be quite an interesting project now that Fran & Barry are invovled.

This could be a serious worry. What next, Survivor the musical?

Haha Survivor: The Musical-- sort of reminds me of Spelling Bee without the spelling with the people getting kicked off and such.
I think I smell a flop with this one.

But they won't freaking produce Opposite of Sex. Dear God---this is what is wrong with the theatre community. Stop with the TV shows, jukebox musicals and the like. NEW MATERIAL MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND.

Could this be the beginning of a whole new genre? The Reality Musical...The Apprentice (The Musical) Survivor(The Musical) Cops (The Musical) and When Celebrity Boob Jobs Go Wrong (The Musical). Aaahhhhhhhhh.....

Hmmm, bad idea i think, whats next? Survivor the musical...
"Trapped in a Deserted Island,
With only sand in my pants
and stars in my eyes"

"I hope i win the mil'
before the tribal counsil'

they should FIRE this idea, not HIRE it

Trump should just get the audience to be in it and then he wont have to hire anyone.
LOL!
I bet it could be funny. They should hire someone like Vilanch to write it.
Vilanch/Shaiman Wittman.
ps I can't wait for Gerard Alessandrini's number:
Mr Trump- "You're Fired" finale!

When Trump first announced this last night I thought it could work as Avenue Q or Spelling Bee does. But, the qoutes in the article talk about it being a serious "love" story and that makes me think it will not work as well as the humorous side would.

If it was a comedy (very VILANCH, tongue in cheek and campy)
it could work.
As a love story. GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

They should cast Audra McDonald or Heather Headley as Omorosa...LOL

And exactly how will they put this up in one year without a librettist and composer attached to the project yet?

The Weisslers have put plenty of bad stuff up quickly.

I found myself double checking the date to make sure it wasn't April 1st.

"NEW MATERIAL MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND."
Actually, this would be new material. Truly original musicals are very rare. Around 90% of musicals are based on previously written material. With the right team, this could really work as a comedy. I don't understand the love story thing. There's nothing about The Apprentice that has anything to do with love. Of course, this is VERY premature and it could result in nothing at all.
But hey, I have to hand it to Trump for supporting musical theatre.

hmmmmm.
Am I the only one wondering if maybe Trump is where the "extra money" came from to bring Sweet Charity into town? And perhaps this is what Barry and Fran now have to do to "pay Trump back"?

Hasselhoff has to play the Donald to insure the show will be a total disaster. There also has to be a song about Omorosa & his hair . Carolyn has to do a steamy sex scene with George & another one where she vents her spleen @ the Donald
