What would you all think if producers started doing a Broadway Idol where 12 people got voted into various shows?

It would finish dead last in the ratings.

Isn't that basically what they did with the show Fame a couple years ago? and look how well that turned out. The person didn't even end up in the show, if I remember correctly. They didn't make it through the rehearsal process.

Going by the hellacious sounding voices of the contestants from American Idol this year, they'd all have Broadway employment in no time at all. MEDIOCRITY RULES Y'ALL!!!

American Idol is a joke! "We're here to find the best singers in America!! I watch it and just think about all the talent that is on broadway and @ my school and they just can't even compare to it! Broadway Idol? Isn't that what American Idol is turning into anyways? I feel like auditioning just so I can get a PR ticket to a broadway show!!

I would probably watch it. It would be cool if they can have people who actually have been on Bway. Many of our Broadway performers are unemployed.

Isn't Andrew Lloyd Webber doing this in London? He is reviving "The Sound of Music" in London and having an American Idol-esque show to cast Maria. Is he still planning on doing that?
