These ads make me never want to see another musical or turn my TV on again.

Emma Stone is much more a Rizzo than a Sandy.

I think Andrew Garfield is much more Rizzo than Danny.

"Might the producers think that a live airing of A CHRISTMAS STORY at the beginning of December could hurt ticket sales if it plans to come back next winter?"

Mr. Nowak, that is a good point. But I think it could also help raise the profile of the musical. The show can only play in so many cities and I think a tv broadcast would be welcome to those cities who can't see the stage show. To me, it's like the show "A Christmas Carol." There are so many versions on tv, yet theaters all across the country put on the production and many use it as their "profit" show.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I'm sorry, but I do not think of a "family-friendly classic" when I think of the musical GREASE. I also do not believe a TV-PG rating will suffice. From my understanding, the network will look to maintain a TV-G rating for whatever the broadcast is. Keep this in mind when suggesting shows...

I actually really LIKE some of the casting choices...

Am I the only one who thinks Mame cannot be cast in a color blind fashion? (She's a WASP and the scenes with family would be very strange.)

"Am I the only one who thinks Mame cannot be cast in a color blind fashion?"

The bigger question in my mind is will there be a backlash over the Ito character?

Mame's race would be a bigger issue when she goes to meet Beau's family.

It would.

My top choice is "Singin' in the Rain" with Hugh Jackman-nice casting. (But I'd guess they'll get an equally big name for the Debbie Reynolds part-and that would not be Sutton Foster.)

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

Doesn't Paramount have rights to any filmed version of Grease? I know when David Ian originally staged Grease in London back in 1993, he had to team up with Robert Stigwood as he was one of the producers of the film in order to get the film songs. I'm sure if NBC wanted to do Grease with the film songs then they could make if a coproduction with Paramount.

Singin in the Rain would need to be licensed or coproduce with Warner Bros since they own the rights to the original film.
