Whoopi in Xanadu?

Last night News 12 Long Island ran a blurb in the information bar that is at the bottom of their screen during newscasts. It said that Whoopie was going into XANADU. No other information was given.

I thought BWW would be abuzz with this story, but I can't find even a mention of it.

What gives?

Yeah, it's been all over the place since about 12:00 noon yesterday.

And it's Whoopi, not Whoopie.

Apparently it's part of her campaign to land the lead in the Dolly! Revival.

On internet boards, it's "Whoppi" more often than not.

James Dobson pronounces it like "Hoopy."

Should they revive "Whoopee!" for Whoopi?

Here's a thought, allofmylife, Don't make a new thread for an idiotic opinion you already posted in another thread.

Who will she replace? Not Tony Roberts, I hope!

Jackie Hoffman, but Hoffman's coming back after promoting her new CD, Whoopi is only going to be in the show for weeks

Now I think you're being facetious since if you read the link above you would know that she is replacing Jackie Hoffman as Calliope. That would be a VERY different show if they had Whoopi as Danny. Would Kenita have to be young Danny? Danni? haha.

DOLLY: YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT IT IS ALWAYS WRONG TO JOKE IN ANY WAY ABOUT XANADU.

BFB, then I apologized and, although it was uneeded, so did he. Why bring that up? It has nothing to do with you. Talk about beating a DEAD HORSE...

Maybe a little off-topic, but I hope that this is the first and last time I ever see James Dobson's name on this message board.

Well, at least until it comes time to announce his exit from the political stage.

Hi all. I'm new on this board and I actually haven't seen a show since I saw CATS when I was a kid. I'd like to go to xanadu and I like the idea of stage seating because I heard it's a great experience. But I noticed that ticketmaster isn't selling tickets for xanadu past July 27. I also hear that whoopi goldberg is coming on the show around that time. Will they increase prices by alot when she comes to the show? Is there any way i can buy tickets for august now? Thanks for any help. Oh and i'm taking someone else and I was wondering if for the other persons FIRST ever broadway show if you'd recommend on stage seating for XANADU or very nice audience seating for a regular non-musical play?

wicked_beast4,

I brought it up because I find - regardless of your apology - the irony amusing, very telling and worthy of pointing out.


Dead horse or not.

I wasn't joking about XANADU. I saw the show and rather liked it.

My computer was giving me problems for a while (now repaired) and I was only logging in when I was at the public library. I felt out of touch with lots of things.

I meant that when Whoopi took over FORUM, they revised the role of Psuedolus for a woman. Quite possibly they could be doing the same with XANADU.

Thank you very much.
