NYC IN JAN 09 HAS TO BE ON
I say, recycling my subject line from an old post. (Firefox has the most incredible memory for these things.)
BUT. ZOMG. NINE TO FIVE. NEW MUSICAL WITH CAST OF WIN:
20th Century Fox’s 1980 hit film "9 to 5" has been given a Broadway musical makeover with the help of the movie’s original star, Dolly Parton, writing the music and lyrics, Patricia Resnick, adapting her own screenplay for the stage, director Joe Mantello and choreographer Andy Blankenbeuhler. Along with an all-star cast, including Megan Hilty, Stephanie J. Block, Allison Janney and Marc Kudisch, 9 to 5 will premiere at Center Theatre Group’s Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles beginning in September before heading East to Broadway.
Allison. Friggin'. Janney. And obviously, SJB and Megan Hilty as well. BUT. ALLISON JANNEY ZOMG!!!! IN A FRIGGIN' SOUTHERN-FRIED MUSICAL. HOW CRACKTASTIC WILL THAT BE. THERE IS ONLY A WORLD OF FLAIL I HAVE FOR THIS WOMAN. Seeing her live would be kick.ass. medland - you want to be coming to NYC in January next year to see teh Janney in action too, yes?!?!!?!? ;)
Edited to add: I REALLY want to see Cry Baby too (and I will, in June!). Because Harriet Sansom Harris is in it - FRASIER-RELATED FLAIL - and now that I'm stalking broadwayworld.com instead of GOING TO BED LIKE I SAID I WOULD, I've discovered that there are very hot young men in the show as well, drool. Like James Snyder and Spencer Liff. I don't even know what they've done. But they're cute. Hee.
