Broadway Talk

There's some pretty interesting happenings in the Broadway world that are worth talking about, so here goes... and by the way, apparently we love the newly-discovered bullet feature on blogspot.com.

• Zac Efron is considering the role of Alan Strang in Equus on Broadway! So. Exciting. I guess he's doing it because he wants to catch up to his girlfriend's naked-views count. Although it's going to be much harder coming up with cute nicknames for his magic wand. We get to see Troy's Sharpay? Yeah, that works.
• The cast of Family Guy is going to perform Family Guy Sings! at Carnegie Hall. Amazing. That literally combines our family's two favorite things: musicals and Family Guy.
• We all know that Wicked is coming to the big screen, but now there are rumors that Spring Awakening and In the Heights could be making their way there, too. Apparently J.Lo really wants to help ITH become a movie. A chance to rewind and replay every move Lin-Manuel makes? We'll take it.
• Bailey Hanks is going to play Sharpay in Paper Mill's production of HSM. There's really nothing to say here that's witty. That actually sounds pretty perfect.
• Telsey + Co. is casting the new Addams Family musical or whatever. That is so weird. But Bebe Neuwirth is going to play Morticia! We have watched her and Karen Ziemba's performance on Broadway's Leading Ladies about 4,000 times. We love her. And the Addams family is kind of close to our hearts...there was a phase in there where Dad called Elyse "Pugsley." His reasoning was literally because he thought she was acting like Wednesday. Why didn't he just call her Wednesday? We will never know. Probably because he killed two birds with one stone by calling her Pugsley.
