New reality show to cast for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
According to the Guardian plans are set to air another reality show to cast for a Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat revival. The show will be called “Any Dream Will Do”
I hear moans and groans from some theatre circles about thus current trend. However in my opinion in the end it is a boost for musical theatre. “How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?” was a huge, and I suspect, unexpected success.
NBC Grease You’re the one that I want talent show
Grease is one of my favorite movies. On January 7th NBC will air a 90 minute premier of “Grease You’re the one that I Want”
They have an impressive panel of judges including original co-writer Jim Jacobs, David Ian and Kathleen Marshall.
My expectations are pretty low for this show. But what do I know. I thought “Dancing With The Stars” would be a flop.
Kristin Chenoweth working on sitcom pilot
On broadwayworld.com it was posted that Kristin Chenoweth and Nathan Lane are working on a sitcom pilot. Obviously there are people that really believe in Kristin in TV land as this will be her second stab at a starring role in a sitcom.
I personally can’t see this working. NBC attempted this formula with “Good Morning, Miami”, which was met with a lukewarm reception at best.
Secondly I’m not interested in a show starring Nathan Lane.

I think Nathan is incredibly talented but personally I can only handle so much of the guy. He’s like Robin Williams in that he is best in moderation.
