Anyone know who's writing thatDeath Becomes Hermusical? I remember Joe Iconis wrote a cabaret song based on the movie at some point.
I want to say the rumor was Frankel and Korie, but it was never substantiated.
She’s also been trying to do a Dolly musical or movie forever. And at one point she was rumored to be a contender for a Hello, Dolly revival before Bette finally said yes.

NOWaWarning said: "Am I missing something? Is Blanchard more than just a passable singer?"
Yes, I'm afraid you are (missing something).
I don’t mean any disrespect toward Tammy Blanchard as I am a big fan of hers. I’ve just never seen her in a musical where she displayed the pipes Audrey typically has. In Gypsy, How to Succeed, and Into the Woods, she struck me as a great actress who could carry a tune. Not a bring down the ho

Glinda’s costumes went through some changes when they mounted the tour and all the other productions followed suit. Didn’t they also recently add/change one of the Morrible costumes giving her a green version of her first costume?
I HATE people saying it’s an all female creative team. WHAT about lighting, sound, backstage, props, casting, marketing and so on.
I don’t think anyone is meaning to leave those people out. When people say the creative team, they’re typically referring specifically to the writers and director. It’s just common theatre shorthand.
Everyone involved should be very proud of this run. I didn’t think this show would last a year with

I sincerely hope you can understand the difference in feeling icky because someone is a Disney villain and feeling icky because you're seeing a metaphor for centuries of racial tension and disrespect played out on screen.
I do understand the difference. What I mean is that if one chooses to read the film with that subtext, then it is a good thing that the movie is portraying Ursula and her acts as truly evil and negative.

Well I think icky undertones are just fine for the villain of the piece.

I’d be surprised if Rebel Wilson’s name isn’t in the mix, even if she’s not my personal choice. My choice would be for this film to burn in Development Hell for all eternity.

I think her name and the show would sell great for a limited run. And if it gets good reviews, awards, etc., that could keep it running even longer. And they could get some great replacements to take over just like in the original run.

I’ve actually been very impressed with the stuff we’ve seen of Kennedy so far. When she was announced, I could not see her in the role at all.
