Oh my...

At least this might be fun:
"Special performances and celebrity judges include Michael Cerveris, who created the role on Broadway and stage/screen legend, Ann-Margret."
I don't know... What do you all think?
"In theater, the process of it is the experience. Everyone goes through the process, and everyone has the experience together. It doesn't last - only in people's memories and in their hearts. That's the beauty and sadness of it. But that's life - beauty and the sadness. And that is why theater is life." - Sherie Rene Scott

Dammit. They got me this year!
Last year, with the Bill Clinton in CHICAGO thing, I knew it was a joke.
But I forgot it was April 1 and they got me! Damn them!

What was last years?
My favorite is how it says Fox owns reality TV.

Posted: 4/1/07 at 12:39amI knew this was a joke, but I really like Ann-Margret. So now I don't know what to think. Part of me was hoping to see her on prime time TV.

Posted: 4/1/07 at 12:49amgranted it's a joke, BUT not such a bad idea,
Attend the tale of Bovine Boy
His party threads we all enjoy
But does he have Mad Cow Disease?
He doesn't eat beef - but cows skating? - oh please!!!
With cocoa!?!
And lemonade!?!

Posted: 4/1/07 at 1:07amTo answer your question neddyfrank2--I believe last year's was an article called 10 songs Sodheim wishes he never wrote or something like that. It was a spoof on an actual article from the Times where he listed songs he wished he'd written.

You don't joke about The Who. EVER!

Posted: 4/1/07 at 1:39amI would've actually watched this. Even though it's a Broadway reality show (stupid idea) and it's on the Devil's network (FOX).

OH GOD I totally believed this! And I told someone about it!
I think my favorite BWW April Fool's article was the one about ALW helping Sondheim work on Bounce. Is that archived somewhere? That was HILARIOUS.

I don't mean to sound like a total stoner but:

Posted: 4/1/07 at 10:00amI was about to go on the website of Fox television. I was really surprised about Dakota Fanning... im really gullible! The only one I didnt believe was the project that Raul would be working on.
#22re: 'TOMMY Can You Hear Me?' Reality Show To Air On FOX
Posted: 4/1/07 at 10:11amI will admit that they totally got me. Happy April Fools everyone!
