Sorry if this has been posted , but is this real?

On January 21st, 2008, The 24 Hour Company will team with the Exchange to produce The 24 Hour Musicals. Four brand new musicals will be written, cast, rehearsed and performed at Joe’s Pub in a single day, featuring with an all-new all-star line up of Broadway performers, great composers and writers, directors and to top it all off, choreographers and musical directors. Led by creative director Ted Sperling (musical director of Light in the Piazza, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and South Pacific and director of the Public’s See What I Wanna See and Striking 12), the participants will be a who’s who of American musical theatre, all clashing under one small roof in the smallest amount of time.

Already scheduled to appear are: Idina Menzel (Wicked, Rent), Victoria Clark (Light in the Piazza), Denis O’Hare (Take Me Out, Sweet Charity), Tracie Thoms (Rent, Cold Case) Cheyenne Jackson (All Shook Up, Xanadu) and Mo Rocca (25th Annual County Spelling Bee, The Daily Show), Nellie McKay (Three Penny Opera)-- and we’ve only just started...

Proceeds from The 24 Hour Musicals benefit the Exchange, a theatre production company in New York that reinterprets classic texts and supports development in order to create the classics of the future. Unlike other theatre companies, the Exchange supports the work of a number of other artists and companies through the Orchard Project retreat in upstate New York (www.orchardproject.com) and with initiatives such as the Kesselring Fellowship, a writing award it presents in partnership with the National Arts Club. (www.exchangenyc.org).

Yeah I read either on Idina's website or a major fan site that she's not doing that anymore she couldn't get her schedule fixed for it.

This sounds like so much fun to see though!

I was gonna say! She's got an album coming out the week after. You think she'd have enough on her mind??

I wish I could be at Joe's Pub to watch...
