Ugly Betty For Broadway? 5/28/08

Ugly Betty star Michael Urie has let slip TV bosses are planning on taking the hit U.S. show to Broadway. The cast of the program are soon going to be able to showcase their vocal talents in a musical episode - and now Urie admits there are plans afoot to stage a full theatrical production in New York.

Urie insists that if the Broadway show is given the go ahead, he would like all of the original cast to take part. He tells British radio station Heart FM, "They do want to do an Ugly Betty musical, a full-on Broadway musical, but it's all hush-hush.

I think it would be great, and they should use the cast from the show. "I think we would all do it, although we maybe don't dance and sing as well as professional singers and dancers.

I think it would be fun for us to do it for a while, and then they could get real people in. They definitely want to do an episode that is a musical one, but then they want to do a full stage show. I think it's a great idea. It would definitely work."
