She’s the one that they want?
Even though I’d bet my blog that it isn’t going to happen, Britney Spears is reportedly in talks to take over the role of Sandy Dumbrowski in the current Broadway production of “Grease” this summer. She was also in talks to play the lead in “A Streetcar Named Desire” in London.
Don’t get me wrong — Britney amuses me as much as she does the next guy, but there’s something I just can’t wrap my head around. Being a successful performer on Broadway requires two very important skills: believable acting and the ability to sound good when singing live. Has she proven that she can do either of these things? The singing is irrefutable, but I can’t believe there are still people out there who were impressed by her role on “How I Met Your Mother.” Just look at “Crossroads,” people! That’s when she was at her best!
So who do I suggest for the new Sandy? Elizabeth Berkeley, of course! Seriously, go watch “Showgirls” 30+ times and I promise you’ll see things my way.
(Thanks, Doug.)

Noooooooooooooooo! The Broadway freak inside me can’t take any more of this ridiculousness!
First The Little Mermaid on roller skates, then Spiderman the Musical, then Legally Blonde (which is now a reality show), now this?!
MAKE IT STOP!!!!
Uncalled for.
Seriously? This is OUT OF CONTROL! First it was the Little Mermaid on roller skates, then Spiderman the musical, then Legally Blonde (which has now been parlayed into a reality show) and now this?! I’m afraid to ask what’s going to plague Broadway next!
My friends tricked me into watching Crossroads one time. Britney’s baby voice made my ears bleed repeatedly. The funniest part is when she’s in the bathtub crying because her mother doesn’t love her. She’s crying and then lets out the loudest short of all time. It’s hilarious.
