Damn it! I was hoping for FLOWER DRUM SONG LIVE!

Flower drum song live...hilarious!
Great to see this surge in musicals on TV. Hoping GREASE LIVE and HAIRSPRAY LIVE quality are a trend for great things to come! Both SOUND OF MUSIC LIVE and PETER PAN LIVE were duds.....ALSO look out for PBS documentary on. MIRANDA'S HAMILTON this fall. They also did a doc previosly on his IN THE HEIGHTS.

I saw Hairspray with Nick Jonas and Corbin Bleu, Marissa Jaret Winokur and Harvey Fierstein, so I hope this cast will be just as exciting!!!
I love " Flower Drum Song" too! ^ I saw this with Pat Suzuki, jack Soo when it played in Woodland Hills a million years ago!

It would be awesome with Constance Wu, Jamie Chung, Harry Shum, Jr., and Paolo Montalban.

Just as long as Edna is played by a big guy with an androgynous-but-good-voice.

John Travolta in a fat suit and throwing his voice just didn't cut it...

But the huge Audience for The Sound of Music is what started all of this. I didn't think it was too terrible - but now Peter Pan was - and I thought The Wiz was the worst of the bunch. Still, though - BRING 'EM ON!!!
