Ugly Betty: The Musical???

Filed under: TV News > Broadway Babies > Michael Urie

Can it be happening? Is is true????

Is Ugly Betty really going to be turned into a musical?

Well, according to series star Michael Urie, it is!

In a recent radio interview with the UK's Heart, Urie said, "They do want to do an "Ugly Betty" musical, a full-on Broadway musical, but it’s all hush-hush."

And as for the stars to play them on stage, Urie adds, "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."

Interesting. We're almost tempted to go see it.

As for possibly doing an episode of Ugly Betty as a musical, Urie says, "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.”

Fun! We love musicals!

Urie also commented on Victoria Beckham's appearance on the show, as well as David Beckham's on-set visit.

He says, "I think everyone who worked on the show popped in at some point or another to just look at them because they are so gorgeous. They brought their gorgeous Beckham spawn also. They are so adorable, the little boys. It was fun. She’s just great. She’s teeny tiny, she’s so hot, and she’s sweet, sweet, sweet! They gave me some Beckham cologne. It was a nice parting gift. She’s the only guest star who’s ever been on the show and given gifts!”

Yea, VB should have been giving out her jean collection, cuz you know no one is willing to pay for it!

    Her jeans are not selling because they fit like hell. She used to have the greatest, hottest fit a few years ago, but now the cut and the fabric are shit. Bring back the classic, if it isn't broken, why fix it.

    What is up with that. I want the old rock n' republics back.

    Musicals suck, and musicals on television shows are dumb - I never watch those.

    I thought Broadway was supposed to be a creative expression and something different - not another spin off for television.

    Just to clear things up. We're planning on writing a musical episode, as it has been done before on Ally McBeal and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Everything is (like Michael said) on the down low, but just to clear things up; it's a musical episode. Planned so to spice the third season up a little due to the absence of several full-time cast members. We're moving to a New York based set and several won't make a full return, like Rebecca. But be sure to tune in for the third season; seeing as it will be a season of Betty you haven't ever seen before!
