STRANGE IDEA. AND THE MUSICAL OF ’9 TO 5′ KINDA BOMBED. FROM CNN…..
Dolly Parton’s hoping to make a “Joyful Noise” on Broadway one of these days with a musical about her life.

She tells CNN that she’s currently working to make that happen – and she already has an idea on who could play her on the Great White Way.

“I’m working on a musical about my life and I would love for it to get to Broadway,” Parton, 65, told CNN. “It’s certain to get on stage somewhere. I thought it would be a great way to tell my life story because you can get so many more things in a song. You can tell so many more stories [that way] than [with] just dialogue.”

The country legend says there are a lot of people who could portray her in the musical, but there are nonetheless some key requirements.

“I think on stage you’ve got to have a great voice and someone who’s great on stage,” Parton said. “I think Kristin Chenoweth is spectacular. ‘Cause she’s little and she’s short.”

Kristin Chenoweth To Star In Revival Of ‘On The Twentieth Century’.

GREAT SHOW WITH A GREAT HISTORY.
Tony Award winner Kristin Chenoweth said that her next Broadway project will be a revival of the On the Twentieth Century, the stylish 1978 musical comedy set on the 20th Century Ltd., the luxury-liner train that used to travel between Chicago and New York City.

She played movie star Lily Garland in a Roundabout Theatre Company reading of the Tony Award-winning show by composer Cy Coleman and lyricist-librettists Betty Comden and Adolph Green. Hugh Jackman and Andrea Martin were also in the reading, it was reported, respectively playing producer Oscar Jaffe (Lily’s old flame, hoping to revive his career by signing her to a play) and Letitia Primrose, a wealthy investor (and religious zealot) who promises to back their show.

“The next thing I do on Broadway will be On the Twentieth Century — I’m going to revive that show,” Chenoweth said on her Sept. 13 appearance on the talk show “The View,” on which she was promoting her new CD “Some Lessons Learned.”

IN THE ORIGINAL PRODUCTION MADELINE KAHN WAS REPLACED WITH JUDY KAYE AND THE SHOW BECAME A SMASH. BEFORE THAT IT WAS SHIT. FUNNY HOW ONE ACTOR CAN CHANGE THE COURSE.
