So here's the pic that inspired what's to come when you decide to continue reading on:
I know. I know. I am awaiting the sour apples and tomatoes to be thrown at me. C'mon. You know you want to.
But seriously. If FOX could successfully pull off a quirky dramady musical, then what say you naysayers that don't think that the fanatical vampire series could be pulled off as a Broadway show?
For fuck's sake, they did the Anne Rice classic; LESTAT: The Musical!
So, picture this casting if you will (and I apologize beforehand for this crack!blog);
For Edward Cullen... I'm imagining a really loft, stalkerish, brooding fella whose voice can not only seduce you, but cause a chill down your spine as he stares and sings his way into your heart... For your consideration; Mr. Aaron Tveit. Most infamous for guest-starring in Gossip Girl, but the Broadway world knows him for his stints on Wicked (which Idina Menzel won her Tony Award from), Hairspray (which Matt Morrison originated the recent revival of), and notoriously from Next To Normal.
If you actually watch the Broadway performance of this song, you can get where I see the whole "hot stalker" vibe... If he played Edward Cullen, I'd so willingly jump ship.
Speaking of said ship, who do you suppose should play Jacob Black? At the moment, I actually have no clue...
And Bella Swan? The girl that launched a thousand "Woe is me for loving a vampire"?
Again, currently I have no clue... Maybe I should've thought long and hard about this crack!blog before actually posting it.
... eh, or maybe I should end this on a Glee-ful note?
Like this:
Woohoo!!!!
Okay, so granted from what I read it's not nine episodes, but more or less the Spring Premiere (April 13!) AND the Season One Finale. But they're not ruling out the possibility of Idina Menzel playing Rachel Berry's long-lost mama!
Hhmmm maybe Lea Michele could play Bella?... Nah...
