Ugly Betty to become a Broadway Musical?

Published on May 28, 2008 at 11:26 AM

Hot Momma Gossip has learned, Ugly Betty might be turned into a Broadway musical.

The secret comes from actor Michael Urie, who plays Marc on the show.

In a recent British radio interview Urie revealed:

  • “They do want to do an “Ugly Betty” musical, a full-on Broadway musical, but it’s all hush-hush.”

And who should star in the Musical version, Urie dreams:

  • “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.”   (Note to Michael – Vanessa Williams — your boss on the show — is a trained singer-dancer.)

And what about an episode of Ugly Betty as a musical to test things out, 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.”

Urie also gossiped on Victoria Beckham’s appearance on the show, and husband David’s on-set visit:

  • “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!”
