Girls just want a Broadway run

Cyndi Lauper on the Great White Way? Please, God, yes!

The '80s pop pixie is angling to make her Broadway debut as Mrs. Lovett, the cannibal cook in Stephen Sondheim's "Sweeney Todd."
"Cyndi came in to audition and just blew the producers away," says a source close to the production. "She was incredibly prepared, knew the music and knocked their socks off.
The only trouble is, she's never done musical theater before. But they're seriously considering taking the risk."
They better! The show will open this fall.

 

woot.

Whoah! That is so insane it's completely awesome. I would totally pay the clams to see that! But watch them cast, like, Kelsey Grammer or somebody as Sweeney. Shudder. I hate casting directors.

(In case you couldn't tell, I'm killing a few hours with only the internet for company tonight. Let's phone-date this week okay? No I mean it. Even if I'm completely wiped out, which I just always am. Cuz you're my lady, and I am your... man?... good night.)

Oh man. Don't say that!! Who knows, they might put Doogie in there. If he's not busy in the Tick Tick Boom tour around Europe or wherever he is.

YES. PHONE DATE. PLEASE.
