“Ugly Betty” To Awkwardly Terrify Broadway

Michael Urie, whose name sounds like urine and appears on “Ugly Betty,” told a British radio show that a musical version of the hit series might be in the works. Yay! Another reason never to set foot in Times Square:

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

But will the music be Mexican-tinged to reflect gross, ugly, awkward, unlovable Betty’s spicy background? Will she, at the show’s climax, throw off her dowdy serape to reveal a hot mamacita in a clingy dress? Haha that would be so -incredibly hot- racist. Cough.

Is “Ugly Betty: the Musical” headed for Broadway? [LA Times]
