Is "Ugly Betty: the Musical" headed for Broadway?

A Broadway musical version of "Ugly Betty"?

OMG, it makes total sense!

Michael Urie -- who plays camp assistant Marc St. James and appears at left with castmate Becki Newton -- told a British radio station (Heart) that this fantastic idea is turning into a reality.

“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.”

Memo to Michael: Dude, Vanessa Williams -- your boss on the show? -- is a trained singer-dancer. IMDb her sometime.

The "Ugly Betty" star also told Dean Piper about having Victoria Beckham on the show and David Beckham and their kids on the set.

"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!”

Yeah, but her own cologne? Can you say 'cheesy?'

Great interview. I think though on the topic of 'Ugly Betty' becoming a broadway musical would be fantastic! Becki Newton and Michael Urie are my TOTAL favourite on the show and me and my friend (Lara Fenny) are the BIGGEST Ugly Betty fans in the world , the whole school thinks we are mad and say that we are never going to live in New York, own a fashion magazine or meet the ugly betty cast.(But we know they are wrong!!!) I really hope that Ugly Betty gets turned into a musical and i would be definately watching it!! xxx
