‘Ugly Betty’ musical to go ahead

There was supposed to be a musical episode of the hit show, “Ugly Betty” that was set to go forth in 2007, but plans got scrapped, much to the cast’s dismay. Rumors are resurfacing now that the musical is set to go ahead.

Vanessa Williams says, “Our musical episode is back on! I think it’s going to be our 16th episode of the season.”

Williams went on to say that the original composer for the 2007 musical episode, Marc Shaiman, may no longer be attached to the new version.

She adds, “The man who does our original scoring will be writing some of the music. I think it’s going to be a combination of original material and some really popular pop tunes – similar to Moulin Rouge, pop tunes integrated into a musical show. We’re all really excited about it. I’m sure Wilhelmina’s material will be really biting!”

I’m sure it will be just fabulous. I miss Vanessa Williams’ singing career, so it will be a nice change from her acting. We’ll try to get our hands on the audio from the episode when it airs.
