Actor Michael Urie of the popular ABC television show "Ugly Betty" told a British radio station today that rumors of the series being adapted for Broadway might be true.
"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," Urie stated.
"Ugly Betty is a Golden Globe and Emmy winning comedy starring
America Ferrera in the title role, along with Eric Mabius,
Judith Light,
Rebecca Romijn and
Vanessa Williams. The series premiered on September 28, 2006, on ABC in the United States. It follows the life of the unglamorous and good-natured Betty Suarez (Ferrera), and her incongruous job at the ultra-chic New York City fashion magazine Mode." states press notes
