692204, Here he is on the Tonys with NPH: Posted by Frank Longo, Wed Feb-04-15 02:27 PM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZdABd19NzA He's hosted the Tonys a few times. He did a big Oscars opening number too. He's a big musical theatre dude at heart.
692205, Well, he was in the Les Mis film Posted by mrhood75, Wed Feb-04-15 02:28 PM And there's this as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk3l05_XveA And this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNEUtN21cuU
692306, Go to PBS and see him star in OKLAHOMA Posted by CaptNish, Thu Feb-05-15 08:44 PM I dunno if it's still up, but he's great.
692299, You know what? I like the casting Posted by spades, Thu Feb-05-15 06:40 PM but still, nah.
692187, Katherine McPhee would most certainly be attached Posted by John Forte, Wed Feb-04-15 09:50 AM
692307, Do it like JUMP STREET Posted by CaptNish, Thu Feb-05-15 08:45 PM Embrace the cheese, and it could easily work.
692308, Better yet: hire Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Posted by Frank Longo, Thu Feb-05-15 08:52 PM Not only do they love musicals, but they would fill it to the brim with devastating satire about our killer cop culture.
692331, i like this idea with the cast mentioned above Posted by Calico, Fri Feb-06-15 07:54 AM including Lady McPhee (i don't know why i find her so attractive, but i do)
692323, Shoot the music moments like music videos Posted by SoulHonky, Fri Feb-06-15 01:56 AM That "Let's be careful out there" clip is 100% more awkward because it's a dude singing to a room full of cops who have zero reaction. Then again, it's probably better to avoid songs about basic facts and focus the songs on the emotions of the characters. It would be easier to make a show like Oz into a musical than Law & Order or Hill St. Blues because of that. A musical procedural is a pretty damn difficult venture.
