UGLY BETTY: Song, Dance & Shakespeare

Reason #7,847 I am dying to attend the network upfronts later this month in NYC – the UGLY BETTY song and dance number being performed by Michael Urie (Marc), Becki Newton (Amanda) and Marc Indelicato (Justin). Yup, my three favorite characters will be entertaining the audience with a “splashy” number when ABC announces its fall schedule on May 15th. Unless some network exec hears my cries and hooks me up with press passes I’m going to miss seeing the event for myself…sigh.

But this might not be the only musical number for the cast of the hit ABC show.  Producers have been considering a muscial episode for next season.  Star America Ferrara says the cast has been begging for it since episode one.  Sure to be a stand out is Vanessa Williams, whom if you recall was a major recording artist long before she became Creative Director at Mode.

After hitting the stage at the upfronts, Michael Urie will be doing another live performance but this time as Horatio in the South Coast Repertory’s staging of Hamlet, opening June 1 after a week of preview performances. If you’re an Ugly Betty fan try to check this one if you can.
