Arts Counting the Seconds…
With the help of the Tony-winning composers behind the smash musical Urinetown, Joe Esterhasz is turning Showgirls into a musical.
In the words of my best friend Mindy (she who introduced me to the film in the first place): “The only thing that could make the pool scene any better is singing.”
With Gina Gershon already on board, Showgirls: The Musical is set to open in Las Vegas sometime in the future, and certainly not soon enough…
This is going to be the best Vegas show ever conceived! I hope they bring you on as a consultant.
Up until now, my favorite way to watch Showgirls was with the Spanish dub on. It's like watching the world's dirtiest telemundo soap. The passion the voice over actress gives Liz Berkley's lines makes her performance somewhat dimensional. You can't beat the intensity of a cat fight in Spanish. “Soy un bailarín!” My hands will be busting into the famed face front, criss cross move all weekend just thinking about this show.
