Rocky the Musical is going to Broadway!?While at first it may sound absurd,?give it moment to sink in and you’ll realize just how genius it truly is.?Picture Nathan Lane as the Burgess Meredith character. A beefed-up Matthew Broderick as Rocky … so dopey and so very masculine, but somehow so?sincere at the same time.
Maybe Tracy Morgan as Apollo Creed, and?the skinny chick from Parks and Rec as Adrian. It’s magic waiting to happen.
The casting choices are my own, but, in all seriousness, the musical theater version of the Oscar-winning?film?is?actually debuting on Broadway in March of next year. That’s no joke. It’s been playing?in Hamburg since late 2012 to rave reviews, so why not make the jump to Broadway??We all know what exceptional taste the Germans have. David Hasselhoff, anyone?
