Ugly Betty: The Broadway Musical

An Ugly Betty musical is in the works.

Creators of the hit TV show have already mooted the idea of doing a one-off musical episode, but Micheal Urie - who plays camp assistant Marc St James - has EXCLUSIVELY told Heart that the idea keeps growing.

He confessed: “I don’t know about an Ugly Betty movie but 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.”

He added: “They definitely want to do an episode that is a musical one but then they want to a full stage show. I think it’s a great idea. It would definitely work.”

Vanessa Williams - who plays Michael’s character’s boss on the show, Wilhelmina Slater - is an established singer and stage performer.

Filming on Season 3 starts in New York in June.
