Kevin Falls’ adaptation of the Argentinian telenovela “Lalola” has a pilot order.
Tentatively titled “Eva Adams,” the hour show is set at in a sports management firm and in the world of fashion. It revolves around a womanizing lothario who, under a witch’s spell, turns into a beautiful woman. He then learns what it’s like to experience the same kind of abuse and harassment he used to dole out.
If you’ve ever had to battle the throngs of teenagers waiting at the stage door of the Eugene O’Neill Theatre in NYC, then you know just what Spring Awakening mania is.
Well, we just nabbed the original Wendla herself: Lea Michele has been picked as the self-obsessed “star female singer” in Glee.
This pilot from Ryan Murphy has promised to feature up to four musical numbers per episode, so we’ll get to hear her amazingly beautiful voice (she was recently a fantastic Eponine in the Les Miserables concert at the Hollywood Bowl).
Glee also hit up another Broadway veteran to fill the lead role. Matthew Morrison plays “Will,” a thirty-something Spanish teacher at the Ohio high school who has the daunting task of taking over the school’s glee club, which has become a haven for outcasts.
