It's the way Hollywood has always worked, but I still don't like it. I think they think the Chace Crawfords and Julianne Houghs of the world have enough popularity (more than the Broadway people I mentioned) because of TV and are probably in the right price range, while, say, Amy Adams or Anne Hathaway are too expensive and Sierra Boggess or Jennifer Laura Thompson aren't well known enough. But I still think it sucks, because I love musicals and I'd like to see people who can actually sing AND dance AND act. And I didn't even like "Footloose" on stage. I thought the book stunk and most of the music written for the show stunk even worse. Maybe that's why they don't care all that much who they cast -- because it's a lousy vehicle, anyway.
