Hey, Judy and Mickey, let's put on a show!

(To the tune of "This Could Be The Start Of Something Big"-
by Steve Allen

You're working at Mary Kay, hawking some lip gloss,
Or pushing a clothing line that's sold on eBay
You pick the pageant gig,
You're wearing a Jennifer Aniston wig.
Tana, for you, it's not the start of something big!

You did the car brochure and pulled an all-nighter,
You chose to do the whole Palm Beach estate.
You always gave it your all,
Your team helped you carry the ball.
Kendra, for you, this is the start of something great!

I have a feeling that I'm going to be hearing lyrics and casting people instead of counting sheep tonight.

Ben Affleck....as Bill
Ben Stiller....as Sam
Rachel Dratch...Little Stacey
Megan Mullally...Kristin
Jennifer Lopez...Audrey
Caroline Kennedy...Elizabeth
Poppy Montgomery...Kendra
Raj...Jon Lovitz
Andy...Topher Grace
George...Ed Asner

I love Tammy Fay as Tana and Omarosa wouldn't think anybody but Omarosa could do her justice or be good-looking enough. LOL

which is precisely WHY i now cannot let her be omarosa. what about Dave Chapelle? it would have to be a man to truly insult her.

I love your song up there!!!! you rock.

i think these are right on - perfect:
elizabeth, raj and andy. ed asner might be perfect too - haven't seen him lately.
poppy - some pics look close, but face is too thin.
just looked up rachel dratch (didn't know name) from SNL - OMG YES!!!!

Um... no. Forehead's too high, the nose is all off, way too old, and very probably way too tall. Plus I only had those bags under my eyes when I had to listen to Raj asking women out in his sleep until four in the morning.

Besides, I'm not going to be in the musical. I can guarantee that. All I have to do is ask Mr. Trump to include me and my part will be cut instantly. It worked before, didn't it?

I don't think anyone on the show will have their own character in the musical, apart from Trump. But, just for funzies...

Russell Crowe...Trump
Matthew Broderick...Raj
Sarah Jessica Parker...Amy
Nathan Lane...Stacy
Christina Applegate...Kendra
David Hyde Pierce/Tim Curry/John Lithgow/Dianne Wiest...uptight executives on some of the tasks
Alan Alda...George
Joan Allen...Carolyn
a block of wood...Kelly
Tom Cruise...Bill
Matthew McConaghey...Troy
Winona Ryder...Erin

Cameos: Donny Deutsch, Robin, Omarosa

As for music, I'm sure someone can rewrite an Apprentice version of "Hair"...

ITA -- Joan Allen is THE BEST for Carolyn! (This is from "The Upside of Anger")

OOOh,

I think I'm with you on the first sentence. But Trump is very busy, and don't you think that russell crowe's will be happy to have an outlet for his temper?

I love your choices for:
trump, carolyn (madkata has convinced me!), and kendra.

Raj is a hard toss up btwn Broderick and Jon Lovitz. As Erin is btwn Winona and another one I saw.

thanks for the input.

KEEP EM COMIN, people!

Danny would probably star as himself in this musical

he might be too busy as the composer and the band. Can we put him in the corner with his guitar, instead?

but I like your thought. If we don't come up with anyone else that would be funny as Danny, we'll cast him, huh?

and I'm seriously rethinking the idea of allowing Omahosa to be Omahosa, as much as she'd love the attention. I think she should be played by a male comedian. Like Dave chappelle, if we can get him out of rehab - at least his schedule is clear. ;)

how about Adam Sandler, complete with guitar and song parodies?

Fabulous! Omahosa played by a male in drag is the Greatest!

How about this for the anthem?
Feel free to add verses!

(To the tune of "We Didn't Start The Fire)

Kendra's Song:

Omarosa, Home Depot, Trump Tower, Cucumber fiasco
Kwame, Kelly Perdew, Dog grooming, Fifth Avenue
Mark Burnett, Danny Jingle, Matt Calamari, Survivor Pringle

Pope John Paul, now it's goodbye
Kendra, I hate when you cry
L'il Stacey, Crustacean Nation, Maria, Sony PlayStation
Ivana, Marla Maples, Barenaked Ladies, Staples
Danny Deutsch, Vanilla Mint Crest, Pepsi Edge, Trump always knows best!

I'm the one Trump's gonna hire!
The crowd was clapping,
While Tana was napping.
She's the one he's gonna fire!
She's no streetsmart fighter,
I pulled the all-nighter!

Levi's, M and M's, Fuse TV,
Proctor and Gamble, Mattel, QVC.
Carolyn, George, Tana's casting trailer,
Robin, Melania, Kendra's artful t-shirt emailer!

Comb it, Flop it;
Long as I can fold it, My Haaaaaaaaaaair!

I would cast actors who sing or vice versa.

Jon Voight - Donald trump
Christopher Plummer - George
Nicole Kidman- Carolyn

Bette Midler - Tana
mandy Moore - Kendra
EMinem - Chris
Adam Sandler - Sam
Grace jones - Omarosa
Jon Bon Jovi - Troy
P. Diddy - Kwami
Jessica Simpson - Jen
Harry Connick Jr. - Bill

I think Quentin Tarantino would make a great Danny. They both have very quirky personalities.

Angel,
Thanks for the kind words and for coming up with such a cute idea. Maybe you could expand it to "Reality TV-The Musical" so that you could post it on other forums. After all, wouldn't we all like to hear a reality version of "My Way" or "I Gotta Be Me" sung with solos by Rob and Amber, Richard Hatch, Lex, Uchenna and Joyce, William Hung, etc?
Also, it could be in flashbacks, so we could predict the future for some of our favorites and get to cast them as well. I really would love to see Cher play Erin.

My husband is a professional pianist (he can also sing, but not so great)...he has credintials out the kazoo. Can you get him a job in this musical? Does he have to watch the show to qualify for the job? Does Tivo-ing it for me to watch count?

In the meantime, I'm working on a song and will get back to you.
