Scoop: Lil Abner cast announced
Here's the latest report from Greg:
Wow, did you notice what I noticed? Greg is actually playing a role. I'm trying to remember the last time he trod the boards during the regular season and failing. (I'm sure Greg will email and tell me within nanoseconds of this post going up.)
Also I had no idea Julie Newmar was a Broadway musical type in her pre-Catwoman days. Sounds like from the character name that her role on Broadway also relied on her sex appeal.
And for a real sneak peek, check out Lil Abner and Daise Mae:
